Watch your pronouns. Are you saying that the spacer cannot be trapped
between the impeller and the shaft? If so, that's simply not true.
Bolt flange, impeller, spacer, shaft, all held together as a solid unit
by the bolt torque. The inner part of the seal simply rides on the shaft
and its position can vary depending on how you assemble things.
If you mean that the spacer takes up all of the space between the
impeller and the inner part of the seal, that's not true either. The new
spacer is too short to even reach the seal when everything's assembled.
> They are now on the third variant?
The assembly hasn't changed since 2002 but the seal that is being sold
now is not the same as in the picture. I don't think there is a
functional difference.

Actually, I have the entire FAQ mirrored, because one doesn't want to
have one's bike in pieces and lose access to the tutorial because one's
internet connection flaked out, and because (ironically) sometimes pages
go away. Unfortunately, this one has apparently been dead since the
last time I updated the mirror, and I didn't realize it. Guess it's
time to use some form of version control for my local archive so I
don't splat good documents with bad. :)

Point taken. I do know I can get things waffled at times.
Are you saying that the spacer cannot be trapped
> between the impeller and the shaft? If so, that's simply not true.
I went down and grabbed the spare water oil pum and pulled off the
impeller to see. I stand corrected. The spacer has an internal
shoulder that traps it on the nose of the shaft.

I see that. And with water seals version two, you don't require the
spacer to be holding the seal rotating element perpendular to and
against the non-rotationg seal element.

Sounds like the spacers are "standard items" and they designed the
pump with the first seal so that the spacer supported the moving
element. When they went to the water pump seal II, the next standard
spacer is "short" but the seal does not require the support. The
moving element is supported by the shaft and blue goo.

Hmmm... Have to look closely and take some pics this fall when the
pump is changed out.
Going back to the original point, at least with water pump seal II,
the new "short" spacer, will depress the moving part enough that it
clears the stationary part and still seals, even with with less than
the "new installatoin" tool depression.
Have to see with the water pump seal III.

Ok, this is irritating. The inner diameter of the C bar that I just
received (new) is 16mm. The old S bar is 18mm. The new one will not
receive the original bar-end weights, nor a new set of bar-end weights
which I tried, nor the Napoleon bar-end mirrors.
The design of the mirror mounts is such that I could make them fit by
whacking away at some of the rubber, but the bar-ends have a fixed
diameter in addition to the rubber compression fitting, so they're
hopeless.
Why? (That's rhetorical.) Anyone else experienced this? None of the
articles I've seen on C bar conversions expressed this difficulty.

There's no reason why dumping the bike should damage the ABS unit
itself. I have heard cases where a persistent fault is set by a wheel
speed mismatch (from the sort of event you describe) but it is resettable.
Try resetting the ABS yourself per the instructions on this page:

The ABS self-tests every 10 or 20 minutes, but waits until you stop or
nearly stop. If it has already faulted, it will not try to reset; that
only happens when you power down. If the lights are alternating as soon
as you turn the key on, it's not a voltage issue.
Check out the info here and see if you can learn anything else about the
problem:

I think the actual term for those is 'junk.' I have broken both of them
on both of my K75RTs, and the replacements are beefed up in the area
that broke.

GACK! I *hate* intermittent problems!!
When my K75 did that, the culprit turned out to be the ignition switch. I tried taking it apart and repairing it, but the plastic bits were too brittle and they broke, so I wound up replacing it.
You might try wiggling or gently bending the key with the ignition on to see if you can get the symptoms to show themselves; if they will, that would be a more definitive diagnosis . . . .
Good luck!

I thought that number rang a bell and I was right; it's the R100R shock
just like the one sitting on my workbench. That's actually the BMW part

Flailing. I am guessing you have never checked what each fuse does.

A sign. Considering the clock is powered continuously via fuse 3
something else is going on.

You think.

