You may be right…. But BMW beware (if you read this)…… those stock Michelin tires make this super-premium machine feel and sound like a low grade copy-clone. If indeed you (BMW) are saving money on those delivery tires… they are no doubt costing you a fortune in lost sales. Never had a bike...

Yes, I was wondering about that tire noise. That weird ‘roar’ when you change road surfaces. I absolutely hate it and almost dissuaded me from buying the bike. Dealer could not figure out where it was coming from. Thanks! Clarity. Finally. Why is BMW mounting a super noisy tire?Changing to...

Yes, it has really become the most unbelievably unnecessarily complex process, only because BMW for some unfathomable reason decided to use different light ($140 each) (two pins) Red-Red where they do not use the outside ring and a European three pin (Amber-Red). Though both versions have four...

The R18T TC rear lights have have two fields. A center field (used in the US, and red) surrounded by a red ring. (not used in the US). The US version has two pins connected to 4 cables running. (ground plus brake/rear-light/indicator). The European version has the center field in...

Achieved the change via the dealer. About 70 euros. Switched from miles to Euros. Speedometer also changed. Now my problem is how to change the rear lights. Need to be separated into red and amber. Dealer does not have a solution

Agreed. After 30 years BMW, 20 of which waiting for the R18, that would have made me shift to Harley.

Oil change is pretty easy. 10 min. There are already good videos on that. BMW will sell you the right filter adapter.

Does anybody have any experience in removing / replacing the rear indicators on a TC

Worse, in the Euro version of the bike you can just change it in ‘settings’. The option does not exist in the US version…. Odd oversight… as if US customers would never tour Mexico or Canada

the dealer says they can do it. Will cost about €60. I contacted the people at GS-911. They said they could not

My 1200CL is still going strong 20 years on. She is standing shiny and well next to her new sister, a R18TC. These cruisers are special. Did a long tour to Denmark from Spain, 2 up. All good

And no, they insist that the lights be changed from RED to AMBER

Correct. I was able to order the lights here in Spain (€145 each) (what would have been wrong with just a simple light bulb….) Anybody have any suggestion / instruction as to how to swap these out? Deconstructing the whole luggage?

They reported back: NO

Does anybody have experience changing the rear indicator lights on a TC. To meet EU standard I must mount orange/amber instead of the current red

Speaking to my local dealer. Looks like it is something only they are empowered to do.

Thanks. Maybe it will turn out to be a dealer thing…. Perhaps a GS-911 ‘has the power’

I do have the motoscan app. It allows me to reset the service after an oil change. But no possibility to change units

Thank you for the photos. I see that you have a ‘Speed’ option under the Units menu. (Looking at your speedometer it looks like you have a European version. Mine is US and does not give me that menu option
