    BMW R18 Recall/STOP SALE alert

    BMW R18 Recall/STOP SALE alert

    I took my bike in today for its 600 mile service and was informed that BMW has placed a STOP order on sales of the R18. The campaign number is OSTOP310001. Steering head screw. No further information was available at this time. The dealership didn’t have any idea as this is the only R18 the...

    Setting the proper preload for the rear suspension

    Glad I could help. I’m 260lbs and I found that playing with it a little makes a difference. I added about 1.5 turns to the setting and that seemed to do the trick for me.

    New seat

    Glad I could help. Now that you have the pillion seat removed, I have the plugs that go where the passenger footpegs go so you can remove them for a cleaner look. They are in the classified section.

    Rider Magazine review

    I own both a BMW R1200C and an R18. Neither has a Fuel level indicator. The R1200C light comes on and you start looking for a gas station. Even if that means coasting down the side of the Great Smokey Mountains to try and conserve anything you have in the tank. (Been there did that)... The...
