My 1976 BMW R90/S has 110,000 miles on it. Original starter, original universal. Owned MANY BMW Airheads over the years & never had a universal fail but there were some issues in the 1990s with the GS/R series. Same for the starters. Bosch starter same as a
VW bug up to early 1990s then they went to a Valeo which had issues. The last few years of Airhead production 92-95 lots of weird electrical issues. The R models were the worst for some reason. My personal favorite Airhead is the long wheelbase 1973 R75/5
which is why I still own one. Bought my 1976 R90/S new and rode it all over the U.S., Canada & northern Mexico back in the no cell phone days. Put on 30,000 miles in the first 18 months. Never left me stranded anywhere.</div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">It’s a BMW. It’s going to break down. I owned a 1992 R100R which has the same engine. The alternator stator went, then the universal joint at the wheel end of the driveshaft
blew up while doing 70 on the interstate. The starters are weak and fail often. The diode boards also have a bad track record. Valves need adjusting every 3000 miles. Oil filters are proprietary and expensive. Don’t waste good money on one of these boat
anchors.</span></p>
