 | BMW R75/5 "On The Lift" Classic Motorcycle Road Test http://www.clymer.com Welcome to On the Lift episode two, sponsored by Clymer Manuals. I'm James Grooms, Managing Editor. We're at the Tech Center today and on the lift we have a 1970 BMW R75/5. The /5 ( slash five ) series, introduced for the 70 model year, was a real watershed bike for BMW motorcycle production. The previous generation of machines [ post war wwII R50 R50/2 /2 R60 R60US R69 R69S ] were known for their reliability, comfort and quiet operation. Once exclusive attributes to BMW, however, many of the new models from Japan [ Honda in particular with the CB350, CB450 and revolutionary CB750 ] now achieved this at a lower price along with impressive performance. The /5 was available in 500, 600 and 750 cc capacities... this being a 750, thus the R75 designation [ R50/5 R60/5 ]. While relying on BMWs trademark air cooled boxer twin, the model is a radical departure in many ways from the previous models. A telescopic fork replaced the Earles leading link fork. 12 volt electrics replaced a 6 volt system. And to the horror of many a BMW loyalist the bike was available in a color combination other than schwartz mit weiss. The horizontally opposed twin [ boxer, flat twin or airhead ] with overhead valves was all-new. Outwardly, the first noticeable change from the previous models was the placement of the pushrod tubes under the alloy barrels and cylinder heads revealing that the camshaft is under the crankshaft. [ Yes pushrods! While the world was going with SOHC and in some case DOHC, BMW stuck with camshaft in the crankcase. ] The one-piece alloy crankcase features split type bearings in place of the previous ball bearing setup. With aluminum covers over the air filter, starter and alternator, the engine appears to be immense. However, everything is alloy and once removed you can see how compact the engine really is. And the heavy forged crank and cam placed low make for a low center of gravity. You can really feel this during low speed maneuverability. The four-speed gear box is splined to a dry single plate clutch [ /6 on models had a five-speed trans ]. The kickstarter carried over from the older models and as you can see swings out away from the bike. Power is transferred through a swing arm mounted drive shaft to the differential. The hemispherical heads [ hemi ] are fed on this model with CV or constant velocity carbs [ carburetor ]. R50 and R60 s used Bing slide valve carbs. With the carbs, spark plugs, valves, breaker points, air cleaner and battery easily accessed, and shaft drive, airheads are one of the sweetest bikes when it comes to working on them [ repair manual shop manual maintenance how to DIY camera mount ] The front brake is an 8-inch twin leading shoe setup. By the early 70's most machines in this class had a disc up front. The rear is a single leading unit. Looking back the /5 has developed a cult appeal, but at the time it was not universal loved by the purists. Sidecar use wasn't recommended, fiberglass fenders...oh no! And of course the introduction of the chrome tank panels in 72 along with a smaller fuel capacity met with strong disapproval. Now those toaster tank models command higher prices. The result of low production and changing tastes I guess. Early production 5s could experience a speed wobble and a torque reaction when chopping the speed in a corner. So in 73 they added 2 inches to the swing arm and lengthened the frame. So now you have the short wheel base and the long wheel base bikes and the "which one is better" debate continues to this day. Honestly the SWB bikes just look better and that toaster tank...come on...and I love 60's era vintage Japanese bikes [ like the CB77 Superhawk, CB450 K0 K1 blackbomber Suzuki X6 Yamaha YR1 ]! Either way they were and still are great machines. The flat twin was considered a dinosaur by many in 1970. Instead of abandoning their heritage [ Germany Germans at their best, Deutschland uber alles !?], BMW took what they knew and created a technical masterpiece that has stood the test of time. This basic layout would be the foundation for 20 plus years and launch the R90S, the R100RS, the R100RT and the R80GS [Manual for /6 R60/6 R75/6 R90/6 /7 R60/7 R75/7 R80/7 R100/7 R90S R100S R100T R100 R100CS R45 R65 R65LS R80ST R80RT R80 R100GS R65GS R100R R80R R1100RS R1100GS R1100R Manual for 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 Clymer manual BMW R50/5 through R100 GS PD M502-3 ISBN 0-89287-854-1] Music by Kevin MacLeod BMWON BMWMOA 5UNITED AHRMA CLYMER CLYMER.COM maintenance troubleshooting repair diy |

 | Honda CB450 Clymer "On The Lift" Classic Bomber Test http://www.clymer.com Welcome to On the Lift...episode one, sponsored by Clymer Repair Manuals. I'm James Grooms, Managing Editor. For each episode we'll feature a machine that's in the Tech Center [Vintage and Classic Japanese machines from the past]. We may also talk about staff rides or projects, basically anything interesting in the shop. Maybe even a road trip or two to see what some of our authors are working on [Repair Manual] and riding. Today we have one of my rides [For Sale]on the lift, a 1965 Honda CB450. AKA the Black Bomber... sounds ominous doesn't it. I think this Honda model has an interesting history. While everyone knows about the CB750, and rightly so. The Black Bomber is often over looked in Honda's family tree. When released in 65 it created quite a bit of buzz. The motorcycle press covered its release extensively. Even the car magazines, like Hot Rod tested it. It was Honda's largest displacement motorcycle and at the time they were known for small bikes. [For comparison, Kawasaki was a non player w/ the 150 B8S, Suzuki had the 250cc T10 and the only real player was Yamaha w/ the YDS3, all 2-strokes.] Their largest was the 305 Superhawk of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance