Thanks for the video Chris . As a non mechanic I’ve learned a lot by watching you fix problems on these bikes.

Now that I can watch the entire thing - another awesome video Chris. The customer's R75/6 is gorgeous - much cleaner than my 1975 model. Inspiring me to a) adjust my caliper and b) clean my bike :)

Think it was the rim pressing against the back of rotor.?. Original wheels were stainless spikes. Who ever shamed the new wheel on could have messed something up? Just saying

Excellent! I am rebuilding the calipers right now and wasn't particularly looking forward to the fiddly method as described in Clymer :)

Which cap bolt? The large one on the bottom of the ATE caliper? Heat & cold are your friends.

Yes. BMW manual turns this into a space shuttle launch. It isn't that difficult! Ride :)

Chris - I was looking for a quick vid on adjusting the caliper (I'm replacing my pads) and of course looked to your library first. This video seems to cut off after a nice pan of a very very clean R75/6 (mine is a 1975 R75/6). Am I missing something?

Adjusting the alignment is that easy, just death-grip on the lever and close the cap nut?

Hi Chris, I wonder if you can help, I have an 1981 r100 rs which I have stripped and rebuilt, new bearings in the wheels etc, however if I tighten the spindle nuts up to the torque that the manuels say (45-50 nm) there is a hell of a lot of tension and resistance, and the wheels barely turn!!Is this normal for new bearings? Or should I just set them at a lower torque? CheersRoss

I'm no mechanic but I know these bikes. They have tapered bearings in the centre hubs which means they need to be correctly shimmed centrally according to their wear before tightening. Check out the existing shim that you removed, it sound like you require a wider shim.

can you tell me how to remove the caliper altogether Ive got it loose where it swivels but removing the pin is a trick. 1977 r75 7 thanks. rob
@ChrisR.Harris6 жыл бұрын
Hi Rob, isn't that pin threaded internally? Screw a bolt into it and pull. Good luck.

@robbartell98506 жыл бұрын
Yes Chris, it came right out of there and thanks. The seal is leaking on the caliper so now can you tell me how to get the pads out so I can replace the seal?? I'm obviously not a brake guy!! Thanks again.
@ChrisR.Harris6 жыл бұрын
Take the caliper to a brake guy. Once the pads are removed (there's a wire clip on the pin that is attached to the backing plate of each brake pad) you'll need a rag and high pressure compressed air to blow the caliper pucks out of the caliper. Have someone familiar with this do it so you don't injure yourself or damage the parts. Good luck.

It is always portrayed as some complicated foolishness. It is not hard to adjust. Good luck, Chris
