I've been enjoying your videos for a while now, but I keep watching this one because I love your reaction to the glued in spring plate, it reminds me of some of the horror scenes we see in our car shop.
Those sliding dowel pins are 8 mm diameter with 1.25 mm thread pitch on my 1995 K75 and I expect on all 2 valve K bikes as they use the same power train. You can buy a pair of them locally and grind the heads off.
Your 'choke' actually does nothing but increase the idle for quicker warm-ups. It does not enrich the fuel mixture or anything of that nature. So, with that in mind, check the cable adjusters on each end (handlebar and throttle body rack) and adjust the slack away. If the faux-choke lever is seized remove the goofy 3/5 manhole cover from the lever by prying it up w/ a flat blade screwdriver and then unscrew the giant slot-head screw. Carefully lift the lever and catch spring and ball underneath.
silicone?...yah, but, it didn't leak did it? I'm wondering if I should use the Guard Dog lube Beemer Boneyard sells on the clutch splines. I have about 13,000 miles since I did the clutch splines on my K1100 LT and it's starting to get difficult downshifting already. I was told to use some cheap grease by the local BMW dealer two years ago, so I did. They were telling me that at the time no one could get any Staburags NBU 30 PTM. Now I find I can order some and it's about $50.00 for the small tube.
No. If it isn't leaking or weeping then leave it alone. Remember, these old K bike transmissions require complete dis-assembly to properly replace the seals. The later 6 speed gear boxes allow external seal replacement saving an incredible amount of time and misery.
hi chris, if the splined input shaft transmission seal is not leaking and you are doing the ~40k mile spline lube, do you recommend replacing the transmission input shaft seal regardless? i do not know the "expected life" of this seal.
Mate! Nice vid, im replacing the clutch disc but the dam thing is stuck.. removed the 6 bolds holding it but the rest is not coming out.. any tips? Tried to do the hammer trick but still no succes. Hope your there! Greetings from the Netherlands
Brandon, Pry the cover off with a small rolling head or lady foot pry bar. The cover needs to be lifted from the pins that if its onto. Look at your new parts and you'll understand. Good luck, Chris.
@@ChrisR.Harris thanks! That worked! It's good you've been filming the whole thing, I'm watching it almost every day since I've started taking it apart hahah! Thank's allot!
