    Zard system fitting issues due to reverse gear recall mod

    I’m looking at taking the bracket off but not having a correct jack makes it tricky. The bracket (thin gauge) is fixed to the original exhaust mount bracket. I’m unsure if they have changed the spec on this as it’s a 24 as speaking to someone else, they haven’t got electrics in this place. I...

    Zard system fitting issues due to reverse gear recall mod

    Thanks for the reply but I’ve bought the bike standard and I removed the exhaust valve motors, the exhaust comes with. healtech connectors so this is something else

    Zard system fitting issues due to reverse gear recall mod

    I bought a Zard full system and have hit an issue. I have the base model 2024 and it would appear some electrics have been added since Zard made the exhaust although the Zard website shows 20-24. Fitment. The issue is the link pipe. On the installation vid it shows (although not a brilliant vid)...

    Ride height on base model

    It is obvious but road 80 miles from the dealership with zero preload! Let’s say my vertebrae won’t singing the shocks praises. 6full turns improved things substantially but it’s a pretty lifeless shock if I’m honest but will stick with it for the time being. The Wilber’s looks ideal though

    Ride height on base model

    I hadn’t considered that and it would help take a bit of the bend out of my knees

    Ride height on base model

    I like your thinking. Got a set of Zards (full system) hadn’t considered remap or filter, haven’t seen anyone doing remaps in the UK or Wilber’s shock. Ride is harsh though so could do with sorting but maybe I’m used to a manic carpet ride!

    Ride height on base model

    So new to the bike (I’m loving it) and new to this type of bike (own a GSA also). It handles surprisingly well, so well I’m getting the odd peg touchdown. I know I can change my riding style, But the bikes that capable I don’t think I need to if I could increase the ride height. Has anyone tried...

    First cruiser

    Thanks all, I’ll post some photos once I’ve started ‘playing’ with her. I hated the pipes and ordered some pro race cans but the originals are actually growing on me. Very quiet though

    First cruiser

    Yes I believe it’s a car colour. Apparently BMW UK commissioned 30 bikes, 10 of each colour

    First cruiser

    Hello from a wet Manchester UK. Just picked up my R18 base model. I was having the GSA serviced and an 18 was on display in the coffee area. I became transfixed with it. Bought a 2023 with limited paint scheme (frozen orange) only 169 miles on the clock. Done a 100 miles, and what an experience...
