Starting my 1987 K75S without the valve cover installed to look at the cams spinning. It starts better now that I put new plugs in it.

  • I didn't want to run it too long without proper lubrication. I had it in 5th gear to measure the valve clearances, and forgot to put it in neutral for starting. I'm going to try the coin trick tomorrow.

  • It starts better now that I put new plugs in it.

  • I left it in 5th gear.

  • The oil just sort of squirts out a little. I'd estimate it squirts out at a rate of 2 ounces per minute. Most of the squirting comes from the timing chain area.

  • Holla! Have you thought about - fast abs magic (just google it)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my GF got hot 6 pack abs and lost crazy amounts of fat with it.

  • Hopefully 4 years ago, the "coin trick" worked. fuckin youtube.

  • Nice motor design that gets oil to the head possibly quicker than the transverse inlines. But still, it was very scary !

  • Its a great bike! I like the BMWs :-)

  • I love BMW bikes, so smooth and they run on forever so long as you look after them. nice bike dude :)

  • K75 is smoother because the engine has a balancer shaft fitted, instead of the final cylinder of the K100.

    4 Cylinder K-bikes buzz bad enough to shake loose bits off

  • why don't you put your spline lube videos up on YouTube I'd really like to see them

  • Very cool! I have a '92 k75s with 58K miles on it. I made a bunch of repair videos of the spline lube and throttle body boot replacement and timing chain etc.

    Be careful about not running with the valve cover off because there is a spring under the valve cover which provides a ground for the Hall effect sensor in front under the timing chain cover and it can burn out if the spring is missing or the valve cover is off when run.

  • If you are testing it, not a good idea to start up in gear!!
