    Reverse gear recall problem

    I use it every time I return from riding, without any issues; I had a little bit of a learning curve adjustment during the first week or two of ownership, everything was well documented within the owners manual. Best tip - remove the stress weight of the bike before switching out of Reverse...

    R18 oil leak

    Did you measure out the 1.15 L or did you "eye it up" to the fill hole, when you last changed the transmission fluid?

    Adaptive Headlight Recall Update

    It's a good looking bike... That new technology jump screen wise certainly makes it an appealing bike; however, the price kills the deal for me..

    BMW R18 TC Leg Shield / removal / install

    See an earlier post where I tried to detail the three pieces and the assembly & disassembling of the Lower Leg Wind Protection; in short, remove the bottom screw which ties into the engine protection bar. Next, pull piece No. 3 apart as it is held in by friction clips, that will expose the...

    R18 TR top case removal?

    If you already have your top case removed, it should be pretty straightforward on trying to match the resistance of the brake light with a simple resistor; however, you'll need a Volt-Ohm meter. Not sure if the brake light is a two wire or three wire system? One of the wires will be ground...

    Just installed a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery

    1911Tex can do it the way he described... However, I would definitely recommend wearing brown pants... For those who have accidentally performed some welding on their car's fender and or motorcycle frames, using a battery and a socket wrench knows - why the brown color garments are...

    Just installed a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery

    Always remove the Negative ( - ) terminal first when working on your battery; as soon as the Negative side is disconnected, you remove the risk or hazard of a short condition if you were to accidentally touch the frame of the bike with your rachet, while removing the Positive ( + ) terminal. If...

    Spring Strut Adjustment Faulty!

    How'd the ride feel, did the bike feel like it was bottoming out; perhaps, did you have any extra luggage and such on the bike? Definitely keep us all posted (Model B and TC owners); I went for a ride this past Sunday and the roads were pretty rough with potholes and such, but the bike's...
