Oiling the head bolts before torquing them will result in a much higher tension than if they are torqued dry. Is it specified in the manual whether to torque them with oil or dry?

Привет, можно вопрос?

Thanks for your slash 2 videos Seroj. I just re-assembled my '62 R60/2 engine with your help. Your videos hit the sweet spot of working as if I was there instead of jumping around with a bunch of edits. Very useful. Thanks.

I just bought a blue and white cb350

Realy loves that you in short explains what you about to do, before start to work, makes it so much clearer during your work. This is the best instruction video I have seen, as far. You would be a great Teacher.

That tool was really handy. Excellent video.

Awesome ride awesome bike

Magnifique 👍👍👍

Hi, Seroj, I have a doubt doubt! around 1:55, before breather plate you set a flat and wave washer, but instead of them, in the bmw diagram there is a spring, and a cover disc for engine breather, and after the breathe plate an snap ring. I'm confused. Is this a modification for later models? What's the right set?

Hello.out of interest as you are rotating the engine by hand is the points cam moving at the same rotating speed as the crank .(is an unusual project I’m doing 😀😀)thanks Paul

On m’y R69S, there are 6 spacers between the pressure plate and the outer pressure ring. Very difficult to install with this method. I found that the three bolts are not necessary for reinstalling the clutch. The flat head screws can be installed directly.

👍👌

The re assembly is way off. First, never put sealer anywhere near a bearing. Second, that main bearing is not completely seated into the cover. You can tell by the extra effort to make the dog gear turn. You need heat to remove AND install the cover onto the bearing! Also, tapping on cover to seat the bearing puts the load onto the bearings outer race. No bueno. Heat the cover and let the bearing drop into it by putting the final drive dog side down.

Bonjour, à tout hasard : auriez-vous s'il vous plait une vidéo sur le remontage de la colonne de direction R50/2? Merci d'avance de votre retour, bien cordialement et très bonne journée, Mr HENRY-------Hello, just by chance: do you please have a video on reassembling the R50/2 steering column? Thank you in advance for your return, best regards and have a good day, Mr HENRY

Hi Seroj, best regards from Germany, Cologne and thanks for your precise procedure to reassemble a R60/2 motor. It did it myself in the nineties, under guidance of a experienced friend in Eindhoven with my BMW R50/2 (cause: the slugde pipes were full of crap and had been demolishing the barings, not a fine sound). He made all the necessairy tools on a lathe. It cost us a few evenings till deep into the night. I prepared with Clymers guide the whole process with sketches, to rehears every step. Then at the final act (heating the Motorcase in a gasoven till 150 degrees) I made a significant mistake by changing the oilpump-gear position, above to downward and vice versa. Everything perfect, but the oilpumpgear was false reassembled. So we had to do the whole procedure again (costly, I had to buy new bearings and seals), then it works out smoothy. I wished I had such a guidance as yours in those days. But that was before the KZbin-Era.

Thanks so much for the very instructive videos on the adventure I am about to endeavor in the next days. But: didn't you forget a gasket between the engine block and the timing cover? Cheers and have a great one?

One can also screw the retaining bolt tu use it as a puller and bring forward the flywheel at this point.

Bonjour, Auriez-vous une vidéo de remontage du bras oscillant avant r60/2? merci d'avance, cordialement

Bonjour, merci de vos vidéos! Auriez-vous une vidéo sur le remontage du bras oscillant avant?

I had two of these, same color. A Honda triumph.

very good info

There is an error at 9:00 minutes. The sleeve will prevent the bearing to come out. Just don’t put the sleeve there. All the rest is perfect. Thank you for making these videos.

For Sale

Gorgeous! It sounds like it is running on only 1 cylinder though. Gets better as it warms up?

è la migliore motocicletta da turismo di ogni tempo, tuttora insuperata. Nonostante la lubrificazione a sbattimento. Con questo modello la Bmw di Monaco, non quella di Berlino, ha raggiunto la piena maturità tecnica e stilistica, mentre la Vincent è la Brough Superior sono scomparse prima di raggiungerla

Hi Seroj: Could you please let me know the correct values to adjust the valves of the R60/2 from 1968? I found that is 0.15mm for the intake valve and 0.20mm for the exhaust valve. However, there is another adjustment on the side of the valve. Do you know the value? I appreciate your kind help and information.

Had a R69S for over 3 decades and overhauled the engine. They are relative simple, heavy built. Wait till you try installing the crankshaft, you can say "Oh Shucks and many other words a Sailor is well versed in".

It's a 41 mm Bolt. I use a mallet instead of a Construction Hammer.

My bike is very difficult to start. Do magneto rotor need to be re magnetized as part of normal maintenance ( it’s been 50+ years) ?

How do you solve for differential timing?

Wow In the late 70s I bought a r60/2 with a bad crank too. Sent the crank out to have it rebuilt then rebuilt it. Rode it for 5 years before I sold it. It had a full fairing and saddle bags. Loved it but not enough to keep it

This is great information!

I get continuity even points are open . The engine is in bike so I don’t know if that changes things ?

Thanks for making these videos.

Would've been great to see how you installed the new seal. It's always tricky getting those to go in evenly. Any tips? Thanks!

Just a lovely bike! But it sounds like the pilot jets are clogged. Get those cleaned out and she'll purr.

Is there a work shop manual you can recommend to guild you through the rebuild process?

i think it's R50 🤔

Nice job!

My favorite of all classic Harleys the knuckle head

My very first motorcycle was a '46 Harley 61, which I bought in 1956 for $250. I rode that bike for 40K. After riding Harleys for 15 years and about 140K, my brother in law came riding up my driveway on a brand new Honda 750 four cylinder. Took it for a short ride.....goodbye Harleys and I've never looked back. Put over 200K on several Yamahas and Hondas......am now 83 and just sold my final Honda ST 1100 about two weeks ago. Hopefully, one day I'll ride that big Honda in the Sky!

Good tutorial. Have owned my R50/2 since Sept 67, never saw the inside of the rear drive yet. I bought it to get away from chains, it’s working! Thought you would also warm the cover for reassembly. Do you know of a repair for the splines when worn other than all new parts.? Thanks.

I have 2, 73 r75 toasters and a 66 r60/2. If they are not brand new. Roll the push rods on a flat surface. If they are not perfectly straight, you will never get the valve timing right.

I looking for a /2 motor mount for an enginde stand. Any ideals?

Nice Video Seroj! My question is: Where can i purchase that mini tool? I cant find it at cycle works. Thanks

Thank you

Just what I needed for my R50/2; I wasn't sure whether I should attempt it or not. A pefect tutorial.

Seroy, I like to thank you for your very clear instructive videos.

Nice bike

Hey man, we are in the middle of rebuilding this same engine. Was hoping that maybe we could reach out through email or something to ask a question about the bearing at the end sitting against the crank timing gear. When we put it in the bearing couldn't spin.
