Hi Guys Does anybody have any experience of balancing the R26 engine? My research so far suggests a 50% figure for balancing the reciprocating weight. Has ...
Brian, Way back in Sept 2005 Garnet Grylls went through the process of balancing his r26 crank shaft. He directed his question to the guys on the Einzylinder...

Dear Friends, My wife and I are off to The Nederlands in mid-April. Unfortunately, a ticket for my '65 R27 was a bit too expensive. Although we are booked on...
Hi Ben Thanks for the link, very useful. It seems that 55% is the suggested figure but will do some further research, maybe Garnet will update us? I was not...
Ahh, the Netherlands on a mono - it's where I bought my 1956 R26 and Hollandia sidecar in 1970. Had a great 4 months cruising around the continent before...
Hi Jack, My family and I went to the Netherlands last summer and had a great time. One of the highlights was the stop in Westerhoven to see Willy Neutkens ...
hallo Brian, as discussed at the "einzylinder" Board: the r 26 would vibrate if you have an old 120° Crankshaft with a steel (instead of the original alloy)...
Maiden voyage of the R26 ...Ice, slush, mud, cold...Didn't go too well. Didn't want to stay running, wouldn't shift right, hard to re-start. Ran great in the...
Hello Ethan, The information is in the shop manual, available from several distributors, dealers and on ebay. The air bleeder screw is supposed to have a lock...
Brian you might have interest reading the second part of the following text from Mark Hugget : Re: R26 piston rod and rear light Posted by: Mark Huggett (IP...
Ethan, If you set the ignition timing statically it should be 7deg BTDC. The points gap should be 0.4mm. Even after getting a timing light to the machine your...
Thanks Ben - I'll try the timing for starters. The shift problem seems more like an internal thing as it just doesn't go into any gear sometimes. I hit the ...
Ethan, The clutch disc could be the culprit for hard shifting. This means that, though the disc releases when the lever is operated, it does not release ...
Thanks Norman - I think you have hit the nail on the head. The clutch was stuck to the pressure plate when I first got the bike running. It let go after some ...
Gentlemen, Might any of you have a spare throttle top casting (cap) and gear/cam chain for an R26? I thought I could get away with a reproduction gear/cam, but...
... The "truer" is just hitting the rim with a hammer. I don't see how this can take the place of turning the nipples to bring the rim in and out or to one...
Hi Allan, I watched the video several times. Unfortunately it isn't very clear what he is striking with his hammer. He is backing the rim with a dolly of some ...
Hello All - After doing some reading it sounded very much like the condenser was bad. I know this is not common - but all things pointed to it. I changed the...
I don't mean to sound too contradictory, but he was turning spokes, and I assume he is using the hammer to fix dings, but it's not a super clear movie. If I...
I assumed (trying not to be too negative) that he was using the hammer to take out any "un-seatedness" of the nipples to the rim. I agree ANton, that if it...
You know, that makes a lot of sense, it looks more like he is hitting the spokes sidewys, rather than the edge of the rim, though again it is hard to tell. I...
Ethan, Read the following document, you will know more than you need about /2 timing. http://www.snafu.org/restore/uandm_bmw_v1.pdf T ... From: ecook49...
Anton, The chap doing the talking in the video is not visible. The chap working is not saying anything, other than whacking at the rim. The conversation is...
Hi I'm new to the group and would like to make contact with any owners of 1930's BMW bikes and R2 in particular. I am restoring a 1934 R2 series 3, and need...
Hi Andy, I stated my R 35 (1939) had a lot of special threads, too. Most of them are, for instance, M8 x 1 mm (standard pitch is M8 x 1,25 mm). This is a fine...
Hi Welcome to the group. I am restoring a 1958 R27 so probably can't help you with your bike. Regard to the metric thread issue all I know is that in my 1924 ...
