Friday through Sunday is expected to see temps range from 20 on Friday to a balmy 40 on Sunday. Nice to say that the museum facility is comfortably heated so that your learning abilities will not be compromised. Inside the packet you'll receive is a discount coupon for Saville's Diner. Take advantage of an excellent breakfast Saturday & Sunday at a discounted cost, then you can enjoy the donuts & coffee at the museum later. Saville's is a cash only diner and it is located on Rte. 73 just over the rte. 100 overpass on your way to the museum from the motel. There will also be a raffle of two complete airhead servicing binders during SuperTech with the drawing on Sunday. These binders have a value of $160 each with enough additional space to add your own notes. An example will be available for viewing at the Airstore table. Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $10 - cash only. The grab bag (packet) will be available about 5 PM on Friday and will contain your name tag, ST schedule, and several other information goodies. The Airstore will have most everything available (best to e-mail me to make sure you get what you'd like beforehand). I can accept cash or credit cards for payment. Rob & Chris have worked long & hard to provide you with an excellent experience for this weekend. Be sure to seek them out & give them your thanks.

I hope you are looking forward to SuperTech as much as I am. Here in PA we've arranged for the typical cold weather greeting, but at least the cold won't be as bad for the weekend as it is now, so that is good. The weekend schedule of events is attached, from Rob Price; likely you will want a print copy to bring with you. Several items: For the presentation that Rob Caso and I will be giving about our restoration of two R90Ss on Saturday in Area A starting at 10:15 AM, I have attached a list of "Firsts For BMW" and "Model Year Changes" for the R90S. I suggest you print it out as we won't have copies for everyone at the presentation, as sending this email saves time paper and effort. Please bring lots of restoration questions, as that is the topic we are presenting, it will be fun. Carb Syncing, this helps me: For the presentation about carburetor syncing, I find it easier to understand this process if I think about our twin cylinder engines as being two separate engines. The process of syncing them isolates each "engine" from the other, alternating from one cylinder to the other. Then when making the RPM level and richness of each "engine" equal, separately, they match each other and become "sync'ed". This makes the syncing process easier for me to understand. I hope it helps you as well. Valve Adjustment, What's a Drag? There is a lot of talk about valve adjustment among airheads, which MUST be performed PRIOR to syncing the carbs, since each intake valve opening amount determines how much raw gas mixture comes in and for the exhaust valve, how easily spent gas is expelled. Specifically for valve adjustment, how much "drag" is the correct amount of drag when you insert the feeler gauge between the top of each valve and the rocker arm? It is a very subjective feeling. I find that taking a micrometer and setting it to a setting that matches a feeler gauge of the same thickness, then inserting the feeler gauge into the micrometer, will give you a "feel" for the correct amount of "drag" you are looking for. Powerseal USA: Our speaker on Sat @ 8:15 in Area B is Jamie Theurkaus, one of the owners of Powerseal USA, see http://www.powersealusa.com/ They are nearby in Phoenixville, PA and service work from all over the US. You can read about his companies capabilities above; he will bring samples of cylinders for demonstrating how his company applies a Nikasil type of coating to and rebores cylinders to fit pistons properly. Nikasil was the name of the coating applied to airheads starting about 1981 when BMW stopped using iron inserts in aluminum cylinders. This nickel silicon carbide coating has benefits of much longer life, increased heat dissipation, better sealing, etc. I have spoken to Jamie several times and his presentation will be a lot of fun and very enlightening. Our airheads are getting older and need top end rebuilds more frequently. He can often save our cylinders economically and even make them better than new. He will also bring brochures to hand out. Dave Cushing, thanks: Dave Cushing deserves our sincere accolades for bringing the Airhead Store directly to us as he has for so many BMW gatherings of all kinds everywhere, for so long. He also promotes airhead membership and camaraderie, and keeps up the very helpful list of Airhead Capable Shops. Stop and meet and greet him, and thank him. Be sure to thank Rob Price and Chris Sutton for all their work in putting on this SuperTech for all of us, as well as the other PA Airhead get togethers throughout the year. Day after tomorrow, see you then :-) Mac Kirkpatrick Glenmoore, PA "After all, what is adventure, but inconvenience, properly regarded?" C.

