I wanted to post to seek some guidance on how to approach the "restoration" of my first BMW. I'm not seeking to do a complete tear down but rather to get the most bang for my limited time/dollar with the ultimate goal being reliability.
The bike is a 1975 R-90/6 w/63k miles and the information I received on upkeep etc was limited. It runs and sounds good, but the carbs are leaky monsters and I'd suspect there is a lot of routine maintenance that did not occur. What are the most vital tune-up/mechanical issues to address first, or put another way- what is a good sequence of improvements? Thanks for any advice.
