Hi I have recently bought a R27, the bevel drive is 6/27, the book gives it as 6/25 solo and 5/26 sidecar. Is mine right and what grade of oil goes in the...
andy, i checked my r27 repair manual and found that it said what your's did. the r25,r25/2 repair manual, however, gives the rear end as 6/27 teeth (4.5:1)....
Andy, The R27 had that ratio available, but they're not common (in the US). I believe it was for special versions like police/parades/escorts. If you change...
Andy, The late R27s arrived in the US with the 27/6 (4.50:1 ratio) that you have. Your speedometer (in miles) should be 1,74. The late rear drive set up leaves...
Anyone in the San Diego CA area done an oil slinger cleanout on an R25/26 and would volunteer to help me through my DSK fix in the next month or so? So far I...
I need to know how to clean the slinger too. My r26 has not been on the road since 1968 It is compleat But needs a total restoration. It was stored in a...
The residue in the slingers is a mix of carbon, metals and probably other stuff that packs in very tightly. It's probably better, rather than trying to clean...

Another twist to the R25/3 - DSK A25 story. I just found some information that says the DSK was in fact a license built BMW so it IS an R25/3 after all. Maybe...
Brian, so your saying that BMW sanctioned a copy of their R25/3 and the R50, there was also a DSK50 I believe. Why wouldn't they have just imported the parts....

Hello Brian, What an incredible find! My compliments on your superb photo documentation. Can you share the information about the DSK licensing? Best regards, ...
Well the source isn't definitive but I found a card which must be from a series something like "All the world's motorcycles" for the DSK A25. The information...
Yeah that is a nice story, thanks for filling us in. I guess you could bounce that story of one the guys at BMW historical, like Fred Jakobs. He could...
Brian, I know that Fred Jocobs has a more direct email but I couldn't find it, maybe some other member has it. However, I picked up this address from BMW...
