Hi Daniel, For the two last pics, I can ensure you it IS a R 24 tank, as you posted pics of my own R 24... :-) More on this on request, I have other pics of...
hello, can anyone help me by identifying what caused a yellowish deposit on the exhaust valve of my r25/3? could it be too rich or too lean? i have posted a...
I'm restoring an R26 which came as a basket case. So far I have made good progress, but I have just had a look at the engine mountings as I rebuild the...
Hi Brian, There are, but when I assemble the bits in that order, there are gaps all over the place. Frank eBolt <bprice@...> wrote: Hi Frank I think...
Yes Kim, Stemler has a less cluttered view of the mounting points. One part that is sometimes left out on the upper mounts is the washer between the rubber and...
Ben, I feel that I am getting nearer to it through your comment! The exploded diagrams don't show what goes precisely where. I need somebody to spell it out!...
Frank, Ben is right. Most folks don't know where those washers go. Without them, or placing them outside the sleeves, the rubber mounts won't be doing their...
Richard, Thanks for that. I had assembled the rubber bushing with steel sleeves in the manner you describe, pushed into the cups on the frame. When I offered...
Hello Frank, The upper or forward engine mounts require washers that are 2mm thick. If you have more than 2mm gap on either side without the washers, you might...
Thanks Richard, I was beginning to worry about the frame, and what you say confirms that I need to get it checked out. I live in South Yorkshire, UK. Frank ...
anton, thank you for your reply. i've never seen or heard of anything like it. have cleaned it up and will see what it looks like next time i open it up. ...
Yeah, I am kinda geussing, but mostly yellow has, in my experience, been gas deposits. Use fresh gas when you run it, maybe it won't come back. Anton...
Frank, Glad you brought this up. I checked my R26 and found out the guy that 'restored' it three owners ago put rubber washers to take up the gap. I put two...
I'm assuming that the r26 mounts are the same as the r25, so if the front mount is set up correctly, when tightening up the bolt, either end of the bolt should...
Thanks Ben. That makes sense. I think that the basis of my problem is that the frame is out of line. I'm going to ask my local repair shop if they can check...
Hi Ben, Frank, The R26 and R25/3 engine mounting systems are the same. The upper bolt should not touch the frame, and the lower stud should not touch the...
Frank, I forwarded your request to Vern Fueston of GT Enterprises. I believe Vern might have the specs for an R26 frame. I mentioned that you live in the UK. ...
Hello Frank, Thank you for your kind words. If you do not get a reply from Vern, please give me a 'heads up'. I will gladly make measurements on a known...
Thanks Richard. I can only work in that system! The clock stopped for me in about 1957. Frank richard sheckler <rishelaverne@...> wrote: Hello Frank, ...
Kim, I too ran out and checked my R26 engine mounts. Looks like the guy who put the bottom end of the engine in my frame when I bought it did the same as your...
Gentlemen, When looking at the assembled bike, the upper and lower mounts will appear to have thick rubber washers in place between the frame and engine. This...
Richard, Excellent stuff! I was somewhat taken aback to find myself reading a description of myself - " collecting stamps, old BMW motorcycles and writing...
Hi all, I have a rather overwhelming pile of R25/2 & R25/3 bits that I affectionally refer to as my plunger single project...anyway, I have a transmission that...
Hi Rich, Those transmissions are rather straight forward and very close to the Earles twin transmission. Both Guenther and Vech rebuild them. If you are caught...
Well, at the risk of incurring the rath of the list manager. Bonjour Richard! You have explained some rather strange urges which have I have felt bubble up in...
