Yes +1.....good to see Scott back...a very valuable participant!

Suggest you put Ride-On MOTORCYCLE sealant and BALANCER in your front tire. It will quickly balance your front tire. Good idea to put it in the rear tire as well as it protects against flats. Cheapest and most effective way to hopefully solve your problem. Go to the Ride-On website to see how...

Not a single ad here.....appreciated!

Thankfully, no ads here.....

If you used PayPal, they will act as mediator for you....and if not successful, PayPal will take action against the bad guy and own up for you. I don't know if "friends and family" would terminate the PayPal mediator agreement? I guess read the rules?

I had a convertible once...I believe seagulls thought it was a toilet!

Mat: Here are the pre-load adjustment instructions in easy terms that even I can understand! Now go buy that beauty! :

This is the best summation and the most accurate by far.....Matmat....of course the final decision is yours only. Best to you Mat! Personally, if I had to make the decision to buy my R18 again...I would in a heartbeat.

The R18FE has adjustable suspension....the adjustment is based on rider/s weight....and will be the easiest and simplest thing you will ever do to your bike!

I have seen that before, including my R18 when new....can't explain it, but I believe that is BMW engineering for break-in wear patterns.

I nothing else works, call a dent remover for car doors...they come to your house...can fix the dents in your car (if you have any) and your fishtail exhaust as well.

I got a kick out of that one! Two weeks before riding and the owners manual is still in dealer package unread. I used to not read owners manuals....those times vehicles were really simple. Crank up windows and stick shift. Nowadays, so much technology, it behooves one to read the manual...

Not to fear....Had this happen on my '23 Honda Accord last month.....showed left rear tire low....checked air pressure and it was perfect. Shut down the engine, restarted and never repeated. Still perfect pressure a month later. Can happen to any vehicle.

Neighbor had a Road King years ago....Rats ate up his wiring. Yes garaged but garage door was up most of the day due to Texas summer heat. Recently ate up the wiring in his late model Toyota which was kept in the drive way. $5000+ in repairs. Mean little buggers.
