How many of us are there?

[beemeerr11]

Is there any figures on how many of each year model were ever made?

I'm led to believe that my 1981Rh VIN 5N5000242 were only ever 900 made?

What about 1978 - 1981?

Here's a thread where we all entered Serial numbers, trying to answer that question.

Hi Beemeer,
Not sure how many were made, but my R's engine number finishes
at 995 compliance plate built 83 and my 81 model 169, Auxian another member has the last one built being 999.

I have two in the shed right now, mine is 5n5 000740, the other 5n5 000516.
516 has a couple of issues to put it politely

What I'd like to know.. is how many of us there are here at Channel 11 that are active members.. Say.. posted in the last month or two. I see that there are over 5k registered members.. but many of those don't visit or post.


Not meaning to steal your thread, I had just thought this was what you'd be asking when I clicked on it.. Sorry.

Maybe a CH11 roll call should be done to see how many active members we have?

Jonah? That must be an Aussie term??

The 5th gear issue may be a shift pawl problem. If you remove the shift pawl cover, you'll see where it engages a rotating shaft. There are pins in the end of the shaft, held in by a metal plate with tabs sticking out from it. When the tabs break off, the pins fall out, and you loose the ability to shift into that gear. I had the exact same problem when I first got my bike, and it's a super simple fix, once you get the parts (new retaining plate, and new pin). I later found the missing pin down in the oil pan when I did the 2nd gear fix.

Hey Tod,

I just went to the Member's List, then SEARCH, and then ADVANCED, and just put in the last post date of 2009-05-18 and before date of 2009-07-18..the requested format, and it showed 492 members! But I think even this number is inflated, due to several are relatively new members just posting in the bikes for sale or parts for sale forums!? But that's still almost 10%, pretty decent for a group like this if you ask me!

I am one of those people that don't post, at least it has been awhile.

I do however read all the posts.
Never know when ya might learn something new from others.
