From what I understand, there are ways to manipulate Dyno data. But a legit tuning company risks their reputation if they play that game. There is a Porsche tuner that is well known in that circle who does not publish Dyno data for their tunes, but they do at least give HP & Torque numbers. In...

I live in California. People forget that the original reason lane splitting was not made unlawful is because in the early days the vast majority of motorcycles on the road were air cooled. You had to keep moving to keep the motor cool. Of course, as traffic got worse lane splitting became more...

If the dealer updates the ECU, you need to send the saved software to BT Moto for an update. There is a cost. If you forgot to save the modified ECU before the dealer updates it, you have to pay a larger fee to BT Moto to relicense the reader and start from scratch. Don't make that mistake.

My dealer told me that they trusted Brentune completely and they would not void the warranty over it. They've got enough experience with it from other models that they wanted to ensure that I knew what the procedure is to roll back the tune before bringing it into service.

Of course they're trying to sell you an extended warranty - that's what all vehicle dealers try to do. Usually they are a terrible deal for the consumer.

Translation: "we make a bunch of changes and we don't really know what they do, but the people we either dupe or pay to review our mods give us 5 stars because the seat of their pants tells them they're happy"

How do you have the camera mounted to shoot from behind and high like that?

Thanks for the offer but I'm going to hang on to it. I may do some type of project myself.

Take pictures of what - my wallet? The cradle just pulls out. Lift up the top and pull to see for yourself what's under there.

I just took the cradle out and use the space to store my wallet. My phone doesn't fit in the cradle.

Check with your dealer to see if they can find a wrecked / salvaged R18 motor to source a cam shaft. I know my dealer has access to an online system that they use to source used parts for BMW bikes from dealers / shops around the U.S.

I installed a RAM mount for my cell phone on the handlebars - works fine.

Did you install this on your R18? If so, can we get a pic?

It doesn't make all that much difference with stick exhaust. I noticed the bigfest difference at idle and roll off after I changed the mufflers.

Well done. I'd like to hear what that exhaust sounds like!

That sounds great. And the look fits the bike perfectly.

My dealer will install them for you if you want as part of a routine service for little or no charge depending on what else you're having done.

I doubt there would be a huge difference in idle noise with the stock mufflers. But I can sure tell a difference with the aftermarket ones I have, and I noticed with the drilled out stock ones.

I just double checked how my TC functions after removing the servo and cable assembly with the spring loaded cam & flapper left behind on the bike. I fired up the bike and while laying on my back used my hand to open and close the valve on one side. Mine is definitely default open after the...

Just upload a clip to YouTube and post the link here. You can make the YouTube video private if desired.
