Part 1 of my motortrip to the Ardennes in Belgium that took place in september 2013. Footage is al little dark sometimes. This is due to the camera settings. I tried to brighten up the video, but some parts are just to blacked out... TH-cam muted the original video because of copyright blahblah. So I replaced all the music with royalty free music from TH-cam's own music library.

Changing the oil and oilfilter of my BMW K75. This is the way how I do it. I'm sure there are some people who fill the oilfilter with oil before installing it. Do as you please ;-)

No oil should be present when you take that cover off unless the filter is leaking, no?
Yes that's right.
Thanks.
How is the clutch pull for a 2008? My fjr was pretty stiff. Sat on a 2014 model with a very easy pull.
Compared to modern bikes it's stiff.
Hi there how tall are you? What do you think is the max body size to be able to fit your legs behind the RT fairing? Heard som complaints about taller people not being able to fit their legs… Thank for the great video BTW👍
Hmm, hard to say. I'm 1,87 m and have no problems. My brother is a little bit shorter, but maybe has longer legs because he always complained when he rode my bike that he couldn't fit his legs properly behind the fairings. So, the only way is to make a test ride. Good luck!
Bought new, will haul ass all day and keep a smile on my face. Great machine!
I am original owner of 1990 K75RT. Get hard and expensive to get some parts. But very hot in Texas summers.
Very good video. But Judging the time to clean the engine casing and the mirror it’s going to take a long long time to dry a car ?
👍🏻
Rode my k75c 5 hours when got home not sore and bike rode smooth and plenty of power...I really enjoy my 35 year old bike
My wife and I love riding our k75c ....wanna go for a adventure just press the start button and ride all day...
I Idid not realise the boxer motor was a two stroke!!!!! 3.30
Beautiful, practical bike. Would you recommend it to budget motorcyclists? Are they as reliable as a Japanese bike, and how much do they cost to maintain/repair? I hear most shops don't work on these anymore. Cheers.
Very budget friendly bike and easy to maintain yourself. If a shop won't work on this bike, look for another one ;)
Yes, absolutely invest in a K series. I don't even want a shop working on my anything. They over charge and under preform. I love older vehicles because they are built to a standard not a price. Today they are extremely great values. You also qualify for classic insurance. I had the opportunity to purchase a 1985 K100 LT in 98% condition 79,213 miles on it from BMW collector's son. The gentleman passed away and I loaded it up for $2,000. I have never seen a used bike so clean in all my life. I truly have a hard time believing it has that many miles. Yes, absolutely invest in a K series.
believe it or not this is exactly the review i was looking for .. thank you
Hi. What is the topspeed? What are the rpm in topgear at 90 km/h and what is the fuel consumption at 90 km/h. Thanks from Denmark and stay safe
Topspeed: I think 200 km/h? Never tried. RPM at 90 km/h is around 3000 rpm if I remember correctly. Fuel consumption at 90 km/u: 1:24 (l/km) easily.
Dude you a thumbs up right away for using a doors track as an intro 👍
hey are any of the rt1200 automatic bikes
No
Heb je het nog? Wat zijn de problemen geweest tijdens je bezit??
Geen eigenlijk. Gewoon een betrouwbare motor die mij nooit in de steek heeft gelaten.
Big mistake not filling up with fresh oil the new filter. One should top it up with oil before installing. You are teaching wrong here.
I was about to look it up in the Haynes manual, but I sold it recently since I no longer have the K75. The forums I looked at also don't agree: some say you have to top it up, others say it doesn't matter. I've never topped it up and had no problems afterwards. Remember that there will always be some oil left in the system. It's not that you're running the engine without any oil in it and also, it's only for a couple of seconds. Always a nice topic for any conversation at a motorcycle meetup ;-)
lovely bike pal i had a 05 back in 18 through to 19 then sold it it was the grey model no cruise on it been riding z1000sx 2015 and gen 1 tuono but the only bike i have regretted selling was the rt so 2 weeks ago i purchased one 2005 needing a few jobs 41000 miles panniers but not original topbox cruise control same grey as last one servo brakes removed i have kept other bikes honestly i have ridden and owned dozens of bikes but k26 05 to 09 rt is my favourite i even test rode a 1250 in 2020 for 2 hours but still i prefer the k26 much nicer looking too stay safe bro
Thank you and good luck with your bike. Nice story!
Hi wich kind of bags do you have?
These are the BMW city cases
I ride a K75T which I purchased new. Never had to do more than an occasional battery and regular oil and fluid changes. It has never left me on the side of the road and I have been told by former K75 owners that they never should have sold theirs. Recently I bought a 2004 R1150RT with 5000 mi. on it so my wife can ride with me in comfort. Not near as smooth as the K-bike and very "buzzy" through the handlebars. Guess which one is going for sale? (FYI - Not the wife).
Do you know where I can find the tools and replacement kit on the internet?
If you use Google search you'll find them. I bought it at Motobins if I remember it right.
Oef! Dat is intussen een oudje. Doet me met heimwee terugdenken aan mijn '06 RT waarmee ik dik 140.000km gereden heb. Toffe motor. Maar nu in afwachting van mijn '21 1250 RT.
Waar is deze plek? Btw, zeer mooie motor en de locatie is ook gaaf om te filmen👍🏻
Thanks from Belarus, interesting video
En bevalt de motor een beetje?
Nice bike.. nice video.. I have a k100 LT.. 1989 model.. it’s too big for me.. and heavy.. however.. anyone thinking of buying one of these.. let me tell you.. you get a lot of bike for reasonable money.. maybe not the most exciting bike in the world.. but very dependable..very stable on the long distance journey..☺️.. everything works on mine.. German Engineering for you.. remember it’s an 89 model.. clutch and gearbox is smooth as you like.. mine is reading 89000 miles.. and it purrs!!!! I’m selling her though.. but testimony to these bikes.. they do excactly what it says on the tin🤗.. happy safe riding..
awesome video! thanks so much. I'm having a bit of a problem with my k75 and was wondering if you had any thoughts. (I'm not a mechanic, just learning on my first project bike). Something is happening with the rear end of the bike. The back wheel feels "loose" and like it's slipping when I make turns. The wheel is connected correctly to the bike, and I am experiencing a "wobble" on the back end when making slight turns in the road. Any thoughts? Thanks again for the great videos
Hmm, sounds like a wheel bearing issue to me. Put the bike on its centerstand, grab the back wheel with both hands and try to wobble it. Can you feel any play? If yes, I suspect the wheelbearings. But I'm no mechanic, so maybe better take it to a garage.
@@BMWK75Rider Thanks for the tip! I don't feel any free play but it's hard to tell. I haven't been able to find a k bike mechanic in LA. Even BMW dealers out here don't want to touch these :(
@@danhix1371 Hmm, good luck :( sorry I can't help.
And what was it? Spineproblem for never greased it with Staburagsgrease?
29 Euros (1070 Baht) delivered in Thailand. Even though you think the protection is "rubbish", any padding is better than no protection. The high Vis is and improvement over most garments even not considering the REMOVEABLE padded protection.
Meer ouwehoer video's pls!
Netjes mooie motor 👌👍
PS - I hope you've kept the K! They're getting rare now! :-)
Be very interested to hear what you make of this. A few years back, I tried one out .. and liked it, but I ended up going for the K1200S (noted for having some niggles, at least a % of the early models, I sold mine and went back to the Green, perhaps over cautious, but I also like having bikes I can fix myself - Can-bus wiring not so good for this) Oh for the good old days of copper wiring, and carbs! :-)))
At last, your new bike ! I'm not keen on R models... and even more, on last BMW models... since K75 :D... But she looks beautiful. I'll be interested with your comparison R1200 vs K75. Of course, not the same generation !
I wonder if you will prefer one over the other. I would hate to have to decide which bike to ride each day. I think this K75 looks classic. Yours in all black is perfect. However, the R motors feel much more exciting and involving, to me.
Aren't R motors fun? Especially with 110 HP. Waiting for the ride review.
i agree they are just enough for the road i have a gen 1 tuono and a gen 2 z1000sx and i can say the k26 rt hex head is just a riot its obviously not as agile as my otjer bikes but what a weapon its a wolf in sheeps clothing i intend to keep mine a long time

