Hi All -
As I begin to address the long list of work that needs to be done to my recently purchased ‘81 R65, I realized that I failed to think about both the charging system and ignition. My last airhead (and all 3 of my previous airheads) were all ‘70s models of 247 engine vintage. This is my first 248/1.
Two questions-
1) Is the Bosch electronic ignition on this model the same bean can used on 247 models of similar vintage? Any difference’s
2) Is the charging system as marginal as that on ‘70s 247 models? I recall my ‘73 R75/6 being borderline for daily use.
Thanks for any feedback!
Tom
