I have a 1979 R65. The front brake is very stiff

  1. I have 2 ideas. Stuck galiper. This crimper gotta move freely on pins. When it get rusty, desassemble everything, clean and buff and lube it with anti-seize and dielectric grease mixture. Also inspect the piston if it moves freely and if its free of rust when you depress the lever. Then put it back genltly with screwdriver. Also sometimes its very hard to bleed, because the wire have curves in it and air bubbles get trap. It did mess with mine for a complete days, putting the bike on aside and actionning the lever, i was always looking at bubbles gettin out in the oil reserve. Gotta have no air in the lines. Also some people bleed it from the bottom by using seringe and injecting oil in the galiper bleeder...

Front disk

I'd clean them, most disc brakes are sprayed with oil before they're shipped on the bike. So if it isn't all wiped off then the disc/pads start to collect dirt and dust which can cause a squeel. Clean your pads and your discs and see if that helps.

My BMW R60/7 has burnt

Try contacting Motobins at Gosberton near Boston lincs. They are absolute geniuses with all things BMW and they will correct this if I get it wrong...
Check the mounting of the diode plate and electrics in the timing chest on the front of the casing. There should be a rubber spacer to stop it shorting out on the case, I know they have the answer at Motobins. This never happened with either of my Beemers fortunately but if you get them to send you a catalogue it contains a section on "hints and tips" and I'm sure the diode plate is in there.

Fuse for the headlights for 650 BMW 2008

On a 2008 BMW 650i, the fuse for the headlights is located in the fuse box under the hood. The specific fuse you need is Fuse #61, which is a 20-amp fuse located in the third row of fuses from the top. To access the fuse box, open the hood and locate the black plastic cover on the right side of the engine bay. There should be a diagram on the underside of the cover showing the layout of the fuses. Once you've found the correct fuse, you can use a fuse puller or a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove it from the fuse box. It's always a good idea to check the owner's manual for your specific vehicle to get the most accurate and up-to-date information on the location and function of the various fuses.

My 2003 BMW R1150RT won't start after it overheated, what would the problem be?

It depends on how hot it got and for how long? Holes in the pistons under the spark plugs. Burnt Exhaust Valves. Stuck Valves.
