Ok, not to geek out.... But. On this video he shows Hypoid Axle Oil G3 SAE70-80 GL-5 But... On this thread a post states: "G3" sounds like a spec for a particular type of oil, but it is not. It just the name of one company's (BMW) gear oil. API GL-5, 70w-80 or 75w-90, LS or non-LS...

Learning how to do 600 mile service on 23 R18 Classic. Watching a vid the guys uses GL3. Does it have to be GL3? The only GL3 I can find is BMW OEM at a ridic. price of $57. :( GL5 way more affordable. See below

Feel my pain!... Im about to mask off everything around these fugly red wires and hit them with a, shot of black spray paint. Doesn't seem like it'd adhere to be the best solution.. but black electrical tape would eventually dry and lose stickyness too.Any suggestions?

So I see the vids and pdfs for 6000 mi. service. But Im at the 600. What specifically is done for the 600 miles thats supposedly far less than the 6k? I want to try and save at least some cash doing whatever I can with limited resources: tools/equip I have.

Because, since it's been the same profile picture since day ONE I don't know why you're bringing up the pic now? And in the middle of thread (vs DM) that has to do with R18 service. Thus I thought your comment was in relation "CA unfortunately" My bad. My misunderstanding for lack of clarity...

Bait much? Who just made it about politics? Project much? :ROFLMAO: Perhaps my "Unfortunately CA" had nothing to do with politics? Rather (and truthfully) --the "Unfortunate" I was referring to was relating to the DISTANCE from him. I love CA for the record. While most the country is freezing...

Yes! AND that they be service interval specific. 600 mi / 6000 mi etc. That'd be awesome for those of us with a preference to not pay dealer's padded and often gouging prices. These scammy people charge $190. an hour and more than once in the very short time I've dealt with them caught...

The idea of saving all that money is appealing... how about I pay to have you make a DIY video. :) 😁

Pretty darn kind of you sir. But Im in CA unfortunately.

Got my 600 check up scheduled. They quote 2 hours... $450. For a check up!!? Whats up with that?! Seems a bit pricey for a once over.

Hope you don't mind... made a clearer copy to help :)

This is one by @Star-Lord https://www.r18forums.com/threads/recall-on-all-models-with-reverse.3500/post-50527 And these cables found by @BigJimSlim https://a.co/d/ilmXBGW i think there's talk of a video tutorial... 🤞

It's looking that way for me too... Mine didn't come with an alarm option so I opted to get that plus a nice rear fender luggage rack to replace the back seat. And now that I found the directions to reconnect here I'm pretty happy. There's rarely any rain here in LA and I won't ride in it if...

Hope he's right. Yes - please post! Can't wait to see em.

So I checked with the dealer's service manager today. He said no fix is in and nothing on the horizon. When I pressed him he said it may likely end up never happening, that I might have to settle for the $1K credit. That kinna p*sses me off --having reverse was a main selling point feature of...

The sign up list thus far: 1. @NAK58D 2. @physiqo 3. @Witsend 4. @iamtheJwalker 5. @2litsTranscontinental 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25.

For a running tally, seems like if the new signer-uppers copy paste the sign up list as it stands so far. And adding your/their name to it... ? And repeat for following additions

HD owners are insanely jealous. I kid you not --I go to a weekly meeting where a lot of HD motos park... without fail, and I'm talking every week, the R18 is the one everyone gathers around. Then I see a couple people break off and talk to the HD owers because they feel bad and give them...

I haven't tried it YET... but....

Seems like the R18 has so much unrealized potential. You'd think an 1800cc could go 120 - 130. mph. If the improvements aren't all that much, I'll wait... seems like a luxury item. I wrote Brentune and sent them this link. Maybe more can be done -- or maybe they did all they could(?) IDK.
