Happy Karnataka Rajyotsava. Love from India. We celebrate 1st November here as our Statehood day. So even I had been for a ride that day. Nice to see you ride. Cheers
Back in the day, 1988 my buddy had a K75S and I was on a 88 Gixxer 750 Slingshot. The BMW when on its sidestand parked when Mark would start blue smoke would always cone out. The oil would settle or drain from cylinders.
I live in central PA area and I agree about this time of year. This is my favorite time of year to ride. The only thing that makes me nervous is that it gets dark earlier and the deer are harder to see. It’s like Jurassic Park in PA when it comes to the deer. Be safe out there brother.
@@DadoRados haha! Yes, they sure are. I call it Jurassic Park at night. I keep looking for one of them. Cute little bastards to jump out in front of me. In Central PA turn around and there’s like 10 standing there looking at you. Be safe!
I have access to shop manuals, already took a deep dive and got familiarized. This isn't my first rodeo with this type of stuff, if you have ig you should check out my page. @dadomade
Hi from Danmark. My K100RS is such great value for money. A very realiable and solid bike. By removing all fairings, seat etc. i reduced 35 lbs which was very notable to feel. I also notice a little hesitation around 1500 rpm. like you, but was never able to get rid of it. The engine actually really likes to spin, then it performs the best. I try to not make this bike too pretty, since i enjoy just taking it for a ride without caring if it has a couple of scratches. Seems i appreciate the bike even more this way, it is a workhorse engineered to last many many Miles.
The "RODE Lavalier GO" is an incredible mic and plugs straight into the media mod. Highly recommend it, amazing quality. So keen to see more content from you Dado! Also in your gopro settings make sure to switch it over to "superview" or better. Way better for motovlogs and gets your arms and tank in the shot. 🤝
Loved this. My 87 k75s is stock, has 78000kms on her and runs great!! Needed the usual work after being garaged for 8 years, just recently put new tyres on and slowly attending to other details. I have various videos of the bike on my channel, no ride commentary though.
Love it! I just had my BMW S 1000 R upgraded at Hermy’s’s in Port Clinton and they gave me an R NINE T as a loaner. Love that bike! Super fast for a sort of sport cruiser.
@@DadoRados that’s so good to know! Although I’d rather go to you. I just know how crazy busy you are, and I know you only do it for friends. You guys are making them a lot of money because I keep updating my bike based on your videos.😎
I'm using ultimate add ons for my phone mount right now. Kinda a hassle to put your phone in . But I can charge and it's weather proof, and seems to dampen vibrations. BMW Nav. 6 came with the bike , so I could be switching to that soon if I can figure out how to use it. I know a rider that has had many K series BMWs.
I’m in North Carolina and we have some good riding in our mountains and in the Western Virginia mountains but I wanna come up to PA and ride those roads
Great video as usual Dado. Those smaller roads look just like the country roads over here in England 🏴..including the pot holes!! Looking forward to your next vid 😃
Excited to keep up with your content Dado, enjoying hearing the history of BMW. Great bike choice and the audio sounds crystal clear. I have a Monster 1200R working my way into looking more cafe racer style.
The charging unit does work well with the anti vibration. It is a bit taller all assembled but i had no issues with it at all. I was very happy with it.
love your riding views. I hope to get a k75 someday. been watching videos and some reading about them and really interested in riding one. thanks for the video!
Welcome back Mr. Sausage Fingers, loved the vlog, more of this please, the scenery was beautiful. The audio is perfect, the video quality needs to improve a little bit. 👌👌👌👌
Hello, I just discover your channel, and ...whoooo, amazing You're not only speaking about the K 75, but also, you describe what we discover near the road, and you talk about this and that, as if we knew each other... It's like we are sitting near from you, just on the back seat of the K 75...And Your the Tour Guide and I like this feeling very well ! So, I subscribe to your Channel, and I'm waiting the next one, very impatiently ! By the way about BMW K, Did you know that when BMW create the first prototype of the bike, to valid there technical engine choice they put on the Frame, a car engine, from French car, wich Brand and name, was " Peugeot 104" Have a nice day, John-christopher, from ...France ! the road is beautiful and the landscapes sumptuous
Welcome to the channel! Thank you for the feedback and yes! It was a 954cc peugot engine. The four-cylinder aluminum engine, in addition to being compact and light, was mounted at an angle of 72° and therefore was already practically ready for the use. There are no known photos of the prototype though, bummer.
The K throttle bodies balance is set at the factory and should not be altered! The factory set throttle body screws are marked with green paint and should not be altered! There are vacuum gauge ports covered with rubber ports to fine tune. Check these rubber caps are not hard and cracked. Check the intake tubes are not cracked and leaking as well.
That bike looks and sounds sweet! My first "big" bike was a K100RS, a nice stable ride for a young rider, and the ABS surely saved me a few times :P K100 and K1100 feels very raw, and a lot of vibrations that make my hands go numb. K1200RS is buttery smooth in comparison, and surprisingly nimble for its size. Currently my dad runs a K1100 that he loves. However, he is 70+ with parkinsons, so honestly it´s to heavy, so he only rides it a few times a year. Maybe could convince him to try a K75! :) And yeah, always fun with the twostroke jokes when you´ve had it parked on the sidestand :P
Kudos to you Dado for riding a scram/cafe(ish) \m/ I really hope your YT channel can grow fast coz mate you fckn deserve it!! Ride Safe! Cheers from Portugal and scram fellow ;)
Dado, could you weigh your R1 please, preferably with a full tank? I'm busy streetfightering and lightening mine in a quite extreme way but I never got to put it on the scales in stock form.

