    Service Warning Light

    I use the OBDlink MX+ and Motoscan. Motoscan app requires that you buy the license to be able to reset the indicator. The OBDlink MX+ has come in handy for other vehicles as well as the bike. Just had to use different software like FORscan with them.

    Oil recommendations.

    I use LiquiMoly. I just did my annual service and the oil removed from the bike was almost as clean as what went in. My old truck is going to love it!

    How To Transcontinental and Bagger Battery Replacement

    I replaced the battery in my 2023 Transcontinental today. Thought I'd share my experience with others. 1. I bought a Yuasa GYZ32HL. I chose this because Yuasa is a high quality battery and the GYZ32HL has more capacity in the exact same dimensions. 2. The R18 does not need battery programming...

    The haters´ magnifying glass

    As much as we like our bikes, when we get objective, the R18 has a lot of challenges when compared to similar models from HD and Indian. The ergos on the R18 are simply atrocious compared to an EG Ultra. I've said before, the R18B and TC target the Street Glide. In that vein, ergos often get...

    Tc seat

    I don't think the TC seat is all day comfortable. It's good for a couple hours and I'm looking for a break. I've read that the Russel day long seats are the way to go. I'm not riding as much lately so, I don't think I'll upgrade, but that's the way I'd go if I did.

    Ride from Charleston SC to Wheels Through Time

    Did plenty of trail braking. In very tight curves the 1800 will not spin up or wind down fast enough in ROLL to adjust. When I need to power out of an apex, I need it NOW. Rock mode fixes that. Leaving in rock mode all the time destroys fuel economy and I don't relish having a fuel concern...

    Ride from Charleston SC to Wheels Through Time

    Ride report... It was a great ride and got to spend some time getting to know my neighbor better. He was riding a Yamaha V Star 950. While riding the smoky mountain twisties is always fun, the weather did not cooperate once we got to North Carolina. Attacking tight mountain roads that are WET...

    Is it possible to reset service warning

    This worked flawless for me today! I was using the OBDLink MX+ with Motoscan Pro on a Motorola Edge Plus 2022. I've had the OBDLink for about a year and a half but have never used it until today. I did have to do a firmware update using the OBDLink app. Otherwise it was slick as goose poop.

    One more gripe re: BMW Motorrad Connected app...

    "Still glitchy after all these years ..." There's a song in there somewhere...I just can't find it on my Connected App

    Anybody using the BMW Rear Bag Black 27L?

    Not that it helps, but I found that the trunk liner from my Victory Vision sits perfectly on the passenger seat of my TC. And it holds A LOT.

    The positive things thread

    I bought the R18 TC because it was a rolling piece of art. It's simply beautiful. 1. Fit and finish are outstanding. I think it's better than Harley Davidson (except for paint; no one beats HD paint) 2. I was really surprised by the excellent wind management. Just looking at the bike, you might...
