You can buy Domino or Ariete replacement grips for around 30 Euro. Then you need to cut the current grips gently ( there is a heating element underneath ) and put a new grips. I did it on my GS and also on my FE. Just look for ''BMW replacement grips'' and then go to Youtube, you'll find several...
Hi,
I did it in opposite way. Swapped from pegs to boards. You will need to replace the whole assembly - pegs and also brackets as they are slightly different. One of them are lower if i remember it correct. Not sure how the side stand will fit in your case, but stand was hitting the boards when...
There is a cable under the left side panel for aux equipment which you can use. Another option is to take it from charging socket on the left side. Wunderlich is offering Y split cable with proper connectors. The only problem is that those cables are getting live few seconds after the engine is...
I can add my experience from Europe. I found out that something was going on only thanks to this forum and started to dig deeper. That was in January 2025. Everyone acted like they were hearing it for the first time, including the CZ BMW dealership.
It was only through a BMW mechanic I knew that...
I have the experience with Wunderlich rev counter. It was stuck on 3500 when rain penetrated inside. I was close to buy a new one but then i found that it can be recalibrated by powering on and off. It slowly moved back to zero and it's ok again. Not sure if this can help you. If it is under...
Hello, i got the info from BMW service that final drive is slightly overfilled from factory. I had the same issue and they fixed it during last visit. They just put lower amount of oil.
Hello Krzysztof, sorry for delay, i missed your question. You can drill it, but difference would not be any dramatic by my opinion. Even with baffle fully removed the sound is deeper than fishtails, but still decent. For me it sounds like stock Harley now. With DNA air filter, flaps fully open...
Hi, one remark to the crash bars.
I had the same ones and i ''tested'' them when my new rear tyre slipped on the corner. They worked and saved mufflers, but downpipe cover and also valve cover were scratched because bar bended when bike fall on the road. Roland Sands valve trim was scratched...
HI Prees. Happy New Year and many miles :) The rear fender is RockBob from Wunderlich, right? May i ask you what is your experinece in bad, rainy weather? I am thinking about bobber tail also, but i am still shilly-shally between Wunderlich ( which have pinstripes and it's nice) and BMW oem kit...
You are absolutely right. Yesterday i called to "my BMW service" again and they said that i have to bring the bike to them whenever i can and they will disable the reverse gear unit. I will get a voucher for 1K Euro as a compensation. I just don't understand why it was not communicated to the...
I spoke to BMW Motorrad Czech yesterday and let's say that direct answer was bit foggy. They asked me to send an email to customer support email adress and wait for reply. So no clear answer in the way "Yes, there is a need or no you don't need to be afraid" I am waiting for official reply. But...
Hi everyone. I was checking this recall and it seems to be unclear. Officially it's related only to US market, only because of different weather conditions in the region and VIN checker have said there is no open recall for my bike. This is not really matching to the statement "all bikes with...
Might be, i am not sure if drive light is dimmed during start. I am using day light and automatic switching to driving light.
But i had this problem on my Triumph Speed Triple, where the main light is dual and it's turned on with main ignition switch. I had to install time delay relay, because...
R18 have various options for lights. Daylight or driving light. Might be that your bike is set to use driving light in prior and the Amp consumption goes up during starting. LED main unit can be switched off to save more Amps for starter and main ECU can then evaluate it as a broken bulb. BMW...
Hi and welcome. I am using MotoScan app in my mobile phone. It's worth to purchase profi licence. It doesn't cost a fortune and you can use it for several BMW models (i have GS1200 and R18) Then you will need UniCarScan UCSI-2000 bluetooth adapter. I've bought it as a bundle with BMW data cable...
Have you checked the setting for original? I was annoyed with original till i found that BMW did not adjusted the preload...it was set for transportation = fully open.
I've set the preload to my usual weight with side bags and it's incomparable
Hello Don,

Pin 1 - brown - tail light ground
Pin 2 - blue with green - right turn signal
Pin 3 - black with white - left turn signal
Pin 4 - blue with brown - 12V (+) for...
