Michaelr11 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm trying to identify the BMW part number or applicable year for the instrument bulbholder pictured. Note the pattern of small and large bulb openings on this one: Large - Small - Large - Small - Small, from top to bottom. Also note the 3 spades on the left side which I think connect to an electronic tach. If anyone can identify correct years I'd appreciate it. Link to comment
johnlt Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 That looks like the one in my 1985 RT. I think it was probably the same for many years Link to comment
SteveHebert Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Reference the part number on it withe the on-line fische at MAXBMW and see what you come up with. Link to comment
SteveHebert Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Part # 62111356665 Common to R60/6 /7 R75/6 /7, R90/6 /7, and R100/6 /7. Hope that helps. Link to comment
Michaelr11 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Reference the part number on it withe the on-line fische at MAXBMW and see what you come up with. The part number on the circuit panel, 5 4401 126 00, is a MotoMeter part number and doesn't match a BMW part. Link to comment
Michaelr11 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Part # 62111356665 Common to R60/6 /7 R75/6 /7, R90/6 /7, and R100/6 /7. Nope... I didn't say this would be easy. That part (above) actually has a photo to go with it in the MaxBMW parts fiche. Completely different layout. As changes were made in the instrument pod, the bulb holder has gone through many changes in it layout. I have an R60/6, it definitely doesn't work in those bikes with cable driven tachometers. But, thanks guys I appreciate that you are looking. Link to comment
SteveHebert Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I will keep looking today. If all else fails, send Rick Jones an email. He owns Motorad Elektrik. He will know. Link to comment
lkchris Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Pretty sure it worked like this: '74-'77 (cable-operated tach) '78-'80 (electronic tach) (needles from orange to white, too) '81 on (no longer a brake fluid level warning light; high beam light moved from tach to center stack) Link to comment
