I have just refurbished a 1976 Bmw R600/6 which has been stored for over 20 years. Once i got it running i found i could only select 3 gears i believe the missing ones are 1st and 5th. Is this a common problem with these machines and what should i do to remedy it? yours Shane Hill

what year X5 ?

I got this free Pdf manual from reliable-store for free and I don't think Ive visited a mechanic or fixya for help for more than 3-4 times out of the 20 times I fixed the chipper in these 4 years

There are plenty of online stores that sell refurbished elliptical machines. Here are a few; however I recommend doing some extra searching of your own.

I'd like a little more information but here goes. "Case pins" if you have dismantled the engine you will find these "pins" in strategic points in the casings. They are used to properly align the component parts during reassembly. They can be found in cylinder heads cylinder to block block halves or pretty well anywhere that a precision fit is necessary. This is a non wear non stress part after assembly I can't think of any reason they would need replacing unless damages or lost during dismantle. I rode a BMW R 75-5 across Canada once, great motorcycle but the seat was like sitting on an oak plank. Nice ride hope I helped

i agree, sounds like the clutch is dragging, fairly common when not been used for some time..adjustment / lubrication should do the trick..good luck..

In the bottom of the engine is a rubber impeller/water pump. It is in the housing above the prop, not hard to change. Basic tools a six pack and about an hour. The part will cost you about $20, and you can order it from NAPA parts store. They will be about 50% less than a boat shop. Good Luck
