Hey Arch, I just missed you at Peter's place. I drove in from Garner to get my 2019 EFI system recalibrated that day.

Bombar's Beemers relocated from Durham, NC a couple of years ago. I recently needed warranty work on my 2019 cT and he handled it. Peter Bombar is a meticulous mechanic and I've known him for many years. (He restored a 1971 BMW R75/5 for me.) Although he doesn't work on 650 engines, he has the softw...

I had some work done recently on my 2019 cT. The mechanic told me that he had a hard time attaching and adjusting my throttle cables, and could only turn the hand throttle halfway. The rig was not driveable, so I removed the throttle cables and I could get full range of motion out of the hand thrott...

The Rally Politbureau asked me to head up this year's Fall Annural Rebellious Tour (FART) in October.

Due to the extreme uncertainty of events and situations due to COVID 19, the FART is cancelled.

Hooray. I found the timing mark and put some paint on it. I'm good to go.

I finished my second service on my 2019 cT. Service calls for checking valve clearances. When I pulled the rubber plug and looked for TDC and Firing marks on the flywheel, all I noticed were machined out grooves. I adjusted the valves the old fashioned way.

Are there any marks on the flywheel?

I"m going to sit this one out. As of today, FL has closed the State Parks. I suspect other closings will follow.

Sorry. I don't know how to use these features.

I just received a sheet from Heindl Engineering due to a wiring harness problem in 2019 & 2020 rigs. The .pdf file is too big to add. Here are slightly edited instructions. 1. Remove the left side battery cover and disconnect the negative battery terminal. 2. Remove the fuse box, exposing the wiring...

CHECK MY POST. WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM, NOT THE STARTER.

Lofty and windmill - I did that. I turned it off, then set up a service interval.

I bought a cT in December. Only glitch was the engine light coming on, but showed no codes. I cleared it. Now there's a small "wrench" symbol flashing on the dash. I've already done the first break-in oil change and I just turned over 1000 miles.

You shouldn't have a problem with a cT. I did a Jersey Devil Hunt where a fellow showed up with a 18" wheel Bavarian Classic and street tires and he got through every mud hole we hit.

The Raleigh, NC Eurobike Show is Sunday, April 19, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Coastal Credit Union Midtown Park (Near North Hills, off of Six Forks Road, outside the I-440 Beltline. Last year, there were at least three Urals on site, and I would love to see more. Lots of interesting motorcycles, nice fo...

I'm going to try and make this one.
