Hi everyone, new member here.
I normally ride R NineT but was looking to work on a project and couldn't pass on a seemingly great deal and got myself BMW K75S 1988 as pictured:
Bike was sitting for 6 years and owner doesn't know the history, no keys, no battery, no documents (bike was abandoned by it's owner and sold by the property owner).
I was able to turn it on recently, after replacing alternator that was shorted to ground and did a regular maintenance (oil, spark plugs, lubed final drive spline, put a new tires, etc).
I haven't able to find a cause of particular issues with the engine yet, and there are two so far:
1. engine halts if I try to throttle fast enough
2. sometimes there's banging noise in the engine that concerns me, not sure if this is a problem or not
I made a video that demonstrates those issues and if someone have ideas,
I'd be grateful
.
Regards and keep the rubber down everyone!
