Well, on my ride to a sports bar to watch Nebraska get pummeled again a few weeks ago, the 1988 K75C sputtered and died and I coasted over to the side of the road, seeing it as a portent for how NU would perform. After several minutes I started it and arrived at the bar in time to see NU pummeled. Upon leaving, she wouldn't start and I ran the battery down quite far. Turned over but wouldn't fire. I had a buddy bring his truck out and hauled it back into the garage, where it sits. I haven't looked at it since. It has 174K original miles and I just don't want to put much money into it as it isn't worth much. I got a lot of comments at the BMW rally in SLC though as I just didn't see many C models and none as original or in white as this one. Anyway, scouring for information leads me to Hall Effect Sensor. Of course I want to start simple first and want to look at the fuses. I changed fuel filter two years ago and maintain it mostly myself, though I am no mechanic. The local BMW mechanic was not very enthused about putting time into such an old bike, and I understand. My first check will be the the fuses. What should my second, third, and forth checks be? If it is a Hall sensor, that would probably not be worth repairing. If I can't cheaply repair it, I may just keep it as an objet de arte.
Thank you.
