    1978 R80/7 What is my ignition? What charging system should I get (or keep)?

    Where I need help is what my bike has in terms of an ignition system, and what people recommend. I've read reports and forums posts for a few hours now, but I'm confused because my bike is a 1978 R80/7 but the previous owner added an electronic ignition in the 1990s. I think I want a clean slate...

Reading the forum, you would think no one else made a battery that will work with our bikes. They are...

    R1200GS Electrical Issue

    Hi, I live in Ukiah, CA and it was around a 104 degrees the other day so I dicided to take my 10 year old son out for a ride through the redwoods to the coast to cool off. About an hour into the ride and 3 miles from the nearest town, the bike sputtered a little and suddenly died. The starter...

    Battery

    I had an interesting experience with a battery yesterday / today that is worth describing. The bike happened to be an F650 Dakar but that wasn't critical or even very important to the story. Yesterday I rode the bike 53 miles into Alpine, made 4 stops in town, and then rode home, dropped some...
