Left side valves adjusted. Just washed the valve cover gasket. Reassembling and starting on the right side as soon as the reply button is pressed. Edit/update: Pre-adjustment, the right cylinder was quite noisy and I expected a bunch of slop on the valve. Started with the left cylinder...

6400mi Mine looks similar.

I can deal with ads but the annoying ones that you can't close out of or have a conspicuously impossible to hit/find "x" is a bit much. Damn ad at the top of my screen takes up 20% of my browser screen. I'll pay next month's hosting fee, just make the bad ads begone.

Eww....wtf?

I have a cheap knockoff crash bar. Basically a knockoff of the BMW engine guard....in black. I can really bottom out the pegs to the point where they are folded up. Under special circumstances that I am not quite sure how to replicate exactly, I have been able to brush my crashbar on the ground...

I put a protective film on my driving lights. The stuff I got was actually quite thick and has held up quite well. No matter what brand you use, I suggest you remove the bezel of the light before application. Makes installation a ton easier, hides your edges, and secures the film around the...

Got home from work a little early. I want to ride the bike to work tomorrow. Currently at 5995 miles and I guess cant go past 6000 without changing the engine and trans oil. Swapped in the DNA filter and bracket while I was there. Filter was dirty, trans oil was sparkley, engine oil was dark...

I've rubbed both sides of my engine guard maneuvering around. Most recently was two days ago when I made u-turn out of my parking spot on the side of a residential road. I dunno if this ebay engine guard will completely save the bike if ever falls, but it's held up to some light scuffs. Also...

Fabbed up a couple brackets to give the saddle bag support bracket something to bolt to now that the exhaust brackets are gone. Had her all naked like an R18 Pure for a few days. Now she's back to full dress.

Edited for more context.... I haven't even put servo buddies on mine. I removed the servos and drilled out the stock exhaust around july of 2023. I just taped up the plug for the servo and the servo itself now resides on a shelf. No warning lights have appeared.

Slip-ons, bags, windshield, and sissy bar are off. Shorties are on. Lots of noise...reminds me of of my my 4cylinder TJ with a cherry bomb 15 years ago. It's fun, but definitely not a long term exhaust situation. Wife definitely hates not having the sissy bar backrest. If I want to keep the...

I disabled the servos and drilled out the baffles. There is a difference...but not much. At speed, I can clearly hear the engine ticking away like a sewing machine. If you are curious and have access to some torx bits, the exhaust on the classic is only held together by 2 screws (chrome cover)...

I went from floorboards to pegs on my 22 classic. Kickstand size doesn't really change...there is a boss/rubber bumper near the foot of the kickstand that isn't shared between the peg and floorboard models. The only difference between peg equiped r18s and floorboard equiped kickstands are minor...

DK Design has a youtube video on the install process of these risers. The brackets are to relocate the brake and clutch lines. As to the teardrop and two bolts on the side of the riser....I am also curious what they are used for. It has to be cosmetic because I can't fathom what they could...

Flappers have been disconnected since last season. Even drilled out the my Classic's stock pipes. When I was doing all that work last year, I took it out before I finished drilling the holes. Both slip ons were off and I needed a new hole saw. I smoked the Milwaukee hole saw i was using and...