You need fuel air spark. Air can be assumed if you breath. Need to
find out what you are loosing. I have seen no logical checking. I am
reading flailing.
I would say it is obviously electrical. If you don't know how to read
a wiring diagram and do some testing of the electrical system, you
have real poblems.
Me I would find where I am loosing power. Then fix that.
Or you can throw a lot of time and money at changing different stuff
out, and see if you flail your way to success or apparent success,
until the real cause fails again.
Although I have heard that changing the air in the tires, has been
reported fix bikes now and then.

Or it might just be time to clean and re-seat all the electrical
connections on the bike with dielectric grease, as well as switchgear
that might be related (such as the ignition switch, as Don says). That
has to be done anyway -- if it's not the cause this time, it will be
eventually.
So ... if it was me, I'd first do the deferred known maintenance items
that might be related; that time is never wasted (and therefore isn't
flailing). Then, if it still has a problem, troubleshooting will be
more productive.

Really? I only have 300K+ miles on 5 K75s and I have NEVER done any
"prophylactic" connector reseating and dielectric "does not conduct"
grease goes no where near the connectors.

That depends. Some roads have high speed toll taking. Some don't. I
have not see a high speed setup here. In fact, they want you going
either 15 or 5 mph through them.
The "combo" "cash or EZ-Pass" lanes give me the willies. Being a

Last year I had a similar problem - intermittend stalling of engine with
re-starting after a short waiting time - with my 1982 R65. This went on for
month which reduced the use of the bike to trips 'around the corner'
It was Oak who pointed out the mistake I made when following the
instructions of the BMW workshop Manual 01 57 9 798 467 on synchronizing the
carbs....increase engine speed slightly and check of each cylinder by
pulling off spark plug connections separately... AN ABSOLUTE NO-NO WITH A
HALL SENSOR IGNITION...
Replacement - in this chronological order - of Ignition Lock, Control Unit
(black box) and double coil still did not cure the problem, only after the
Hall Sensor was replaced was she running again reliably and still is 5K
later.

Yes, kids, I had a very ugly "teaching moment" today involving brake
fluid and, um, well, most of the front right side of the bike.
First, I'll cut right to the pertinent question: is a coolant hose
likely to be weakened by constant contact with brake fluid? A nontrivial
amount of brake fluid wicked into the tight space along the fat coolant
hose where it passes downward thru the front right corner of the engine
block. I can't clean it without draining the coolant and removing the
hose, which I'd like to not do just now.

Surprisingly, the paint is mostly fine. I rinsed the bike last night
before I went to bed. This afternoon, I worked it over with Meguiar's,
and it's like it never happened. Well, except for a couple of tiny bits
of spotting in the clearcoat where splashing occurred in areas I didn't
think to look, but they're far less noticable than some other defects
which already existed. It may be that the excessively-heavy coat of wax
which I applied a month or so ago helped save my butt.
So ... I'll replace the $15 coolant hose (thanks for the good info,
Steve), and all will be well.
I guess I'm a lucky dumbass. :)

Yeah, my first thought upon reading that was WATER!! Just
dilute/neutralize it. Throw a potful on it, nail it with a hose. The
rest of the stuff in the garage will dry out sooner or later.
BMW actually specifies that technicians should wash the bike after
performing brake service. That said, BMW's clearcoat is VERY durable,
even when hit with brake fluid. The older and more oxidized the paint,
the more the fluid stain will show. I have often rinsed brake fluid away
with no consequences at all. Brake fluid definitely does NOT eat BMW
paint away like some people think.

It's normal for them to unload that way when turning over by hand. You
can get an improvement by installing the updated left-side tensioner
(which doesn't bleed down after you shut the engine off) but there is no
upgrade for the right side. Not a problem.

Did you resolve this? Sounds very much like a bad coil, although
several flaky electric/electronic components can cause this. No matter
what anyone says, reseating (and possibly cleaning) the connectors is a
good thing to try. Has worked for me and others.

Sure it's seized? It was tightened with about 160 Nm torque. I always
warm the aluminum even on bikes where thread locker wasn't used. But I
have seen them seize; I removed one once and all of the threads came out
of the transmission case. :(
There are steel pins for the older bikes but I haven't checked to see if
they are dimensionally compatible.

