Hello everyone. BMWs are great bikes, aren't they?

Re: Just saying Hi.
Thanks for the welcome. I joined because I want to become more familiar with the BMW community and the practical ways of the machine. I have two very different bikes, a 1980 Honda CB250RSA and 1981 BMW R65. The Honda is in great condition and the R65 is not quite there yet but I have been working on it. That's the bike I'm least knowledgeable about and it has been stretching my skills. I have given it a good tidy up and service apart from a couple of things that I'm not sure about i.e. checking the ignition timing, balancing the carbs and generally trying to acertain whether it's as well as it can be. It seems quite happy to run once it's started and warmed up. But I've failed to start it and flattened the battery a couple of times and that's putting me off using it on the roads somewhat as I don't have breakdown cover and I don't want to breakdown and be stuck for recovery - yes a bit pathetic I suppose. I keep finding other little 'improvements' to postpone taking the R65 out!

Hi
where are you based? Put it in your profile to get local information
The starting technique I use is
Fuel on --- Wait 30 seconds
Choke on
Throttle closed
Press button
The received wisdom is that if you open the throttle the bike wont start

Re: Just saying Hi.
I have been using your starting procedure George and I'm happy to say its working well - it starts straight away. It does seem to cut out if the throttle is neglected until its warmed up. Thanks for the advice.
