I could not remember either.... but these days I just don't bother trying.... I just ask AI AI summary..... BMW Motorrad CEO Markus Flasch addressed the R 18 model's performance in a featured Q&A article published by RevZilla. In the interview, Flasch candidly discussed the internal...

For some reason I see you needing a women like this.....

Given most are older riders here, I would have thought most of us are calibrated for no rider aids at all. I understand taking advantage of them if they are well implemented on a particular machine, but also mindful of becoming dependent on them if riding a range of bikes. Ride modes that vary...

As a weird aside, me to. I did once ponder if the faster flame front of "lesser fossil farts" would see the R18 develop 0.7hp more at 5000rpm and above.... so I tried a tank or two. If it did I could not feel it. But, I did feel the loss down low in the rev range.... so hence forth, I have...

Yes.

You need to do a video....

So, setting aside the "women are from Venus" part..... you discovered the "dirt track" like style fun capabilities of your R18 rig! When riding my R18 (or r9t) on loose surface dirt tracks one can live within "traction" and ride like on the road but slowish at times or turn off traction...

Worth considering doing a couple of performance measurements..... say 2nd and 3rd gear 1500rpm to 4500rpm pulls.... before and after timings. Also worth noting max rpm fall off...... for me it was 4800 then DNA, end cans and bren tune 5,200 and then venting the filter area 5,500. Most...

Should I feel a bit responsible for pointing you there? ........ https://www.r18forums.com/threads/g-day-from-perth-australia.4539/post-61131

My crystal ball shows me that you will tune it. You are just in a phase where you denny the inevitability of who you are... her hero. You are the hero that will save your beloved machine from the European beaurocrats that have strangled her, with lean afr's and timing reference tables that...

Haha... I took the seat to a localish "sheepskin guy" that mostly does car seat covers. Also... here is a link to my exhaust sound on start up.

Fwiw.... I live near a salty coast in a "Mediterranean climate", now I'm 50 paces from the waters edge. I've sealed my shed and run a dehumidifier 24/7. Condensation during winter is the biggest issue here.... most condensation advice leans towards "venting" which only makes sense if the air...

Not long now.....

Bit of everything on mine... recently got the bottom emblems from MilwDave's link above.