It's a regular bleed screw like you have on the brakes. 10x1mm, 11mm
wrench. BMW part 34 21 2 330 310. $7.40 retail last time I priced them.

I got by with the original S front brake hose after my C bar conversion,
but the range of reservoir positions in which it will be safe is pretty
small. It's ok for now, but I'd like to replace it with a longer hose
soon. It doesn't appear that the OEM part is in the country, and it's
very expensive.
An alternative would be an aftermarket hose. I've found Spiegler, after
hearing them mentioned by Ride West. They also mentioned Proformance,
but I've not had any luck scaring up brake parts by that name. Are
there other suggestions for vendors for a brake line?

When it quits running, the start button makes the fuel pump run, but the
lights do not shut off, and the starter will not crank. It has been sitting
in the yard for a couple of days, and today I moved it to mow. I took it
out a couple of blocks and it quit. Now it seems to me that the battery is
very low. We had the battery out and tested it for voltage, load, and
useing a midtonic tester and everything tested like new. it is a two year
old non-maintenance free acid type. My question would be are there any
trouble with the alternators that are common? It has very low miles,
(8,000).

Ummm... The HES connectors ARE plated, and thin plated. Emory cloth
WILL take off the plating to the more corrodible material underneath.
A REAL BAD idea particulary on those connectors.
They don't plate connectors for nothing.

IMO, you GOT to see what is going missing. Or replace parts until
whatever is causing something to go missing, is replaced.

Washing to reduce hygroscopicity - did you use water for that? :)

See what happens when you look at stuff "upside down". It makes more
sense right side up...
"Hygroscopicity" means it attracts water, not that it is water... And
I am not "done" until it has "dried"...
That extra bit of darkness help????

Subject: [BMWTech] 1985 K100RS won't start
After buying an airhead I have not used my K100 much
while getting the airhead in shape. When last used it
was running perfectly.
After a month I decided to take a spin. Wouldn't
start. Battery strong, cranks well - but no start.
I'm a fair wrench but new to the K100.
Where to look first? can't believe its serious as it
ran well when last used.
Should you be able to hear the fuel pump after
switching the ignition on ??
Thanks for any help

I know what it means, just seemed funny - the irony is that with brake fluid
there and NO washing with water the bleed nipples are MORE likely to rust.
Wash with water to remove that which seeks and holds water and there will be
no rust.
Sounds like a politician's rationale as to why he should pay himself more...

No.
You should hear it after releasing the start button.
Try removing the FI brain and reseating it.
After that, it is checking for fuel spark air. Fuel you likely have
if you have the FP running. Spark is standard check.
The question is too open ended. The full list would take DAYS and
PAGES literally.
Checking in the K-Tech FAQs might give you some hints.
HTH.

