    need ignition switch for 1995 K75RT...

    My '95 K75 starts great and runs great...that is, until it shuts down willy-nilly. Shutdown can be 30 seconds after starting up or at speed on the highway. Completely unpredictable. All I have to do to get it re-started is blip the ignition switch off and back on. Easy when in higher...

    Brand new ‘91 K75 (with 87,000 miles on it)

    Hello, I am a new BMW owner, having recently purchased a ‘91 K75 with 87,000miles on the odometer. It seems to run great, far smoother than my previous two bikes. The previous, and second, owner seemed to be rather meticulous about caring for it, but any vehicle needs special attention when the...

    Greetings from NE Nebraska, K75 purchase

    After a year of searching, I finally bought a 1993 K75 with 46K miles. Although it is a "plain" model, it seems to have the "C" type fairing/windshield which I thought BMW had discontinued in about 1990 on the K75. Is this correct? This will be my ride to Prudhoe Bay next spring. Besides doing a...

    1994 K75RT - Rear Brake Master Cylinder Replacement, DONE!

    As is a recurring theme in working on K75s, it was easier than it seemed. First and foremost, BIG thanks to Marshall who generously offered workspace, tools, supplies and above all experience. I pulled in behind without a doubt the most perfect 2002 I've ever seen, and next to a K75S that I...

    She LIVES!

    A friend sold me an 87 K75s with 25000 miles on the clock that he had not been able to start for the last 1 1/2 years for $1200. Nice stock metallic red color, looks like it spent time at high speed on gravel roads by the look of the lower faring. Got it home and in the garage, and a week...

    Help with removing battery from a K75?

    Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I'm trying to remove the battery from my K75. My first time. My Clymer manual says to "insert a long screwdriver into the hole in the top cover and move it forward". I don't see mine sliding forward at all. Then I am to "pull the electrical...

    K75 starting problen

    I have a friend's K75 in my garage for a little TLC. The bike was put up two years ago due to unspecified poor running problems. What I find now is that it is very difficult to start. It misfires and locks up at random when trying to start it when cold. With some patience it can be coaxed to...

    Multivario on K75

    Does anyone know if the Multivario K75 tank bag hit the horn button when turning the bars? Considering that the Multivario was designed for the K75, I'm hopping that they addressed this issue.

    1994 K75 sitting for six years

    I have just been given a 1994 K75 (12k miles) that had been sitting for six years following a low-speed accident that injured the riders far more than the bike. The bike has only a slightly dinged gas tank and lost the right-side turn signals and mirror. The rider, however, was spooked and the...

    1992 K75 Fuel Tank

    Got the classic leaker. Can anyone describe to me the difference between the RT & other K75 tanks, an how this particular model differs from the K100's tank. As I search and find these tanks I note some tanks "from what I'm told by seller" only fit certain models. It surely wouldn't work out to...

    K75 hard luggage/panniers

    I've written to Don and Brian, but haven't heard back, so I am posting to all: You're going to think me really, really stoopid, but... the BMW side cases on my new old K75 (see photo) have handles on them that make me think one can easily take them off their mounts and bring them into the house...

    '86 K75C tank range?

    Howdy. My '86 K75C goes about 100 miles before the low gas warning light comes on. I get about 40 mpg so this means each time I put about 2.5 gallons. The manual states that the tank holds 5.6 gal. Additionally according to the owners manual the light comes on with 1.3 gals left in the tank...
