    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Yeah, it’s a pickle for sure. I don’t often use the reverse, but I’m happy to have the option. The struggle is in understanding how impactful the issue is. No one on the forum has seen failure due to moisture (at least no one who has been vocal). There have been some reporting mechanical...

    Upgrading to DNA Stage 2 Filter requires ECU flash remapping?

    I don't think you'll get a check engine light. I did as much reading here before I did the filter and no one mentioned a CEL, so I expect you'll be good to go.

    Upgrading to DNA Stage 2 Filter requires ECU flash remapping?

    As I understand it, the R18 has wide band O2 sensors and is capable of “auto tuning” to accommodate the change in air filter and mod to airbox. I’ve done 3000 miles on my changed filter without issue. I did also mod with the BT tune, but that wasn’t due to changing the filter.

    comfort turn indicator issue

    $1350 cdn. Northern neighbors with their loonies and twonies.

    comfort turn indicator issue

    finding that since having my tft firmware updated that my selection for Comfort Signals to be "on" keeps resetting itself to off when the bike is off for what seems like longer than a fuel up. It also defaults back to full screen, rather than prior to the update where I could do the...

    R 18 Bagger To K 1600 B

    I've been drawn into the youtube rabbit hole of moto videos lately, particularly those regarding Goldwing reviews. Look, I certainly don't count myself an old man, but whoa boy, the new Wings seem to have it all. Watched a few guys do a head-to-head with the K1600 and it seems for the person...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    The cold is settling in here in the mid-west USA, so I won’t rush into a shop anytime soon. Hopefully there’s something permanent by the time the weather starts to break in spring.

    BMW Motorrad Gear Recommendations?

    Dang, these are actually 40% off right now so I’m searching for reviews. The website says they’re deer skin and doesn’t mention being waterproof, so I wonder if they’ve changed in the two years since you had them. I’ll probably pass, though I am tempted.

    What's the jacket of choice for your R18?

    The Revit Trench (linked HERE). Just picked one up on this close out sale. Eager to actually wear it! I got it to layer up more comfortably in cold weather than with my leathers. Bonus that this thing is gore-Tex and fully waterproof, and includes a removable thermal liner. Has some venting for...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    There are certain parameters to be eligible under lemon laws and they vary by state. There are usually conditions around number of repair attempts and/or time out of service within a certain period after purchase that must be met to qualify. Further, some states (like Michigan, for instance)...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Interesting that they’d take the wiring! Do you know if there’s an ECU update along with this? Or just a physical modification?

    comfort turn indicator issue

    That’s the Harley set up, signal switches on either side. I’m more used to the single siders, but appreciate the two side setup.

    New Windshield for R-18b/t

    Did some decent miles last week with it. It’s mostly awesome, but I had some cross winds that did shoot up and gave me the experience you had with the vibrations. That was intermittent, with most the ride just being pretty sedate and comfortable. While it’s not making me invincible to the air...

    comfort turn indicator issue

    Yep. And dumb that it’s even something you can toggle. I don’t know scenarios where anyone would rather it be manual on and off.

    ACC retrofit

    The trouble I found in moto groups is one, were mostly on back country surface streets. While not a lot of stops once we’re far enough out, there are enough. And two, the speed of the group fluctuates so much that cruise is useless. I’m sure if we were doing a lot of expressway miles it’d be...

    ACC retrofit

    First person I’ve ever heard say this! As a person who does a fair bit of highway driving, it’s been amazing to have on my cars.

    Battery tender

    Does your bike have a pig tail connection off the battery? Many dealers will add that as they set up the bike. I use that for my tender on all three of my bikes and never had an issue. If you get a Battery Tender Jr or whatever it’s called, it comes with a connector to mate with the pigtail.

    I’m riding a B, so perhaps the functionality is different from whatever you’re on.

    comfort turn indicator issue

    I got mine back from the headlight recall and had to re-select the comfort option. I then noticed it de-selected itself after that initial ride. Seems it’s holding on now, but that’s been my only issue with it. I wonder if you toggle it off and on a couple times if it resolves itself. Seems...