notoriety. Author Pirsig rode a Superhawk, while his partner was on a BMW. [There was also a scrambler version, a CD450 kit. There would eventually be a high pipped CL450, CL.] The parallel twin has dual overhead cams DOHC. At the time, it was the only production motorcycle so equipped. The hemi cylinder head does not use a traditional valve spring setup. Instead a torsion bar mechanism closes the valves. Twin CV carbs were novel for the period also. While many bikes still had 6 volt electrics, the 450 uses a 12 volt battery. The plugs fire at 180-degree intervals through a twin coil and points setup. [Editor's note: this is a Type I engine. There were also Type II CB450 engines using a single set of points and fired at 360 degree interval. I've never seen/heard one run. Would be interesting.] At 8500 rpm the engine produces 43 hp. Power is transferred to the rear wheel via a wet clutch, 4 speed gearbox and chain. The horizontally split crankcase is held in a cradle frame. This was a departure from Honda's typical spine frame layout. This also allowed the cylinders to be upright as opposed to previous twins. The starter is here at the front; another not so common item in 1965. The twin spring telescopic fork legs hold an 18 in wheel featuring a dual leading brake drum operating on twin pivots. By today's standards, this cable operated dinosaur is nothing special, but at the time it was considered top shelf stuff. The rear brake is a basic single-pivot lever-operated drum. Despite being banned from British racing because of its dual overhead cams the bike missed the mark, for a number of reasons. [This model and the CB350 are very popular in vintage racing in AHRMA 's Sportman class - see Henning. I think a full blown CB 450 cafe' bike is in my plans.] It never sold well at a little over a grand. The KO model was basically unchanged from 65-68 until the K1 [in 1968 and also often referred to as the black bomber, however, I think it more accurate to the KO] release. I've been told there were plenty of four speed bikes still on the dealer floors in 68 at a steep discount. Despite poor sales, the Black Bomber's release in April 1965 marked the beginning of the end for the vaunted British motorcycle industry [Dominated by Triumph, Norton and BSA.] With the next new model release, the first superbike --the CB750, Honda sealed the deal.

 | BMW R1100S 全編音ありは、こちら、 http://vision.ameba.jp/watch.do?movie=992574 Two wheels machine kind In two wheels of BMWs, it is features that there are a lot of examples of adopting a mechanism different from the other two wheels. Especially, there are a lot of one to adopt two horizontal opposing cylinder engine and either a dry single board clutch and shaft drive or this. * Length is put and two horizontal opposing cylinder engine. It was adopted for "R32" first in 1923. The length putting layout to which the cylinder projects right and left is taken, and a basic layout to the drive shaft is alive and well as it is in R series today through the clutch and the transmission. * Shaft drive All cars that exclude the F&G series are the shaft drive models in BMWs though being equipped only by partially two wheel car in a Japanese car because the tail lift when starting is disliked. It is an advantage that it is almost maintenance free compared with the chain drive, and there is no power loss by sliding of the chain. * Dry single board clutch This method that the engine clutch and the changing the speed machine can be thinned more than a general multiplate wet clutch to queue up in length in the putting the length of the engine layout is adopted. (The multiplate wet clutch is adopted it is necessary to reduce the diameter to thickness in the K series of an engine horizontal putting instead of being able to do room. ) It is ardent to the adoption of the new departure, and adopts the following technologies for a car on the market one after another in advance of another manufacturer in recent years. * Pararebarriasaspention Suspension developed to suppress tail lift when starting becoming problem in shaft drive being adopted first with R100GS in 1987. Naming is done by the synthesis of "Parallel" and "Lever". Middle..winding..point..have..swing..arm..arm..compose..link mechanics..rear wheel..actually..long..swing..arm..maintain..tracks..draw..vertical motion. * Tererebarfrontosaspention It the first adopts it with R1100RS put on the market in 1993. Naming is done by the synthesis of "Telescopic" and "Lever". Handling changes by the two-wheeled vehicle in a general telescopic fork reception desk suspension so that the caster angle may change along with the stroke, too. Moreover, the steer stability becomes small as the caster angle after it sinks greatly at the sudden deceleration and the buffer stroke is insufficient stands. Under such a condition, extremely dangerous phenomena such as the steering wheel's the front wheel's splashing when a strong pushing up is received from the road and swinging are generated. It is a thing developed to avoid this. There is an evaluation of transferring it from the little movement of the front wheel forward when the suspension shrinks while excelled in the control stability compared with a telescopic expression by one step in a super-high-speed buffer ability, too. Moreover, it is difficult on the structure to enlarge the stroke. By the way, it is BMWs to have adopted the telescopic expression reception desk suspension for the two-wheeled vehicle of mass-producing on the market first in the world. (R12,1935) R series(two horizontal opposing cylinder engine) R is taking of the initial of Rad (wheel and bicycle). The camshaft is on the side of the cylinder, and the valve can be classified there into drive and high cam OHV by a short push rod. The ground amount of the cylinder is higher than that of old R series. |
