    "Fault in the engine control" warning on R18B [SOLVED]

    Isn't the fuel pump inside the tank? Might be worth draining the tank and going after the pump assembly.. Banging on the tank, are you thinking something is intermittent..? You'll have this figured out before your service appointment date... I thought the problem was that your bike was set...

    I'm probably NOT going to adopt this annual maintenance practice, and just keep it simple with my existing routine...

    3500 Mile Valve Adjustment...Wow!

    See the attached YT video; the valve adjustment is performed on a 2022 Model B, by some jerk - but seems to be a pretty helpful video...

    3500 Mile Valve Adjustment...Wow!

    I believe the valve gap specification is 0.2 mm - 0.3 mm; I typically shoot for 0.25mm, see below image with specification in reference to temperature. Always best to let the engine cool off over night..

    Question SeaFoam (Annual Maintenance)

    I've never use any fuel stabilizers and such in any of my bikes over the years; I typically; try to jam as much fuel in my tank, just prior if I know the bike is going to be sitting or stored over the Winter season. That's my attempt to reduce the space within the tank, which could produce...

    Show Us Your R18

    Took a ride up the Palisades with the front directionals set in "cruise" mode; you can barely see the NYC Skyline through the haze... (See yellow arrow):

    Any R18 owners using the Sea Foam product as part of their annual R18 maintenance routine; if so, which specific product, how much and how often? The below product looks like it's designed to be added directly to the fuel tank, in order to target fuel injectors. Added to Fuel Tank? Added to...

    Klock Werks windshield for R18B

    I agree 💯 regarding the lower leg wind protection fairings.. also in combination with the flip out winglets mounted on the fairing of my Model B; however, I recently removed the engine protection bar and the attached lower leg wind protection fairings. I'm going for a cleaner or more simple...

    Klock Werks windshield for R18B

    I'm still rocking the OEM Model B windshields; I have the all clear windshield, which is the original, as well as a decorative windshield where the bottom half is Black in color - which is good for keeping an EZ-Pass out of sight. I have the Black Wind Deflector, which I haven't tried riding...

    What was the price of the conversion.. maybe more cost effective to purchase a ROCTANE outright..?

    Need Help 2021 BMW R18 FE does not crank unless boosted. When boosted cranks but doesnt start.

    How are you connecting the jump pack; are you using the (-) Ground stud underneath the RHS cylinder and the (+) stud on the RHS of the bike? You mentioned the battery connections.... How about the Ground and Positive landing points on the bike; are they clean and snug? Did you wash your bike...

    R18 Helmet

    The older I get, the closer I look at the helmet's weight and dBa noise parameters; I recently switched to my older SCHUBERTH C4 Pro Carbon helmet, and will most likely replace it in the future with a newer C5 helmet with the ANC functionality.. As you can see from the current helmet color...

    Customs R18

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Yes... I noticed that all of my buddies bikes; which are HDs, the front directionals are ON as cruise lights.. So I figured, what the heck..

    "Fault in the engine control" warning on R18B [SOLVED]

    Good idea... 💡 Even if the error triggers after rolling the Healtech modules.. check with the OBD tool and see if the code changes, maybe indicating the failed Healtech module moved to the other exhaust side.
