    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    To be clear, I wouldn't expect you to try to get the bike back to original to record a 'before and after'. I think just a video of you backing the bike up on a flat and/or inclined surface with the bike as is would be plenty useful. I highly doubt there is anything that firmware would do to...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Can you post a video of you using the reverse gear? Ideally, you could show the use of the reverse gear on flat ground and on an incline. That would help us compare. I just got my recall done not too long ago and they installed the relay. My bike came with the reverse gear disabled but I had...

    More engine power .

    You'll need two of course.. you don't want to throw off the balance of the bike.

    More engine power .

    What do you mean by normal? In rock mode the bike idles more lopey than the others and from what I understand the BT tune emphasizes that a bit more even. The rock mode lope is normal

    600 mile trip. Do I need oil?

    I just got my "600 mile" maintenance done.. no loss of oil. If people are saying the R18's burn oil in the first 1k mi, it's just a rumor.

    Wiring diagram

    Hmm 🤔...it seems relatively straightforward to me. The wiring diagram for the R18 is not out on the web as far as I can tell, so I chose to show you a wiring diagram for another make and model as an example. That way, you have a rough idea of what is being looked for. And yes, I think that is a...

    Speaker Subs whining after shutoff

    Any update on the issue? Just to be clear, before they did the software update, was there ever a faint tone or power-down click from the audio system upon shutoff? Also do you notice clicks or pops when powering on the bike? Click and pop suppression is actually a common feature on audio...

    Thoughts on the Chigee/Carpuride products?

    Thoughts on the Chigee/Carpuride products?

    Thanks again for the feedback all. I decided to get the Carpuride W702 Pro while it was on super-sale during February. I think I got it for like ~$270. Going to install it soon and hopefully have it up and running by the weekend.

    Roctane removable passenger backrest

    Yeah I think the B and TC stuff might have similar fitment but not the base and Classic trims. I just checked with Hornig about their removable sissybar and it unfortunately doesn't fit with the Roctane. My message: Hornig's Reply: If someone finds such a product that fits or a sound and...

    Exhausts

    @Boiled Octopus I definitely hear you..need moar grunt! +1 on the Jekill and Hyde system. One of the R18s I test rode had it installed and it sounded great on the wide open setting. Definitely not the loudest pipes but plenty for my taste. Of course they run around $3,500 USD without tax and...

    Thoughts on the Chigee/Carpuride products?

    Haha could you imagine the headline on that one? “Rider dies on I-95 watching Youtube video titled ‘10 ways you’re not riding to stay alive’” Anyway, I figured it might be a good idea to get cameras given how people drive around us in the U.S., you know? @Rambler358 any thoughts on camera...

    Thoughts on the Chigee/Carpuride products?

    Your plans for death are your own.. now when it comes to video quality of the cameras that come with the some of these kits, I'm interested. In fact, good way to catch someone trying to kill you on the road 😂 I saw a youtube review on the model you two have (Carpuride 603; specifically the kit...
