    1985 K100RS sticking starter!

    Hi all, Went out to start my 1985 K100RS and the bike didn't catch immediately, not unusual when cold, but the starter did not disengage, kept chugging away. I turned the switch behind the starter button to off and it still was chugging. Turned the key off and it still was chugging away...

    How to test the starter relay (also, is this even the right relay?)

    We're on a road trip on a 1973 R75/5 LWB and we rode in heavy rain yesterday. After I turned off the bike it wouldn't start again. Nothing happens when I push the starter but I can kick start the bike. I let it dry over night and same issue. There's no sound at all (no solenoid clicking) and the...

    Removing starter relay on /7

    I'm trying to remove the starter relay on my 1977 RS. It sits on a bracket pressed up against the frame and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it off. There must be something obvious that I'm missing so input would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob Unger

    Think it might be starter relay. How to bypass relay and use solenoid directly? If I'm persistent I can sometimes start up with kick pedal. Thanks for any help, Tom Carter

    Need starter relay for '73 R75/5

    Can anyone point me to an alternate source for a starter relay for this old airhead I just picked up? MAX BMW tells me they are backordered until sometime next summer. Thanks.

    Starter not turning....

    Hi Folks, Pressed the starter button today (after turning the key) and not so much as a solenoid click. Charged the battery (2 years old). Valeo starter installed 5+ years ago. Did a rudimentary check for pinched, cut, and grounded wires and found nothing. The horn and lights work. Measured...

    Starter stuck on

    I started my 1990 K75RT and the starter would not stop. I shut off the kill switch and ignition. I could not get it to stop until I disconnected the battery. Any ideas?
