    Replacements for Commander 3

    I have had great success with Dunlop Elite 4 tires on my Victory Vision. Will likely go to E4 on my TC but switch to all radial. The E4 has an 80H load rating and I'm hoping to get a bit better ride. The TC rides like a dump truck compared to my Vic.

    Tyre pressure warning

    I was riding through Congaree National Park. Nothing for miles.

    Tyre pressure warning

    Just had this happen to me yesterday!!! WTF! Like others, I pulled.over, tire was perfect and pressure magically returned to normal following a restart. The tech on this bike was supposed to be superior. Not working out that way so far. Starting to feel like this bike is exhausting all of the...

    Remove a station from Favorites list?

    Is there a way to remove a single radio station from the Favorites list on my R18 Transcontinental? The Riders manual just explains how to delete the entire list.

    Exhaust Bluing/Discoloration

    I used blue job for cleanup and it worked great as I expected. However, while cleaning, I noticed minor impact damage to both header pipes leaving small scratches and craters. This type of damage ultimately results in corrosion. Is this just something BMW R Type owners have to live with or is...

    Ending route guidance - Call up menu Navigation (menu down, right tilt, right tilt, menu down) 4 inputs Active route guidance. (menu down, right tilt) 2 inputs Select and confirm End route guidance or tilt the Multi-Controller to the left. (Left tilt did not yield this result for me. Had to...

    Read your manuals…

    I just looked ... The R18 is not listed under the Rider's Manual selection for the "R Modelle". They are listed under "Heritage". Another example of BMW being too smart for their own good.

    Read your manuals…

    Even with the huge manuals, the guidance is sorely lacking. Much of the text is obfuscated by worthless warnings. I also think these BMW techno nerds assume a lot of things should be intuitive. For them maybe.

    Phone performance for navigation

    Motorola Edge Plus 2022 fits and interfaces with the Motorrad Connected app very smoothly. Only issue I have is the same issue I have with the entire system...it's hard to make any route adjustments while riding on the bike. Simply stopping route guidance is a multi-roll/click event. The BMW...

    What's the jacket of choice for your R18?

    Xtreme Jackets I bought my last jacket from these guys. Money was tight and the jacket looks fantastic with plenty of armour. However, it weighs almost as much as I do and the leather is so stiff that I could die while riding and no one would notice for a few miles.

    What's the jacket of choice for your R18?

    I liked the Pure Boxer design but, like you, I was disappointed in the country of origin AND in the general quality of tailoring. The two brand new jackets I've looked at in dealership have had frayed stitching and loose seams. At this price, I might have been more likely to consider had it been...

    BMW MOA membership benefits?

    I've been on numerous rides lately as a guest with the local H.O.G. chapter and have thoroughly enjoyed the social experience. I would have thought I'd take some flack for the only non-HD on the rides, but folks have been nothing but positive and complimentary about my TC. I've been hesitant...

    Exhaust Bluing/Discoloration

    I am experiencing the same thing on both sides with my 2023 Transcontinental. I will be using blue job to clean it up for show, but I deal with a lot of stop/go traffic here in Chucktown, so I'm not sure if this can be permanently fixed. I'll follow up with my dealer and see if it's an issue...

    Transcontinental Seat Upgrade

    That looks great! Would you mind sharing how you had it configured and how much it cost? Looks like that could be my next seat!

    Transcontinental Seat Upgrade

    Mean City Cycles said they do not work on heated seats. They do pretty work otherwise. I'll check out the Russell. I don't think an extra inch will be a problem.
