This seems like a very easy legal case for any attorney. Obviously getting a good reputable will be in your best interest but with all the documentation you have I don’t see how this wouldn’t be awarded in your favor without question. Not sure exactly what your hoping to get out of litigation...

When I met my wife I rode motorcycles and I was very clear upfront in the beginning that motorcycles were in my blood. That I was intending to spend all my extra time energy and money on motorcycles and that the reason I was working was so that I could retire as soon as possible so that I could...

I found it to be a very good upgrade from the original seat and felt that it was money well spent considering the quality and the extra provided comfort.

Mustang Day Rider 2-piece rider and passenger seat with the rider backrest. Purchased September 20th, 2023. Has just a few hundred miles on it and is in new condition. I took it off the bike when I traded my R18FE in. $500 includes shipping within the United States. Thanks for looking.

Well it’s been done 😢. She has officially been hooked up to the battery tender and parked in a cozy place for the next few months. We have been extremely luck to have a warm start to the winter but I know that won’t last forever. I think the riding season for the lovely R18 is over. If we get...

Having ridden my TC just shy of 4,000 miles in ten days with three of those days not riding more than 100 miles combined due to weather I can say that my biggest “complaint” with the touring capabilities of the TC is the shortage of adequate storage. For such a massive bike the side bags and...

Just in the event that the engine won’t start or as a preventative measure? In other words does this “fix” the issue and keep it from happening or is this just a solution in the event that this issue presents itself? Thanks for the information.

This issue can affect any B or TC with the adaptive headlight. Very few bikes made it to United States without adaptive headlight though.

Just as a side note I have only ever ridden my TC in rain mode because I prefer the tame throttle it provides. Headlight broken with 6500 on the odometer. 😖

Started in on the 6,000 mile service. So far not impressed with what equates to a brand new motorcycle. I was tired of always having to “fix” something when maintaining my old bikes. One of the deciding factors in buying a brand new bike. Valve adjustment was a cinch. 👍🏼 Any trick to rotating...

That is a beautiful bike. I like what you have done. Very nice! 👍🏼

I have both an FE and a TC. They both occasionally fail to start first try. I even had a single occurrence when my FE would not start after multiple tries when riding on a 90 degree day. 🤷‍♂️ Another thing I have noticed and am wondering if other folks are experiencing is the bike doesn’t seem...

Welcome to this wonderful forum. Lots of great people on here. If you are planning on doing your own maintenance in the future this site is invaluable. Enjoy the new bike.

While at the BMW Motorrad dealership this Friday August 18th, 2023 picking up maintenance items for my R18’s I asked the very competent parts associate if the clutch used the same DOT 4 as the brake system because I had scoured the manual and no specification was given and the clutch reservoir...

So I ask the question IF our BMW bikes have a safety net built in to notify us how is the bike receiving this information? My guess would be that oil temp or engine temp is being monitored in some way in the background. IF that is the case then there has to be a way to access that information. 🤔...

As always to each their own. I have been asked before if I can scrape the floorboards. My response has always been the following: “yes I can scrape the floorboards. Every time I have done so it has been a reminder to slow to heck down. If I am regularly scraping floorboards I am on the wrong...

I did have a fairly significant amount of white grease on my Transcontinental steering neck. I believe it was cleaned up after the bike went in for its first service though. I have a look when I get home and if its still there I’ll post a picture.

Update: I called my local BMW Motorrad dealer who said they couldn’t get the bike in until September 7th. Could be worse. I know it is a very busy time of year. I have made an appointment and will keep everyone posted on the outcome. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to contribute to...

I did so using the link above. Thanks for providing that.

Well I just got home from a 9 day 5,000 mile trip and my bike also has a broken headlight. Hoping this explains why it seemed that the headlight was aimed low. It’s due for service so hoping my dealer takes good care of me and it won’t be a hassle. It’s a bummer that this is happening to so many...
