- A short video, just to remind me to get it out and ride it after hopefully sorting it's carburetor problem.
When on the side stand the carb would leak fuel. After several attempts to adjust float height I hope I have fixed it, fingers crossed.
Pipes sound good. I had a 77, 82 and still have a perfect 88 with 170k miles on it. Keep it. One of the few bikes that will go up in value.
Cheers, a 170k miles, that's going some, believe it or not mine has only done 19k miles. The bike originated from Jersey, that's not a place to put a lot of miles on a bike.. A lot of the bikes life was spent stagnating in my garage, much to my shame.. Even so I couldn't bear to part with it, I knew I would get it back on the road at some point. It's definitely a keeper, no road tax, no MOT's and cheap historical vehicle insurance. Thanks for commenting. 🙂
Very nice Alan! Always good to see a bit of BMW history prowling the streets. I noticed that your knees were inside the fairing as you rode. It’s pretty impossible for me to get my long skinny legs behind there - wish I could, it would be nice to be bit warmer at times. All the best! Joe
Cheers Joe.. I’m afraid my carb work wasn’t a great success, the carb still leaks when on side stand if the bike is on the camber of the road.. I think it’s time for the dealer, we have a good BMW dealer close by, but as usual, they’re expensive.
I’m surprised you can’t tuck your legs in, I’m 6’4 with long legs. Wonder if there’s been a slight change in fairing design, I don’t think yours has an oil cooler. 😀
Very nice trip! I hope everything is alright now. 🤞👍Have a beautiful day!
Thank you, unfortunately not as successful as I would like.. back to the drawing board :-)

Hi again Tall-Guy. Just watched the "A Quick Ride" video. I had forgotten how close and low your hands are on the RS. I think you may be right, helmet mount for the GoPro.
Hope all goes well. Take Care Jim
Cheers. :-)
