    Local Dealer has 40 BMW on showroom floor, not a single R18

    Agree. That's why I kept my fantastic R1200 C Montauk :) If I could adapt the 1800 on it I'd have only one bike.

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    That's really a big fail from BMW. Very disapointing. I'm not concerned with my FE but I understand one can be angry about that.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Could you give us more explanations, like how you could adjust the lengh of the led stripes, connections etc.. Are they double taped? And a link to the source?

    Blowing Smoke -Left Exhaust

    I never had this issue with my R18. But since I had it from time to time on my Montauk I started to park it on a stand, so verticaly. And another stand came with the R18

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    Aside from warranty issues, has somebody tried to switch from the B/TC unit to the FE/Pure/classic one ? Do the diameter and connections allow that? It could be a simple and easy way to get out of the mud. My FE has the optional "fixed" adaptative headlight. It works fine but I don't find the...

    Optimate4 abuse

    No pigtail but there's a contact hidden by a red cap on the right side where you can use a crocodile clamp. I have 3 Ctek chargers. They work fine...

    R18 Weekender Seat or Corbin ?

    Corbin makes your saddle to your own specifications (weight/ high/ leg dimensions...) and design/ color of your choice. I think it's very valuable. Very happy with my Corbin. I sat on the weekender at the dealership, it looked confortable. But the desing is not appealing to my eyes.

    Air Suspension

    I saw it on Arnott web site but no mention about the price. Do you know where the pump goes ?

    Puig or Madstad screen?

    Anyway to lock or unlock you need to turn the bar full left no? I like this Puig screen, I'm thinking about to switch for it.

    Erratic heated grips

    I regularly happen to incidentally press on the heater swich, instead of the start button. I notice it later when the grips are too hots. But it's easy to switch em off on the FE.

    My $23,000 Boat Anchor thanks BMW

    That's completely unbelievable ... When the winning fuel pump concern occurred, the 4 YouTube videos I made, in 4 languages, with links to the dealer and the customer service, had an instant efficiency. I had a call the same day, and the solution came very fast, with a soft update for all the...

    Small bubble at the hearder pipe

    There's no way corrosion could create aligned bubbles. 100 % sure it's melted textile. Look at your trouser, your cover, your jacket .... I burnt one of my jacket at the same place when hanging it on the bar.

    Small bubble at the hearder pipe

    Try to scrape off some with a plastic tool (in order to not agress the chrome) and you'll know what it's about.
