I will double check that as I looked at it and didn't see anything obvious, but will check again while the bike is apart. I have read on Snowbum's site about the transistor in the starter relay that can cause problems usually in cold temps or low battery issues. I am not sure if it is an original relay or not, but will get some numbers off it and see what I can find out.
Update:
I looked at a picture on Brook's Airhead Garage where he was rebuilding a 1973 /5, shown on item 61 of the project list.
(BMW 1973 R75/5 Install Electrical System).
I tried to copy a picture but couldn't. The relay he put on is identical to mine, with same numbers, although his is a bit shinier. Mine looks fairly new and the wiring harness and connections are fairly new, or at least look that way.
