- BMW, Air Head Boxer, R Series service. 1975 R75/6.
This bike has been off the road for over a year.
THIS IS PART 2 of a series of six videos, they document the service work required to get the bike back on the road.
In this video, Part 2, I will drain and replace the oil from the engine, gearbox, shaft drive & final drive housing. I will show how to remove and refit the engine oil filter, then how to remove the Air filter and petrol pipe assembly.
The other videos will show in detail the following tasks:
IN PART 1: • R75/6 Part 1. BMW, Air...
This video show clips of what’s covered in the other five videos, we will then prepare the bike for the service: Remove the engine crash bar and leg shields. I’ll show you the best way I have found to remove petrol tank. Then we will remove both carburettors.
IN PART 2: See above.
IN PART 3: • R75 6 Part 3. BMW Air ...
How to completely strip, clean, and assemble the Bing carburettors, I will show you every air and petrol way within the carb and how to make sure they are clear. I won’t be using an ultra-sonic cleaner in case you haven’t got one, they are not an essential tool, but they are rather good at cleaning carburettors!
IN PART 4: • R75/6 Part 4. BMW Air ...
How to change the points, set the points gap, then adjust and set the ignition timing.
IN PART 5: • R75/6 Part 5. BMW Buil...
How to cut and build a new petrol pipe assembly. How to fit a new air filter. How to assemble the carburettors to the engine, connect their cables, and adjust float height in the float chamber.
IN PART 6: • R75/6 Part 6. BMW, Air...
How to set the Bing carburettors to their basic settings, then tune and balance both carburettors as the engine is running. Last of all it’s a road test.
This video is so straightforward and clear, and this man has such an easy and gentle way of explaining that inspires confidence. He puts all other instructional videos on the topic to shame. I have the same r75/6, and after watching this video just once I could perform the entire procedure on my own from memory. Well done sir.
Hello to you.
Thank you for your kind words in your comment. I’m so glad you found the video helpful.
It’s always good to get feedback, and even better if it’s nice feedback.
It’s coming up to service time again, do you have any suggestions as to jobs on the bike you would like explained?
Take Care Jim
@@CYC123 Thanks for the reply. I really want to change my brake fluids and bleed, but I'm nervous about that one. That's one that I have always had someone else do. I think if I saw it done on a bike my age (1976 r75/6) I would have more confidence. A lot of the videos on bleeding brakes are modern bikes and many using special tools to make the job easier.
@@obeythezippy Hello, sorry for the delay in replying to your comment. Bleeding brakes, a fairly easy procedure if you have performed it before. As it happens it’s time to change the brake fluid in my front brake. I will video the process and publish. Unfortunately not sure when I can get to it, I’m quite busy at the moment. Keep an eye on the channel. Take care Jim.
Nicely executed! I bought a 1975 R75/6 that was in multiple pieces ive gone thru everything using the manual but this video is the cats meow! now I actually understand what needs to be done to get the petrol line replaced.
Hello Deep blu dude. I’m so glad you found the video of use. It’s always good news to hear another old BMW is hitting the road. I hope you have many miles of trouble free riding. Thank you for your comment. Take care Jim
Thanks. Very helpful. I was just about to change my fuel lines after replacing the oil & air filters. I didn't realize it wouldn't be symmetrical. Can't believe you don't have more views!
Hello to you and thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you found my video helpful, please tell all your friends about my channel perhaps more will join!
a very well presented video......
Hello Timothy. Thank you for your comment. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video.
Do you have suggestions on other videos I can make concerning the R75/6?
What an amazing and thorough video, thank you kind sir! I will follow along for my R100/7 :)
Hello shadollzzsha2562. Thank you for your comment and kind words. I'm so glad you found my videos of use.
Take Care Jim
Congrats for these :)
Hello Gonçalo. I am glad you found the videos useful. Thank you for your comment. Take Care Jim
@@CYC123 useful, clear and with tips from an expert. Wish I found them before 😉
Hello Gonçalo. Thank you for your kind words, which bike do you have? Take Care Jim.
Jim, greetings from Arizona. I can't thank you enough. Video 2 answered my questions in great detail. My daughter in law inherited a 1975 R75/6. Her Dad bought it new ,and treated it like the crown jewls! I'm helping her out (a huge thrill an old Harley guy). You're help was paramount!
Hello Buster
Arizona is a long way from my little workshop at the bottom of a Bedfordshire garden.
I'm so glad you found the videos helpful. Receiving comments makes it all worth wile.
You have a grate bike, its worth looking after.
Take care
Jim
Drive shaft oil is 100cc for shortwheel base models then 150cc for longer whee base models
Hello Christopher
Thank you for the comment, I don't think we have a long wheel based version in the UK, I will have to do some research.
Makes sense though to have more oil if the shaft is longer. I'll probably keep 150cc in my shaft, it been that way for so long now it may miss it if I change!
Take care Jim
@@CYC123 you can normally spot a long wheel base version they came out in 1973 , you will see a 50mm [2 inch] extension on your swingarm you can see the welds

Hello Christopher
You pricked my interest, did some research and found this: w6rec.com/is-your-5-bmw-motorcycle-a-short-wheel-base-swb-or-long-wheel-baselwb/
When BMW came out with the /5 series in 1970, the bike had some stability problems In the middle of 1973 production, BMW started using a longer swingarm to get more wheelbase and, therefore, more stability. It worked. The result of the longer swingarm is a BMW motorcycle that is far more stable. One could load it up with more junk and still not wobble. The price paid is much slower handling. The SWB is better for solo sports riding. The LWB is better for two-up touring with luggage. It is certainly possible for the LWB to wobble, but is less likely.
Thank you Chris, I now know a little more than I did yesterday
Really enjoying your vids thanks very much
Hello Christopher
I hope the videos help with your servicing.
Jim
