    Front Wheel Noise

    I had the noise since new, then very loud, when the Michelin commado was almost worn. Then I swapped to the 16' wheel (one from a Classic) instead of the 18', with a new "fat" Michelin Commando. No noise anymore. The culprit is the 18' tire.

    Reverse - Dealer Programming

    Had it done + Update. No trouble. It seems they had to remove the gears levers, because I had to re-adjust them when back home.

    Reverse - Dealer Programming

    My appointment also includes overnight stay for soft update. They gave me no details, but they never do ... Except for the first one about the "whining" fuel pump. I think it's more than the reverse concern. We don't know either what they are doing when Windows updates. I have no concern about...

    Nice buy ! It fits perfectly to the TransC. I like the sides, they look great and thicker than mine.

    Spoke Wheels & Tires ( Classic vs Pure )

    End of the conversion! Total cost 260€, new tire included! Unbeatable 👍 I love it ! The handling looks much softer. But hard to compare since the previous tire was rinced at 12000 km. And more ! The rumble noise completely desapeared ! The Michelin 19' tire is definitely the culprit . A really...

    No Adaptive Cruise Control on BMW Build a Bike Site

    I had mine in 09/2020 (one of the very first delivered) with cruise control. This option existed from the very beginning.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Got my official letter. The amount of the compensation isn't explicit... They say the repair is done at no cost :giggle: The recall number is : 000611900. Do they have one for worldwide or country/country ?

    Bronze plating or Metallic powder coating question...

    I experienced a "chrome" powder coating on a rack for my R1200C Montauk. Looks very hard and durable.

    Can a second keyed fob be programmed so I can have two fobs for my R18 bike ?

    I paid around 300 euros but it was on 09/2020. I used to let the keys on my top case lock when in my garage. And what had to happen did happen... I went riding with the keys on the lock. I was happy to call my wife to bring me my spare. I could finaly retrive the lost key. And never let it on...

    Can a second keyed fob be programmed so I can have two fobs for my R18 bike ?

    I ordered a second key immediately the day of the delivery when I realised they gave just one. No problem to have two Keys set on the same bike. The job is done at the factory. Just be ready to drop a few hundreds bucks...

    The ateliers Ruby doesn't exist anymore. They bankrupted. Theses luxurious helmets where built in China.. I realised that 6 month ago as I planed to visit their shop in Paris. Those who bought one of their helmets now own a collector. Use Google translate...

    R18B wide rear brake pedal

    Thanks Yama for the link. I ordered it. It moves back the pedal, and it's good. But how does the mount prevents it from rotating with the offset Bolt?
