1966 BMW R-Series

Clear

BIKE CAME DOWN FROM VERMONT AND HAS NO TITLE. WILL ISSUE A BILL OF SALE ..-- BIKE ARRIVED ROTATING ONLY 180 DEGREES-- PULLED LEFT CYLINDER AND THE EXHAUST SEAT WAS IN THE COMBUSTION AREA RESTRICTING ROTATION.. THERE WAS ONLY ONE SCAR ON THE TOP OF THE PISTON MIRRORING THE ONE ON THE CYLINDER HEAD.. TOOK BOTH HEADS TO MACHINE SHOP FOR REPAIR/ VALVE JOB.... ****** IN ORDER TO AVOID DESTROYING THE THREADS ON THE SPIGOTS, I SLICED THE COLLARS TO AID REMOVAL. -- THEY HOLD FINE BUT SHOULD HAVE A SMALL WELD ADDED.... ------ NEEDS A COIL.. STOCK COIL SHOWS A WEAK AND INCONSISTANT SPARK-- *** WOULD NOT START **** , NO REASON TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE TRYING TO START IT WITH A WEAK COIL SO I ADDED A 6 VOLT COIL & BATTERY TO IT AND SHE FIRED RIGHT OFF. -- MOTOR SOUNDS GOOD , CLUTCH AND TRANNY WORKING AS DESIGNED . RODE ABOUT 10 MILES WITH NO ISSUES.. NO SMOKE,,, ALUMINUM RIMS , RUSTY SPOKES, TANK HAS SOME OLD GAS RESIDUE ON THE BOTTOM . GAS TURNED BROWN SO IT MUST BE ERODING.... MUFFLER TIPS ARE BUCO AND CAN BE REMOVED... STORAGE FOR A REASONABLE PERIOD IS FINE...
