William the Conquerer does it again! Best on the Net. My order arrived on Monday - all parts in-stock, perfectly-packed, and delivered in half the time expected. I've got three airheads and Boxer2Valve has earned a lifetime buyer.
Just found this channel, have an R100GS and an R75/7, feel encouraged to get back to them after neglecting them for a few years, great encouraging way you have. many thanks from the UK
Great to see you back William, thanks for posting this latest video. Working on my R100 mono I absolutely live for these videos and the knowledge you share. (John in Sydney, Australia)
L'année 2020 commence bien .... Encore de merveilleuses leçons de mécanique dédiées à nos belles R80RT. Merci pour ces "leçons" claires et précises ... Cordialement
Merci pour vos aimables commentaires. Bien que 2020 ait entre-temps pris une mauvaise tournure, je crois que notre amour pour ces motos nous transportera au-delà de cela.
Thanks Julian! They will be coming out pretty regularly now, or at least that's the intention. Can't wait to ride that bike and Spring is just around the corner!
For brake bleeding you have to push the brake fluid with a siringe from the left bleeder towards the brake pump and the air will go out thru the brake pump. It works for me on every bike...
Nice video ! I miss the information about the compensationbore in the mastercilinder. It's is the small bore next to the larger bore in the master cylinder. If that is not open, the break will not release. I had that last week....... .
hello i have the T set-up and i have a big issue. First it runs fine but when i break, it does not release the pressure... after 5 min of use it gets stiffer and stiffer till the point the front wheel gets blocked completely. Any guess on what am i doing wrong? I did change the oil, disassemble and clean the master cylinder, disassemble and clean both break units and install new pistons (original brembo). only old thing seems to be the line.
Awesome Guys..great to see you back William.. I do not have vacuum to bleed brakes. Is it possible to still do the old way as in just using the lever. As I have know changed my brake lines to the same way as you have? Or do I need vacuum?
Hi Steven, You don't absolutely need a vacuum bleeder, it just makes the process easier and quicker. You can also use the brake lever but it would then be very helpful to have an assistant to because pumping the lever while keeping the reservoir topped off and opening and closing the bleeder will require more than two hands but it's definitely possible!
boxer2valve BMW Restoration and Parts Supplier Thanks guys.. this has been an absolute god send for me as I only got my BMW R80 in Nov and know nowt about them. So following you guys is fantastic. And to be honest I’ve never done anything like this before, so I’m learning all the time from you guys. keep it up, and thanks so much for your help and replying to me. 👍🏻
Hi Gerhard, We use a mineral based solvent from Safety Kleen however that requires having a service with them. I have had great results with a product called B'laster Parts washer solvent and that is available in one gallon cans.
Always informative. I'm restoring a r100s and i need parts but i find freight from usa to Australia expensive compared with England. Any thoughts on alternative would be appreciated thanks garry
Freight to Australia is unfortunately expensive. Nonetheless, we do send many packages to Australia! We can ship quickly and have almost everything in stock at all times.
Have you ever tried reverse bleeding by pushing fluid in through the left caliper with a fluid syringe and forcing the air/fluid out the right caliper and then up into the master cylinder?
Hi, That's a very good idea and it would probably work, however I have not tried it that way. One concern might be that when the bleeder nipple is loosened, some air might be able to pass by the threads on the outside of the nipple.

Welcome aboard! Glad that we can help you!
Brake bleeding process is pure gold! Drove me nuts when I first had to bleed brakes on my R90S resto! Great job!
Love this serie! Extremly helpful in my own restoration of a R100. Keep up the good work!
Thanks very much! It's good to know that we can help with your project.

Hi John, thanks very much and I'm glad that you are able to benefit from what we are doing. There's lots more to come.
Great tool share about the drill and tap set. Also, completely thorough brake bleed method. Fantastic! Thanks, DH
Another great video. Hopefully the next chapter will be out soon!
Thanks for your enthusiasm. The next one will be ready very soon.

Enjoy all your videos...Keep up the good werke
Thanks very much! Will do!
Great videos. Thanks a lot William
Thanks for watching!
What are those handlebars?...…. have they already been talked about?.... i don't remember....its been so long....So happy to see new activity!!
Hi, Those are K100 RS or K75 S Handlebars, the early version, which are narrower than the later version.
Nice video ! I miss the information about the compensationbore in the mastercilinder. It's is the small bore next to the larger bore in the master cylinder. If that is not open, the break will not release. I had that last week....... .
For months on end my life has been a continuous expression of misanthropy and self-loathing. No more! William's back! Woohoo!
Hey Chris, Too funny! We'll do our best not to let so much time slip bay going forward!
Great video- thanks!
You are welcome!

Thanks William for this episode. Your video's are very help-full for me. One question, what kind of solvent do you use for cleaning the parts?
Hi Gerhard, We use a mineral based solvent from Safety Kleen however that requires having a service with them. I have had great results with a product called B'laster Parts washer solvent and that is available in one gallon cans.
Thanks for the awesome video. Question: What grit flexhone do you use?
