Ride one of these, gotta say, beautifull results of pure brilliant engineering. Aint that fast, but classy as hell. Id choose this baby over any harley
How not to start a /2: 1) Put it on the side stand so it burns oil 2) Don't crack the throttle 3) Don't tickle it at all 4) Treat the kick starter like a pull cord on a chainsaw 5) Let it sit and idle for 20 minutes without any airflow
Had one of those in the 60s. He needed to raise the float level in the carbs by pressing down on the ticklers for a one kick start. It also had a choke but I never used it. Bags were after market made by a company called Wixom I doubt you could find them new today.
No, the oil simply does not return to the sump from the left side.it seeps into the combustion chamber and burns at start up. I use the side stand to open the garage door, then store on central stand.
DO NOT KICKSTART A /2 ON ITS SIDE STAND; IT WILL BREAK. If experiencing hard starting, install a Emerald Island coil - much hotter spark. This bike also needs its carbs synced.
I chose to watch this video because it's supposed to be a R50 test drive, Nope, instead I saw a kick starting ritual similar to a H-D knucklehead and the meth lab it's garaged at.
When starting the bike on its sidestand, oil accumulates on the left cylinder, and when you start it, it burns off. If it were started upright stationary(on its centerstand), it wouldn't smoke like that...
Thats the beuty of BMW.. kickstart at diff. direction.. the smoke from pipe.. came out like shisha b4 engine running..n the sound is great.. only the guy.. totally suck.!
Yeah, very sad..... Some thief is holding that poor bike hostage. This is one of those "proof of life" videos they send to the family in order to demand ransom. Maybe we can all pitch in and save her! You bad men should stick to stealing Harleys!! Bad bad men.
Quelle honte, un boeuf qui démarre une si belle moto, et en plus il est d'une tendresse pour rouler avec.... une catastrophe ( en prime pas de casque). Une horreur de comportement. J'achète mais pas le gars avec.
