Starting a 1963 BMW R69S in Cold Weather

 

Starting a 1963 BMW R69S in cold weather

Q:  My 1963 BMW R69S starts OK but takes forever to warm up, even in the relatively temperate winter here in Miami. What I find so odd is that this motorcycle, designed and built in the chilly land where Mr. Fahrenheit was born, has no choke or other discernible accessory to enrich the mixture in cold weather. How can I get it to run on those 40 degree mornings and still be in tune when the temperature goes back up to tropical? - Glenn Patron/Miami, Fla.

A: Regarding your 1963 BMW, the shop manual I have shows you have Bing carburetors that look an awful lot like the one on my 1974 Jawa. There’s no choke, just an enrichment tickler like on an early Amal carb on a British bike. There are several possibilities, none of them all that promising. You don’t say if you are just having an idling problem or if the bike runs rough at larger throttle openings. If it is just an idling problem you could fit a larger idle jet to get you through the winter, but you will probably have too rich an idle once the bike warms up. If it runs rough in general until warmed up you could also up-jet the main, but again, it will likely be too rich when warm. You might be able to adjust the idle mixture screws on the carbs to provide a slightly richer mixture for your winter. Loosen the jam nut locking the idle screw first. I’d start with one-half to one turn counter-clockwise on each carb and see if that improves things. You’ll want to write down whatever adjustment you make so you can come back to the proper summer mix. I’d suggest a faster idle speed, too, but be aware that you’ll upset the balance between the two cylinders if you start twisting the idle speed screws without some way to synch the carbs. MC

Yogo electric scooter features fast-charging removable battery

Yogo electric scooter features fast-charging removable battery
The yogo, by fledgling British company econogo, is the UK's first and only full production electric scooter that has removable lithium batteries. What’s so good about that? Well, instead of having to run an extension lead from a mains electricity socket inside the house or garage, the yogo’s removable battery allows owners to recharge their scooter’s battery inside their home - or office, which greatly increases the flexibility of a scooter that only has a range of 22 miles per battery charge. Carry another charged battery with you and double the distance you can travel before having to recharge (it only takes an hour).

With a top speed of 38mph, the Yogo’s 1.5kW motor is billed as the equivalent of 100cc motorbike. There is also a smaller-engined version (equal to a 50cc petrol engine) with a top speed of 27mph that owners who passed their British riding test before February 2001 can ride without having to take a CBT test (but not for the bigger motor).

The 1.5kW motor is run by a 30A controller unit which is powered by a fully detachable 20A 52V LiFePO4 battery that weighs 11kg and fits neatly under the seat, and a spare battery can be carried easily on the scooter. econogo says that 100cc and under petrol engines account for 45 percent of the 140,000 powered two-wheelers sold each year in the UK, so it is targeting a healthy market.

The charge time is 1 hour per pack that runs out a range of approximately 23 miles (45 miles with 2 packs). “We believe that much of the <100cc motorbike/scooter market can now be captured by electric vehicles," said James South, Founder of econogo. "Our detachable battery offers people the utmost in convenience and style, as well as being excellent value for money.”

Owners have the added security that the yogo will remain powerless on the street when the battery is detached.

econogo offers the yogo with a number of options such as a selection of graded fabrics and colors for the seat and different paint color for bodywork which can be made to order.

Both versions of the yogo sell for £1999 (US$3073 approx. at time of publishing).

Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Sport

Harley Sportsters have been with us for many years now, and with the 1996 1200S Sport edition you could say they've come full circle. First introduced in 1958, Sportsters were based loosely on the K-model racer of the middle to late 50's. Stripped down, narrow, and light-weight, they were considered the Sixties superbike. During the AMF days of the 70's and early 80's, though, the Sporty evolved into Harley's econo-cruiser. With the arrival of the 883 Sportster, and now the Sportster 1200S, Harley has brought the Sporty back to where it started, to compete with semi sporting bikes.

The XL 1200S is an all new model in the Sportster family for 1996. The first road-going Harley to be factory equipped with full-on adjustable sporting suspension, the 1200 Sport features many other enhancements not found on the likes of any other Harley-Davidson. Items such as new 13-spoke cast aluminum wheels mounted with Dunlop K591 Sport Elite tires, flat, sport-styled handlebars, sport-styled seat with textured insert and embroidered Sportster logo, larger 3.3 gallon fuel tank, and dual front, floating-disc brakes turn this Sporty into a serious backroads scratcher.

The addition of fully-adjustable suspension to the new 1200 Sporty is a radical update for the Motor Company. Of course, in the grand scheme of motorcycle building, adding spring- and damping-adjustable suspension components isn't a big deal -- for instance, designing and tooling up a new motor, like Harley did with their five-speed Evolutions a decade ago, is much more costly and labor intensive. No, the new 1200 Sport is a big subjective gain for many.

Honda to show electric supersports RC-E motorcycle at Tokyo Motor Show

At long last, the world's largest and most influential motorcycle manufacturer appears to be getting serious about electric motorcycles, announcing it will be showing a supersports motorcycle concept at the Tokyo Motor Show next month.

Named the RC-E, the images released by Honda indicate a a super sports motorcycle designed solely for the "the joy of riding."

The brief press statement indicates that the machine is powerful, smooth and will only be the size of a 250cc-class machine. One wonders if Honda will pursue its time-honoured formula for capturing marketplaces - going racing - with the new EV.

I'll be in Tokyo for the show, and simply cannot wait for this one.
