I have had a regulator to fail this way. Same exact symptoms. I had to hold the armature down manually to "flash "it to make it charge at the correct...
Is there any source of information that explains the cause of this? On my R27 I have this occasionally, but only when the surge load is rather high, i.e....

The commutator may still be at fault, When some sections or all sections become loose, centrifugal force will cause the carbon pickups to loose contact. Ken...
I have having trouble with oil leaking from the cylinder base gasket of my R27. The engine was rebuilt 4000 miles ago. At 3500 miles a stream of oil began to...
I will ask Lap next week about sealers. I know that he uses a very thin layer of the gray silicone (or black) on all of the base gaskets. The Airheads list...
Many years ago I had a similar leak develop at the base of the cylinder barrel. After several attempts to fix it by replacing the gasket, I discovered a...

Are you sure you don't have too much oil in the crankcase? Sounds too simplistic, but remember the oil level is checked without screwing the dip stick in. Ken...

You're right about a little extra oil not being a problem but a lot of extra oil has to have some place to go. Are you sure you are using the correct ...

Hi, I've been following the discussion and the obvious avenues were being described by others. Here is an alternative I experienced a number of years ago: I...
Hello BMW-freaks, Unfortunately and coincidently, there must be something in the air over the R27's, I have been out on my R27 last friday, the bike/engine...
I don't know what happened to your motor, but I own a R-60/2 which once had a problem that I had never seen before. The cylinder itself had a crack in it just...

While you are probably right about all singles having the same dipstick and that oil level is really not an issue since you put on 3000 miles with no leaks,...

after the recent discussion about dipsticks and oil capacities, is a quart the old imperial measurement of 2 pints?would it not be simpler and more accurate to...
David, An American quart is not the same as two imperial pints. An american quart is 32 fluid ounces. An imperial pint is 20 fluid ounces. Of course it would...
Hello Allan I'm not sure if this is applicable in your case, however, there is a wrong and a right side to the gasket. Most gaskets have a very thin film of...