Sounds and looks great to me!
Thanks man!

Happy Statehood Day to you!
Great content, man! So much better without Jaret interrupting you with annoying and irritating remarks all the time.
Its all showbiz baby!

Haha thats funny.
Turned out great, the old BMW’s are getting nice attention for new builds.
They truly are solid bikes and have a lot of character.
I live in central PA area and I agree about this time of year. This is my favorite time of year to ride. The only thing that makes me nervous is that it gets dark earlier and the deer are harder to see. It’s like Jurassic Park in PA when it comes to the deer. Be safe out there brother.
I avoid night riding at all costs and where im at deer are like warewolfs.
@@DadoRados haha! Yes, they sure are. I call it Jurassic Park at night. I keep looking for one of them. Cute little bastards to jump out in front of me. In Central PA turn around and there’s like 10 standing there looking at you. Be safe!
Well done sir 🍻
Appreciate it, something a bit different on the channel
I would purchase a Haynes. I believe you will find it invaluable! I bought my 88 K 75 new. And have maintained and serviced mine since new.
I have access to shop manuals, already took a deep dive and got familiarized. This isn't my first rodeo with this type of stuff, if you have ig you should check out my page. @dadomade
Man glad to see I'm not the only one who does exactly that when someone is tailgating me. I pull over let them pass and get their plate just in case.
I try to keep my cool but thats my life on the line...
@@DadoRadostry harder. And get out of his way.

I will dig in on service and maintenance on my k75 this winter, hopefully i source the hesitation issue. I have to agree. These things are SOLID!

Awesome! I will check out the content for sure!
The 2 brothers. Exhaust sound really good on the bike
I have been tossing the idea around but have other priorities before exhaust.
I will be looking at my first k75 possibly tomorrow
Did you end up buying it? they are incredible bikes!
Love it! I just had my BMW S 1000 R upgraded at Hermy’s’s in Port Clinton and they gave me an R NINE T as a loaner. Love that bike! Super fast for a sort of sport cruiser.
Hermy's BMW is a great reputable BMW shop. Definitely one of the best in the state. R9t is a fun bike!
@@DadoRados that’s so good to know! Although I’d rather go to you. I just know how crazy busy you are, and I know you only do it for friends. You guys are making them a lot of money because I keep updating my bike based on your videos.😎
Hairspray prevents grips from spinning. Old bmx trick I used from yesteryear
That red covered bridge you passed looked cool.
I've taken photos there before, really nice spot to stop and rest when on 2 wheels. There are many awesome roads to ride around here!

