Bike starts right up runs good no smoke 40mm carbs have been completely rebuilt Special note please read .Original transmission would not shift into fourth or fifth,I purchased a used one from Internet BMW Riders site and after installation and riding have found it will jump out of gear in third, nder load at approx 4800 rpm or close to 50 mph. It will not do this riding at leisure .From what I have read this means the trans will more than likely have to come out again or it could be ridden as is as.It appears all other gears pull fine only third will break free as described.I will include the original transmission with sale.

Chris Note on 8-17-15 I talked to my Iowa BMW mechanic who installed the transmission and he thinks the problem I am describing is more likely a clutch issue. If thid gear was messed up and pop out of gear he thinks it would make a terrible noise or pop versus over rev of the engine.like what I am describing which sounds like the clutch may not be holding at that high of rpm regardless. I have adjusted the clutch according to the book buat am by no means a expert. I may have the fine tuning off and this may not be a issue either way I want any buyer to know this as it surprised the heck out of me. Thanks Chris also I found out the CFO stamp above the engine serial # means that it was compliant with the 1978 emissions in the states of California,Florida and Oregon.I have also verified the carbs on it are stamped 94 40 109 left side and 40 104 right side.
