210 pages and more than 350 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the August 1969 BMW factory workshop manual part number 01 51 9 099 051. This manual is applicable to all 1969 through 1973 BMW R50/5 R60/5 and R75/5 motorcycles. At the time of Floyd's unexpected demise in 1970, there were a number of manuals that had been completed and were ready for publication. This BMW motorcycle manual is one of those previously unpublished, Floyd Clymer publications. Dated August 1969, this manual was obviously intended to be a 'follow up' from his previous 1967 BMW R50 & R26 series manual. The original 1969 'proof' copy that was included in the Floyd Clymer archives was likely finalized in early 1970. However, as the BMW /5 series of motorcycles remained in production through 1973, we are pleased to present a newly prepared edition of Floyd's work as a service to all BMW motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide. Unfortunately, owners of the 1969-1973 BMW /5 series models are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality, comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years.
