Title: Post Your Literature!
Post by: R65LUST on January 29, 2010, 11:36:30 AM

Ok--Here is the deal.  My machine came with absolutely no original literature whatsoever.  No users manual.  No general, BMW "how to ride a motorcycle" pamphlet.  Nothin'.  Furthermore, the recently posted, super awesome LS/sailplane pamphlet made me realize that there is a wealth of cool R65 porn out there that I don't know exists.  So...
A:  Who's got the stuff that came with the bikes originally.  Owner's manual?  What else was there?  Maintenance schedule?  Warranty stuff?  
B:  Anybody have an advertisement, magazine article, or similar item stuffed in a box in the garage that us new guys would like to see/copy?  

 The only thing I would like better than simply seeing this stuff would be the ability to print out a reasonable facsimile for myself.  It is the 21st century!  POST AWAY!  Thanks.

Rob Valdez was posting about the owners manual part number, and one version still available from BMW .

I think there were three versions originally available, one for the '78 -'80 model year bikes, sometimes referred to as the first generation R65, then the '81-84 years including the LS version, referred to as the second generation, then the '85 and later bikes , known as the 'monoshock' bikes .

I believe that chapter 01 in the BMW parts catalogs, is the section for literature, and its not listed for all bikes .
