The bike (MT-11) is running rough lately. Took her for a ride today and I could see that it was using the fuel quicker than it could be supplied. When the bike...
Hi Dub, Start with the simple stuff first. Sounds like your bike is overheating. Check the points gap, then ignition timing. Check carbs over. Float levels,...
Forgot to mention - I checked the timing already. Spot on the 'P'... I'm running a Type III EI unit and NGK BP8HS plugs. I 'did' the carbs not too long ago.......
I had a similar problem last year. The bike started running rough, no power, it was running on one cylinder. I could see bubbles in the clear fuel filter...
Certainly sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Check for debris in the tank, replace all fuel lines and filters. Check petcock for debri. Happy Dnepring, the...
The tank has been emptied by me so many times that I'd be literally amazed if there was any debris in there. Same with the petcock. I've just replaced by fuel...

Has anyone done a BMW conversion using the BMW transmission that came with the motor? Seems it would be a lot easier to just adapt the driveshaft with a bit of...

Naw... I've been through the rear end recently too... I had loose wheel bearings that gave me an oil leak at the rubber seal... fixed that - brakes work just...
Mike true you can graft the swingarm pivot from a BMW frame to the Russian frame , the method I suggest saves much fabrication while achieving full conversion...
... trouble ... Ray, I don't understand. The BMW transmission turns in the opposite direction to the Russian transmission. The BMW rear drive has the ring gear...
Mike lowering the complete BMW drive allows you to use the Russian swingarm and it is a straight forward adaption to mount the BMW final drive to the Dnepr...
You have a BMW, right? check the direction the driveshaft spins. I've always read it was backwards from the Russians, Chinese and old BMWs SK ... came with ...
... Ray, the BMW final drive attaches to the BMW swingarm via a flange to flange connection, since the BMW swingarm is a torque tube. The Dnepr swingarm bolts...

Back in 1994 I installed a complete R75/5 drivetrain in an MT10. I made my own swingarm mounts. I also made new engine mounts to mount the engine underneath...
I found a piece of the shifter that was apparently cracked. My Dnepr parts list calls it a "Lock" ;#mt804502. It is an arm that rest on the shifter plate to...

... Steve, I think you will be my Dnepr parts supplier now. You seem to be the only guy with parts. I found a U joint cover, but I need some throwout bearings,...
Be aware that the new clutch throwout bearings and shaft are all slightly different from the older ones, and often the entire assembaly needs to be replaced....