Thanks! Just ordered some on eBay.
I prefer an upright riding position and have a preference towards cruisers, but seeing one of these for £1.2k in great condition...is swaying me
Good to see you back BMWK75Rider :-)
Still a nice bike ! I'm just surprised you did not repair it. And what about your new bike ? an other K ?
Not a K but another letter in the alphabet...

What's your thought for starter bike? BMW K75 or BMW RT 1200?
@@SantoshDevara Hmm, that's a hard question. It also depends how much money you can spend on a bike. A K75 is relatively cheap and very easy to maintain yourself. It handles well but it is a heavy bike. The 1200 is easy to handle on the road but might be too big for a starter. Most important is: how do you feel? When I rode the K75 seven years ago I felt comfortable right from the start. I just had my license for two years, but that bike made me feel at ease and relaxt. So I bought it. And because it wasn't that expensive it wouldn't be the end of the world if I dropped it. Also the insurance was cheap, because of the age of the bike. You have to remember that if you are a less experienced driver the insurance is more expensive, especially in combination with an expensive bike. There is no such thing as a starter bike. Ride what you feel comfortable on and learn to stay in control of your right hand ;)
Can I use this same oil on a 85 k100RS ?
I've no idea. But I think Google can help ;)
I'm sure you found it by now, but the cruise control screw is on the underside of the right hand control unit. What it really does is creates friction on the throttle return so when you let go it stays in place and doesn't drop the pull of the throttle. Enjoyed the commentary on the nature of the K bike.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Indeed a lovely machine. I find riding it, very pleasant as well. For prober maintenance I found these advices from an experienced BMW dealer very helpful: www.motobins.co.uk/hints
Hallo! I miss your K-videos. Why do you stop publishing K videos the last years? Do you have an other bike meanwhile? Or did you had technical problems with the K?
I'm sorry for the lack of videos. The BMW is still in my garage and I ride it sometimes, but there is another horse in the stable! I think I'll post a short video soon. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