Subject: [BMWTech] Two stupid questions, I guess.
I just did my FIRST long trip on my RT 1100 ('98, 25 k miles) with some
fellas. Mexico City --> Zihuatanejo, the hard way: mountains, curves,
donkeys, dogs, rocks on the road, rain, fog... you mention it! What a
marvellous experience. 8 hours on the saddle, non-stop, not even for
brunch, just refuelling!
One day on the beach, fine.
Next day, back home, same way.
Now, two points:
1.- I'm an amateur in long trips, that's clear. After arriving to
Zihuatanejo, my compagnions told me: "You don't drive well." I was
shocked. "How's that?", I answered. "You go too fast, and in the begining
of the curve, you brake. You have to do "counterwheeling"." I said: "OK.
But what's that?" They said: "In a curve to the left, for example, you
MUST push a little bit the handle, or wheel, TO THE RIGHT, so the bike
"leans" more, you don't have to brake and, obviously, you go faster. As
the rubber touches the floor, no problem, the bike will lean more and
more, you won't fall. Don't worry." I thought: "Those guys must be crazy.
That's not logical. The wheel to the other side? But let's make a try." I
did. It works! First, I was afraid, of course, but then, gaining
confidence, I was taking curves without brake, and much faster, of course.
And then, I was enthousiastic about it... I was following the guys quite
well... I assume you must have experienced that weird sensation like some
soft drug... taking curves with exact timing, exact "counterwheeling",
exact throttle at the end. That was exciting. I'm I, and my fellas, just
Mexican suicidal and crazy men or what? We did 400 miles non-stop, 8
hours, and I can assure you, with very difficult roads and weather
conditions, as I told. And thinking about it, I very well remember those
guys in motocross bikes who do exactly that, but much more because the
lack of adherence in dust and mud. All comments very welcome. Don't be
afraid to tell me we are crazy.
2.- My rear Michelin (160/60 ZR18) had half life. Back to Mexico City, the
tire was dead! I could see the "cords" (Cords, OK?) on the left side. I
had a very hard time founding a tire like that in Mexico City because R18
is unusual. (Didn't know that). Fortunatly, I found a Metzeler. Fine. Now,
the "stupid" question: why do bike tires "live" so little? And why so
expensive, I mean, the "good" ones? I know, it depends on speed and road
conditions, all right. But no bike tire will last more than 6, 8 K miles,
right? Why are they so special? A regular car tire will last 35 000 miles.
A good one, more. Why the difference? I understand car tires are "flat",
because there are 4 of them. Bike's one are "curved", because only two of
them to take curves. But I still don't understand the huge difference
between them. I also know "rubber composition" is important: soft,
half-soft, hard... But still don't get it. And why Metzeler is "top
recommended" as an exclusive BMW tire?
And please, do accept my apologies for:
-more then "two stupid questions";
-my poor English writing and lack of technical knowledge. (Just trying to
lear, you know.)
Juan Jacob.

I have often wondered that myself. It's as if the tire manufacturers
make
the tires wear quicker to sell more tires. The better handling a mc
tire is
the shorter the life of the tire. They could do better IMHO.
> But still don't get it. And why Metzeler is "top recommended" as an

Another good question. My guess is "cost" - BMW gets satisfactory
performance with
Metzeler for less expense than Michelin. YMMV.

Your English is Way better than my Spanish - I learned "Peligro" in
Panama.

Unplugging them and reconnecting them (a few times, if they're really
bad) is usually sufficient.
Most decent switches and connectors are "self-cleaning", which is to say
they slide into position, thus scraping off crud to some degree. An
exception is Alpha Delta's UHF coax switches, which I wouldn't use again
if someone paid me to do so. :( But I digress.
This is why dielectric grease, counterintuitive though it may be, works.
It gets pushed out of the way where necessary, while protecting the
surrounding surfaces -- which are not mating at the moment, but might be
in the future if the connector gets jostled or shifted -- from
corrosion. A connection which is gappy enough for dielectric grease to
interfere was a poor connection to begin with.
I wouldn't personally use abrasives except as a last resort in a pinch.
Besides the plating which Brian mentions, which is sometimes present,
any additional pitting that you introduce will just trap more
contaminants and provide more surface area for potential corrosion.
Just my meager experience. As always, YMMV.

Oh, forgot -- the first time I did this on my bike, I used compressed
air in the connectors, too. The P.O. did a lot of treks in the
California desert, and there was orange dust in every cranny of the
bike. :)

However, that same grease will also trap every bit of dirt that comes
around it. And dirt in the connection is not a good thing at all.
That trapped dirt will NOT be blown out using compressed air as David
notes he did later.
Potentially worse, is if water enters the connection. Now it stays
there enhancing corrosion. :(:(
It is not an unalloyed "good".
It does cost money that can affect manufacturing decisions, but it
ain't there to begin with. Maybe for a reason.

Just for curiosity; WUDO, a German BMW dealer / workshop recommends
Bridgestone over Metzeler. I tried both and Michelin on a 1982 R65 and found
no difference with either of them.
