    I’ve driven in heavy rain and hail. IMO the TC has very good weather protection.

    Jack/Lift for the R18?

    I opted for this lift which works just fine with the X518: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002MFS8QY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

    R18 B & Transcontinental TFT firmware update?

    If the bike’s under warranty they should update the software if you give them a reason - “My TFT navigation keeps disconnecting”. That said I just had my software updated:

    Connecting to the auxiliary ignition (switched) live / power supply on the left side

    For anyone interested, I’ve confirmed the red and yellow wire is the one for switched power.

    Connecting to the auxiliary ignition (switched) live / power supply on the left side

    Can anyone confirm that the red and yellow wire going into the plug would be the correct wire to tap into for switched power?

    Connecting to the auxiliary ignition (switched) live / power supply on the left side

    @widu13 - TLDR, Would it be possible just to tap into the switched wire going into the plug? And if so, what would be the correct wire to do that?

    Question Connected App issues after reverse fix

    There were software updates done to the bike as part of the recall fix. Try deleting all your connections from the bike, and also the Bluetooth connection to your bike on the phone. Also delete all pairings from your headset. Make sure your headset only pairs to the bike and not your phone. Then...

    New Android Auto/Carplay unit

    Give SiriusXM - you should still be able to hear something even though you’re not subscribed.

    New Android Auto/Carplay unit