Oh joy. Below is the R90S information. Mac Kirkpatrick Glenmoore, PA "After all, what is adventure, but inconvenience, properly regarded?" C. Donahue ***************************** *THE R90S MODEL* *Introduced on the 50th Anniversary of BMW Motorrad* It has been said the R90S is to BMW Motorrad as the Mercedes 300SL Gull Wing is to Mercedes Benz. They are both iconic. *?FIRSTS? FOR BMW With the Introduction of the R90S:* Designed by a designer, Hans Muth, not engineers 900 cc engine (up from 750 cc) 5 speed trans, was 4 Dual front disc brakes No fork gaiters, the fork tubes were exposed for visual appeal No stays on the front fender, again for visual appeal Steering damper Separate tachometer and speedometer in same housing Polished float bowls Seat cowl Smoked paint (Silver Smoke only in ?74, Tourist Trophy Silver Smoke & Daytona Orange in ?75 & ?76). Daytona Orange was meant to mimic the sunrise at Daytona Beach. Factory fairing First Superbike win, at Daytona in 1976, then won ?Superbike Championship? for the full year Only model with Del?Orto carburetors *Visual Differences For the 1974 R90S Compared to Later Model Year R90Ss:* The ?74 had many nice features compared to later R90Ss, the main driver being to keep down costs. This was never stated but note the differences from ?74 to later, many are cheaper alternatives. But these changes are not easy to note, one really must look hard to notice the differences. /5 handlebar controls, in looks only; the wiring was unique for this year and different from the previous /5 models Aluminum gas cap, later chrome casting Smaller diameter front axle Aluminum turn signal bodies Hand levers curved with finger detents, anodized, they naturally turn purple with age Seat was ?smooth?, fewer indentations compared to later Chromed right rear lower shock mount, an acorn nut Speedo/tach read ?0? for neutral, later ?NEUTRAL? Five position ignition switch versus three later Carb to airbox clamps had dull finish, later were chromed Smooth swingarm black plastic covers, later crinkle finished Brake master cylinder diameter went from 16 to 17 mm for ?76 Brake caliper went from 38 to 40 mm for ?76 Tape stripes (wallpaper), painted stripes came in ?75 & ?76 Mirror stalks smaller diameter and curved (more elegant) White line around the speedo and tach glass diameter, inside the glass Solid discs, later drilled in a 3/2 pattern then 2/2 pattern More chrome fasteners than later Last year for kick starter being standard Some early fairings had two holes in the bottom as access for removing the headlight bezel Early throttle tubes were bent, later were straight Later transmission cases had exterior ?lines? added for strength, getting ready for the 1,000 cc engine Early front axles had one pinch bolt versus 2 later Horns had a chrome center, later flat black Not all these ?visuals? were strictly for the ?74 model as ?running changes? were the norm. As parts were used up newer style parts were installed. Sometimes? NOTES: There is no such thing as ?always? or ?never? in the R90S world. As soon as you say that, it always seems an exception pops up. Even when an original owner says, ?I picked up my R90S from the dealer, so I know mine is how it came from the factory.? What about transit damage? Did the dealer alter the bike or fix a problem before turning it over to the original owner? Did the dealer swap parts to please another customer? Is your memory that good after 45 years? How many owners has your bike had? After the Superbike win at Daytona in 1976 on Daytona Orange bikes, it is documented that some customers had dealers take off their TT Silver Smoke parts and install Daytona Orange parts. So maybe your Daytona Orange bike was originally TT Silver Smoke? BMW ?might? be able to verify that as some records were lost. And because the current O-fish-ul BMW parts fiche says so (say at Max BMW), that is NOT necessarily how BMW assembled R90Ss originally. And BMW made numerous other running changes to the starter, alternator, trans, front end, really everywhere. The ?76 model is thought of as the best example since it had all the upgrades. The transmission in the ?74 model: Oak Okelson?s frank advice was to swap it out for the trans from a later year as it was not a good transmission, however many are fixed and soldier on. When BMW employees first saw the Daytona Orange color they referred to it derisively as ?egg yoke?. Which color is the best? TT Silver Smoke is Elegant, and Daytona Orange is Stunning, per Rob & Mac J SO: Daytona Orange for going to the beach, TT Silver Smoke for the opera J Some R90Ss had cloisonn? (enamel) emblems, some did not. Early fairings had two holes in the bottom for access to remove the headlight bezel. R90Ss came with 3 keys; metal, with large black round fob, folding gray plastic. The very last of the R90Ss had flush gas caps like the /7 models, and for years replacement gas tanks had flush caps, which upset owners. Upgrades to consider: R75 rear drive w/matching R75 speedo & tach (better acceleration), 14 mm brake master cylinder with 40 mm calipers (optimal braking ratio), 1,000 cc kit from Siebenrock, Nikasil coating of cylinders from Powerseal USA, trans ?shift kit?, ?cush drive? driveshaft, chrome plated stainless spokes for longevity and originality, higher output alternator (up to 600 watts), kick starter, Nippondenso starter motor (stronger, less draw), Kat Dash instrument lights, but of course the sky is the limit. The R90S almost did not see the light of day; Bob Lutz is considered the Father of the R90S, see the book ?BMW R90S? by Ian Falloon, page 33.

It just came in today and the SuperTech Coordinator, Ed Caporello will provide Hanna with the proper info after SuperTech. Enjoy this benefit. Due to space limitations in my vehicle, the Airstore products available at SuperTech will not include T-shirts in sizes small through 2XL. I will have a quantity of 3 & 4XL T?s. Thanks to those who preordered, they will get what they desire. Last minute additions can be handled by 10 AM Friday. David Hello Ed, You very well may not see this email until after 2019 SuperTech as I am sure you are very busy coordinating for the exciting weekend ahead. The way Bob?s BMW has supported the club in the past was with a year-long 10% off coupon for all attendees. We are happy to do this again for 2019. The discount can be applied to all regularly priced parts and accessories, including parts on service RO?s (should you do-it-yourselfers decide you want a little assistance!) through February 3, 2020. You can use it all year long, as many times as you like. In year?s past, I?ve been provided names and email addresses of all attendees so that I can enter them into our system and automatically apply the discount to everyone?s account so they can shop and save hassle free throughout the year. If you can send that info to me, I will get everyone set up and send an email with instructions to everyone so they can take advantage of the savings. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! Hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks Hanna -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