Nice, I MAY look into doing some ADV riding and possibly camping in the future, looking for a recommendation on GPS units.
That’s a real nice bike Dado and is a great base for some cool mods. Love the channel man, can’t wait for the next. Lots of love from the Uk 🇬🇧 ✊😎👍
Thank you! Stay tuned for more content 😁
Was thinking about a tailgater a minute before your "encounter" lol
yeah, I get disgruntled when cagers get close.
ah! Cagers! lol!@@DadoRados
I’m in North Carolina and we have some good riding in our mountains and in the Western Virginia mountains but I wanna come up to PA and ride those roads
There are so many roads I want to explore around here
nice ride for sure ...lucky dude.enjoyed vlog on a day when its miserable out today here (snowy) triumphs, Ducatis and BMWs are my favs for sure.
Glad you enjoyed :)
Great content, definitely enjoyed listening to bmw motorcycles history. Keep up the amazing work dude
Glad you enjoyed!
I dig it!!!
Thanks!
Quad lock vibration and charging on my 2022 Thruxton RS works great.
Can you send me a photo of what it looks like assembled?
@DadoRados Ill get it tomorrow morning Dado
Great video as usual Dado. Those smaller roads look just like the country roads over here in England 🏴..including the pot holes!! Looking forward to your next vid 😃
Thank you! We have some of the worst roads in the country 😔
I love this video as the Campisi builds. Your very informative Dado!
I appreciate that sir!
Good stuff as usual, Dado! Love and respect. ❤❤
Thank you for the support!
Excited to keep up with your content Dado, enjoying hearing the history of BMW. Great bike choice and the audio sounds crystal clear. I have a Monster 1200R working my way into looking more cafe racer style.
I did not expect this bike to impress me this much it's very fun to rip around on! Are you keeping the monster and getting an additional bike?
This became my favourite YT channel.
Keep up the good job man
I appreciate that! I will do my best to provide some content for you guys to enjoy
The charging unit does work well with the anti vibration. It is a bit taller all assembled but i had no issues with it at all. I was very happy with it.
Nice! Mine is on its way , cant wait to install it. Thanks.
Very informative as always. I enjoy this kind of style vlog dude. keep it up.
Right on Thank You!
Keep up the Good Work 👍🏼 I really like the backroads riding long format videos.
Thanks I will do my best to have a couple of these every now and then
@@DadoRados just shared this video with a friend of mine.
Central PA roads remind me of central NH roads. Tucson doesn't have tree lined roads like that.
Some of the nicest roads to enjoy are back country roads in PA.
love your riding views. I hope to get a k75 someday. been watching videos and some reading about them and really interested in riding one. thanks for the video!
I didn't expect to enjoy the bike as much as I do
Hope you get one. You can find some in like new condition for cheap cheap cheap.
Welcome back Mr. Sausage Fingers, loved the vlog, more of this please, the scenery was beautiful. The audio is perfect, the video quality needs to improve a little bit. 👌👌👌👌
Glad you enjoyed it, i'm still trying to work out the quality.
Yes you want the vibration dampener and it will stack up with the wireless charger.
Perfect, it should be arriving soon!
'damper' not `dampener`.
You said about doing videos of customers' bikes. PetroHead has done 2 videos of my Speed Triple 1200RR and my Street Triple Moto2.
Niceee ill check it out!

I am aware. It appears someone "adjusted" everything already. The vacuum Port plugs we're good and so are the intake boots
Video Sounds amazing!!
Thanks buddy!
Bike sounds sweet
I think so too however, the exhaust needs fixed properly and/or replaced.
I just bought one of these bikes and I can’t find many videos/moto vlogs on them. Can you possibly keep posting?
Sub to my channel i have a good bit of content coming!!

Thats awesome ! I think your dad would probably luke how light the k75 is for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Where did you get the K75 side panels in the triangle hiding the battery? I'd like some of those for my bike.
@@stuartnewman3978 they were on the bike when i bought it but i believe ebay carries them.
Like working on bikes I like riding videos to good job
More to come!
Kudos to you Dado for riding a scram/cafe(ish) \m/
I really hope your YT channel can grow fast coz mate you fckn deserve it!!
Ride Safe! Cheers from Portugal and scram fellow ;)
Appreciate the support and thank you! I promised myself I would be filming more content for you guys! Enjoy!
Hi Dado, great video and great sound!!! What exhaust is on it right now?🙋🏽♂️
Thanks! The exhaust is a factory header with a slip on stainess muffler.
@DadoRados Oohw, thank you so much for the reply!!! Do you know wat slip on it is? (What brand)😉
@@RutgerVanWilgenburg honestly its ebay brand. Ill try to find the link
Nice video. What camera and mic are you using?
GoPro Hero 11 Black with media mod with Shure MVL Lavalier Microphone a.co/d/gSM8P60
@@DadoRados thanks! Awesome work!
@@MRR7 appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Dado, could you weigh your R1 please, preferably with a full tank? I'm busy streetfightering and lightening mine in a quite extreme way but I never got to put it on the scales in stock form.
I could do this in one if my future videos.
@@DadoRados Oh man, that would be awesome! Thx! I expect my 05 to end up around 400lbs... Magazines claim 450lbs wet for a stock one...
I owned one for 6 years - only problem I had was the narrow rims and tyres.
Really enjoyed the vlog style video, audio quality was great. What's going on with the Triumph?
Thank you! Just got the parts i needed for next episode!
@@DadoRados Yoo let's go!!! That's sweet, looking forward to the next video.
Is the GoPro set to super wide angle? the handlebar seems pretty close
It is not but im changing the settings for next motovlog thanks!
@@DadoRados It would be more immersive having the video that way. Thanks for the content
Did you make the seat yourself?
No i didnt it was on the motorcycle when I purchased it. Look up riot motorcycle seats.
fan ❤
appreciate you!
✨️🥇🎯🎨🎇
right on
i looked at the bike and it was great. but i didn’t buy it.
He Mr sausage finger
hey! thanks for the support!
