We have finally completed our move from California to North Carolina. Thank for all of the comments and positive feedback!

Excellent work, very beautifully presented. What joy to listen to an articulate American who has more adjectives than "awesome" at his disposal and who, as an added bonus, can pronounce "Getriebeseite" properly. I knew there had to be at least one. Joking aside (for a joke it was), you should go into training full-time. I owned a 90/6 in 1975, and it was still probably the bike I loved the best.

Kind of laught when you mentioned importing the battery from Europe. I have an USA Hawker Odyssee PC650 AGM battery (+ a tool box) installed in the standard tray. Since an AGM needs a bit more voltage I have swapped the original regulator for a government spec one. Works a treat! Love these series of videos, thank you so much.

Excellent and informative video, thank you for taking the time to produce this series, Kind Regards from a R75/6 owner in the United Kingdom.

[@boxer2valve]

Hello Clive, kind regards back to you from California! Thanks for taking the time to post a comment! More to come!

[@gerokron3412]

Greetings from Bavaria! Very nice videos. I own my 90/6 since 1989 and always wondered at this distinctive blap-blap-sound you can hear sometimes. Well, its the breather valve. Thx for showing me, folks. Now I have to watch the rest of your videos aswell, to have a look what I also dont know about my bike.

[@mikemcallister757]

Again, Thank you for the very informative video! Gives one confidence to work on there own bikes. Plus it's nice to know that you carry the parts we need to keep em running.

[@boxer2valve]

Hi Mike, thanks for your comment. We are receiving new shipments from Europe several times each month and continually adding to our product offering. If there is anything you need but are not finding, let us know.

You guys are doing a great job on these videos, good on you for taking the time getting those camera angles just right so we can see what's going on. I'm also curious about the slight angle on the carbs, I've always set them straight up and down by eye. Thanks again!

[@boxer2valve]

Hi Sam, thanks very much for your kind comments. In regards to the carburetors, I don't have a scientific explanation but this is what I was taught by a great master in Germany back in the early 80's and so I have always done it this way. To the best of my knowledge, this is how they were installed at the factory. One benefit is that you gain a bit more room for your shins. There is nothing wrong with mounting the carburetors vertically. I'm simply showing how I do things and others may have a different idea about this.

[@daledahlman9629]

These are high quality videos thank you very much I’ll stay tuned I have my jugs off my 88r100rt I wish you were local lol

[@daledahlman9629]

I would like to know some where to recondition my heads I’m in Kankakee Illinois area

[@shanzillas]

You rule! Great tips and vids thank you

[@larrygraham2795]

Thank you once again, informative and entertaining. The little tricks will make my project bike just that much easier.

[@boxer2valve]

Hi Larry, so glad that you are enjoying our videos!

[@6CylSuccessVideos]

Really appreciate you mentioning some of the parts you carry which are NLA. I will be ordering a few shortly now that I know where to find them. Excellent video. You make that choke lever assembly look easy. I did mine a month or so ago without benefit of your insights and it took a bit to get it right. Anxious to see your carb synch procedure.

[@boxer2valve]

Hi Frank. Thanks a bunch! we'll eventually get around to that! Stay tuned!

[@lesleysmith5623]

Sat and watched the whole lot this afternoon. Clearest, most informative videos on airheads on KZbin. But ... am I missing #13 ?

[@SW-jh6dm]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I really appreciate it! I can't wait for next videos :) Thank you very much!

[@boxer2valve]

Thanks for your feedback. We are trying to have one a week and at least one every two weeks.

[@vespasandengines]

The compression rings pushes against the exhaust as the exhaust nut is tightened? Or is there another way the exhaust is held to the exhaust port?

[@chappyjennings2689]

Awesome video. My choke lever is missing the internal spring and wave washer. Do you have these for sale? It’s also a R90/6.

[@59jaguar]

Merry Xmas guys! Wanted to ask if you have a video showing upgrade for crankcase breather vent for r90 ?

[@SPSteve]

This video series is fantastic. I bought my first BMW, an R75/7 and I've watched all the episodes to this point to get familiar with the bike. I have a couple questions, can the starter cover be removed without taking off the fuel tank? I want to repaint the engine badges. Are there clamps available that are better looking than the worm drive clamps for the carburetors? Surely BMW didn't use those originally??? Thanks! I've placed 2 orders with you so far.

[@richardsalsman1069]

That actually makes sense. Thanks

[@MrTriple3]

Great stuff. Thanks a bunch!

[@themosaito]

Hi, thank you for this great video. The crankcase valve breather tube- does the other end connect to anything, or does it just end there so that it get filtered air? Thanks!

[@ryansher]

love every single video! btw is everyone back to work already? my order has been pending since 26 Dec 2018

[@boxer2valve]

We are finally getting caught up with shipments after our move from California to North Carolina. If you still haven't received your order, please contact me with your order number at [e-mail] and I will take care of you. -Bruce

[@warrenolds625]

What a great series of videos. Question, I have an R60/6 and a R90S. Can you elaborate on why you orient the carbs pitched inward and if that rule applies to my tow bikes as well?

[@boxer2valve]

Hi Warren. We are glad that you enjoy the videos. The main reason for the slight tilt inward is clearance for your shins. This is not as much of an issue with the slide carbs but in any case, there is nothing wrong with having the carbs positioned vertically or giving them a slight tilt. I think that it boils down to a matter of personal preference.

[@warrenolds625]

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification. Love the videos BTW.

[@vespasandengines]

What’s the best way to stick the badge to the starter cover..? Some type of epoxy?

[@johnhopkins6260]

thanks for great videos... question: the "snorkel" fittings that go into the Airbox, don't the O-ring ends go inside the Airbox opening?

[@ferretlov]

Hi, really informative videos ( thumbs up ) I have a 1988 r80rt with a very corroded engine. Could you advise the best way of cleaning it off. It's a sort of white powder. Thank you

[@parodri]

Podrías poner el traductor a español ….gracias

[@richardsalsman1069]

What is the reason for the slight tilt inward on the carburetors? Everything I have read elsewhere seems to indicate the should sit vertical when the bike is level.

[@boxer2valve]

Hi Richard, there is nothing wrong with having the carbs positioned vertically. This is the way that I was taught to install the carbs in Germany back in the early 80's and It's always worked for me. The main reason I believe is to have a bit more clearance for the rider's legs. No harm in doing it differently!

[@peteratmore3015]

Love this channel #thumbsup

[@davidrosa4156]

Please hurry! I know you’re running a business and this one motorcycle is not your main focus, but the tension is killing me and I want to hear the motor run and see it go down the road.
