I agree. Unless the bike is no longer for you because of health, practicality or other factors, I would stick with it. It is one of a kind, timeless, reliable, dependable and capable cruiser. It may even go up in value in a few years due to its uniqueness and low numbers. I like a few bikes out...

Well done.

Awesome first edition B. There is little else needed but of course, it is down to personal preferences. The only thing I did to mine was to add the wind deflectors on the batwing and that got rid of 90% of the turbulence. They are not the OEM ones, they were from EBay 😁

Not sure I followed the first bit but did you mean you use the red emergency kill switch whilst the bike still rolling, i.e, moving? The way I stop my engine is by pressing the power button situated on the right handlebar control cluster. By then I have already entered my garage, came to full...

Welcome aboard and congratulations on your bike. Way different to the super smooth K engines. The R18 shakes like a wet dog and has a distinctive valves song, but it is part of the package and self induced and I really like it (some may not 😂😂😂) Anyway, post a picture of your B when you get a...

Just a thought as the failure to start up first time has been discussed previously on other topics. All the points flagged here are valid but I believe that if the above were the root cause, then it would affect all R18 engines. Now, for those having issues starting the bike either hot or cold...

Welcome aboard and congratulations on your new bike.

This is what I do. With the bike upright, as long as the oil is anywhere inside the red circle then you are good to go. I use the mobile phone to take a video in case the camera does not take an accurate picture because I don’t have a bike stand. Overfilling the engine with oil is not a good...

10.7K miles, fully stock. Never had a single issue.

@u20251009 I have been very fortunate to have enjoyed 3 years of trouble free biking with my R18. We have E10 (10% ethanol) fuels here in the UK but I exclusively use Shell V Power E 5 as this is the one I consider to be the best available fuel. I use my bike to commute 3 days a week on...

Another culprit could be the charcoal canister. The charcoal canister is part of the EVAP system, which recycles fuel vapors from the gas tank. If the canister is clogged or cracked, it can't do its job, leading to an improper air-fuel mixture in the engine, which can cause a no-start condition...
