I don't think that my throttle assembly is the correct one

Post by Micha »

I bought my R51/3 with it but have the feeling that its not the original one for this model.
I'm ok with it and will keep it of course but would like to know what model it came from.
I know it is made by Magura.
There's also a closeup in the last picture with a destroyed thread, will be happy to know why it is there for.
Thanks - Michael

Thanks Tommy.

Well that’s an interesting problem I’m facing here.
I need a new front brake cable but in this case I’m not sure at all that the correct part number will fit her.

It's from the /5 series BMW after 1969
about the front brake cable you must do it yourself
i mean buy one with open end.

I agree it's from a /5 series. There was a thumb screw on the bottom to add friction, an early manual cruise control.
