    Seats! Day Rider or Corbin Solo

    Hey folks... Im ready to buy a seat I can actually sit on for more than 45 mins at a time..lol I have always liked Corbin but for some bikes I didnt like their seating position or set up but I find their seats themselves comfortable to me. Mustang, when you buy directly from them they offer a 30...

    New bike is here!

    Update....After about 75 miles all the clanking stopped and its just all good. I have about 200 miles on her. This is my favorite cruiser bike Ive owned considering looks, fit, handling. Im going to get a seat, probably day rider and the saddlebags.

    2021 R18 First Edition - question….

    As long as youre within mileage do I think a few months of time will make a big difference? Not really. But I would plan on it sooner rather than later. I have a couple of bikes that see 3k miles a piece but I still change the oil at least once a year. I only use full synthetic.

    Has anyone added color LED's to light up the R18 at night?

    I imagine any kit can be fitted just like any other bike.

    Loving the bike so far but it has become apparent I need a seat that I can actually sit on while riding the bike. One that is comfortable over longer rides rather than 15-20 mins. Maybe a Dayrider? I dont need a passenger seat but its included so I have to pay for more than I need or want. I...

    The length is fine, I want to adjust it so the shift peg is slightly up. Meaning slightly higher, not further towards the front. I understand the confusion. :) Not a biggie, but something I can adjust easily enough.

    Agreed on getting some miles in. Just wondering if anyone else experienced it. Not sure if I agree that a dealer wouldn't let it go and dump something in a customers lap. :)

    New bike is here!

    I dont think its a "mode" issue guys..... It goes away if the bike is in neutral or I let the clutch out. Its not the vibration or shake or even the way the engine pitches the bike, thats all normal. Its a loud knock every now and then that is gone when in neutral or I let the clutch out. Seems...

    I don't need to damper the kick, Im fine with that. It's the "knock" I hear sometimes. Doesnt sound good. Only with the clutch lever in and bike in gear. No knock when its revved in neutral.

    New bike is here!

    My bike was delivered today. Only had time for a 20 mile ride A few impressions... The bike is gorgeous, we all know that. Upon startup with the clutch in, it almost makes a knocking sound at idle but only while holding the clutch in. Release the clutch and its just its normal thump. I can...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    lol I had a feeling it wasnt what you were looking for. :) I like your analogy "a R9T on steroids." Ive made similar statements. Diavels are beasts. I dont find them THAT fatiguing, though it is much more so than something like an R18.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Great bikes. I have a 2015 Red Carbon. Possibly a bit more raucous than the 1260. The 1260 seems a little bigger but still a great bike. If you think the 1260 is a "cruiser" bike you will be sorely disappointed.

    Cost of first service

    Its not hard to change the fluids in this bike.

    Clutch issue for R18 Transcontinental

    That's BMW's headache then. Let them figure it out.Even a horrible rider shouldn't burn out a clutch in a few weeks.

    Clutch issue for R18 Transcontinental

    Is there a cable adjust? Im hoping its an adjustment issue rather than a clutch issue at this point. With the bike running and in gear, how far out is the lever before the clutch starts to grab? If its too far out it may not be fully releasing. IDK
