Compared the crankcases of R51/3 and R51/2.

Compared the crankcases of R51/3 and R51/2

Totally different!

ダイナモを分解してみた

DCダイナモを分解してみたところ、本来あるはずのダイナモトップカバー内のカーレント及びボルテージレギュレーターがないではないかっ!

しかしよく考えてみれば、こんな狭いスペースに機械式のレギュレーターをよく組み込んだものだ…。ドイツ人、恐るべし!

I removed all the parts from the frame, Huh? something is different!? When comparing with my former R51 (restored 10 years ago)…

R51 has adopted EZ steer for triple tree of front fork to set the sidecar.

EZ steer (triple tree)

It has special structure that more you turn the steering, the trail length decreases.
Normal triple tree shaft is parallel to the fork, but the upper part of R51/2 is a little tilted as can be seen in the picture.
The reason is...

I can’t remove the shaft of the plunger suspension of the rear!
It may cause damage to the frame by warming with burner, so I hold it as a last resort.

At first, I sprinkled lubricant and leave it overnight but it didn't work.

I removed the speedometer nacelle!

There are indicator lamps (battery charge light and neutral indicator light) on R51/3, but not on R51/2.
The main switch is almost as same as R51.
