    Bye bye, BMW

    Actually, BMW dealer bought it! Didn't take much of a hit, really, and sold it much quicker than I would've had I waited for the right guy to show up here at the house.

    Bye bye, BMW

    Well gents and ladies, it’s been a wondrous 19 months of BMW R18B ownership. Alas, the bike and I have come to decide upon a conscious uncoupling. I enjoyed most all of the mere ~3800 miles I rode it and really had envisioned many more. However, the transmission toasted up, and with it my...

    What a day! - transmission done for

    Won’t know until midweek, but the shop suspects the transmission took a crap. It’s stuck in 4th or 5th gear and rolls freely in 5th. Makes a cool rattle now too!

    What a day! - transmission done for

    So long as you didn’t swap the pushrods from left to right, I’m sure you’re good.

    What a day! - transmission done for

    When they brought it back after doing the levers, I had no clutch action in the lever. Fixed that issue myself and then had some clutch chatter I wasn’t sure I heard prior. Not sure if this is directly related to the transmission pooping the bed today, but I was at about 3500 worry-free miles...

    What a day! - transmission done for

    After a couple long, cold months, I finally got the R18B back from the dealer after having them do the reverse recall and check on some noises that seemed new after having them bring it back from the reverse unwiring (long story, but they put the RSD accessory levers on and messed up the clutch...

    Warning - seat scam

    I’ve had tremendous luck on here buying from maybe four different members now. Sucks that even a niche place like this isn’t immune to bad actors.

    Clutch stoped working

    Just some shots in the dark - is the fluid reservoir full? Is there any engagement with the clutch at all? Or do you pull the lever and get nothing? I’m wondering if maybe the pushrod came out of adjustment and isn’t pressing the actuator. Being a hydraulic clutch, I’d blame the fluid before...

    TC Rear seat luggage?

    I’d run straps from the front of bag to the front mount points of the side cases and then from the rear of the bag to the rear case rack. Feel that’d get you set up well.

    TC Rear seat luggage?

    If you’re rolling solo, something like this Saddlemen bag should sit snug in the passenger spot. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/saddlemen-br4100-tactical-dresser-back-seat-bag?sku_id=1560338 They’ve got a bunch of other options and are a pretty reputable company.

    OBD scan tool

    Awesome! Just got mine back from the recall work. I hope that’s the end of the issues on this thing.

    OBD scan tool

    That will work. I’ve got the same one. Which app? You need motoscan, which is an android only app. If youre an Apple guy, you’ll need to find something with android. I bought a super cheap Amazon fire tablet and had to sideload the Google store, but it works and the total spend was like $125...

    If you're tall enough, some rubber crashbar protectors (https://www.amazon.com/GZYF-Motorcycle-Highway-Compatible-FLHTCUTG/dp/B08VWBQ9CY?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A1FS63AAGWRFVD&gQT=1) might be a cheap option. I've got a set on mine and they're nice to lay my...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Just got the bike back from the recall service! Just in time for the season to start up! The reverse works, but does anyone feel like it's slower now? I've used it so infrequently that I may just not remember, but I feel like pre-fix it was a bit fast and now it's at a good walking pace.
