Pedro Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Havenât seen anyone milking a leaky oil seal into three threads before, that bike, being OIL cooled, is going to make for interesting ownership! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnât this the last of the air/oil cooled? Iâm pretty sure they are known for reliability issues as they tried to squeeze too much power out of the motor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few years of that motor, with the four valves per cylinder and 105/110hp were the best engine BMW put into a GS. Apparently they changed to water for higher power and emissions, but the hipster bikes still have an oil cooled engine and that is great, still legal too! Â I looked into buying a nice one of those, but wanted proper cruise control and couldnât find a nice one of the later years. The dry clutch and âcarâ gearbox make sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
