BMW K75 How to check the battery and generator

[@michaelovitch]

No problem about the filter . Do it when you have to do it. Thank you for the parts shop : )

[@navythomas8]

Very well done Dion!! I think you covered all of the main Items.

[@michaelovitch]

Sure it would be interesting ! I 'm on your channel watching all your videos right now. I would like to buy a k75rt ,it's very cheap but needs some work as the fuel pump wich is siezed. At bmw dealer it's very expensive 320 euros ! but it can be replaced by a fuel pump from cars wich is nearly exactly the same. Your channel is interesting and there is a lot of informations. Thank you about that. : )

[@truebluepat]

[@djverhulst]

No, but I think about to replace a new fuel filter and then I have to take it out and make a video of it if you like

[@really2ugly]

I agree with Tom!

[@michaelovitch]

Have you ever had problems with the fuel pump ?

Ok, throwing this out there to my fellow K brethren, are all the 75's the same in HP/Torque?

[@djverhulst]

in terms of power they are the same be it that there are some differences by emissions requirements, and old and new specimens

Hey there I have a 1990 K75 C and my speedometer was acting up and not working for a few days and then i came outside and tried to ride it and the battery was dead i jumped it it was fine i went for a 2 hour ride then let it sit for about 45 minutes and it was dead again do you have any idea what could be happening could you possibly make a video on how to clean the speedo connection inside the instrument cluster

[@djverhulst]

+Kyle G first I check the sensor on the cardan, when there dirt on it wouldn work proble

[@tommynikon2283]

I have an '87 C. My own speedo would work/not work- typically at less than 25mph. What I did: clean the other end first. At the rear hub, remove the speedo sensor and clean it off; reinsert. Mine worked after that. Of course, the PO (or POS to me) failed to mention that he had reamed out the hex head/Allan bolt for the sensor- so I had to get a bolt extractor kit to get that out; stripped. Kit= $22. New bolt, $1.88. Labor=$0. The other- which I failed to do after taking off the instrument pod, it's back, etc.- was NOT cleaning the connector prongs prior to re-assembling. I didn't know about that- and that fix at the time- because I was chasing another varmint at the time, unrelated. Because I was already "there". The "C" fairing was off, cluster off, etc. IF doing so...while you have the back off the instrument cluster pod- replace all the lightbulbs. Replace the rubber seal. Check all connectors. Because you're already there.

Ok, not true for the 88 75c! The ecm is attached to it. I was ready to start pulling harder since his came out so easy. What year is his?

1991 ,

@@rushtk2112 you have different types of saddles on the K75,,, a normal K75 or a K75 S the saddle comes off completely, but on a RT you can flip it over, this k75 has a RT saddle

[@rushtk2112]

@@djverhulst I'm learning, my 88 75c is my 1st K bike. Trying to keep the battery charged. I'm using the 1985-1995 Clymer manual.
