Hi

Is it possible to renovate the windshield engine of a K11LT.
The inner bussin are stuck on the engine rotor.

Yes
Took it apart, cleaned, lubricated, adjusted, assembled and tested.
Only trick was to clamp the rotor in a wise and then tap out the gear housing.
And aslo the trick with using a thin flexible wire to hold back the collector coal while assembling the engine.
Runs as new ( nearly ) now.
Time 1-2 hours on a working bench with good light....and patient.

As a new K75RT owner with the electric windshield option I am glad to see this - the whole concept of power windows on a bike is a bit intimidating to me

What lubricant did you use?

Hi Ted.
We used wather resisting greese for boats and snowmobiles.
And same wather resisting greese for the windshield sliders.

I think most guys use White Lithium grease Ted.

What BMW recommends and what I use on the sliders is spray silicone. Its very slick and does not attract dust like other lubricants do.

I use Tri-Flo, the same stuff I use on my bicycle. I use it to clean the sliders and lube them.
