1979 BMW R-Series

Clear

Oil pressure is dropping and it smokes. I stopped riding it 5 years ago to prevent destruction. My BMW guy says the oil pressure should come back upon replacing the big end bearings on the connecting rods. When going into the motor that far you might as well replace the piston rings and have the heads redone. I have a guy in Spokane WA that can do the heads for the buyer if you need a recommendation. The odometer is broken; I believe the bike has about 50,000 miles on it. I always intended to rebuild it myself, but I'll never have the money and I'm getting too old to do it. It used to do 110 mph about 13000 miles ago, It's top speed now is probably 90 mph. I hope the buyer rebuilds it. If he parts it out and sells pieces for profit I don't want to know. Always stored inside. Has new fork seals installed and new fork boots. Always ran synthetic oil in motor, transmission, shaft unit, and final drive! No reserve! Saddle bags and mounting frame not included! "Good by R65, and good luck. Now don't get like that; your new owner will fix your problems and you'll run free again. He won't dissect you, take you apart like some mercenary cannibal out to make a profit. You want me to turn you over, yeah, you like that. Everything is going to be alright."
