    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    ... a poor mans nitros !! LOL This said I think with the front intakes (the original intakes) the fair low is designed so that the water is shed before getting sucked in ... snorkels and all ... well at least I hope so ;) ... in any case I like the 'scoop' or 'ram-air' idea better than just...

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    I like your idea ... and the looks ... but just to play 'Devil's Advocate' here ... I take it you don't ride in the rain? ... or maybe it doesn't rain much where you are, it doesn't in my neck of the woods ... still IMO wouldn't the engine also suck in a fair amount of water this way?

    Customs R18

    Beats me 'Piggeldy & Frederick' is a German cartoon series for kids ... from way back ... maybe this person's idea of 'Hog' ;)

    Metal Filing on Oil Drain Plug

    50 000 km!!! Holy $hit LOL ... if 2 little slivers is all you found ... they could have been there since assembly and now just finally knocked loose and got caught by the magnet ... IMO ... I think I would not worry ... but that is me ;) ... you could change the oil next time ahead of schedule...

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

    That sounds about right when running ... without the engine running it seems just a tad low ... before I changed my battery mine was right around 12V but it dropped dramatically when hitting the starter and occasionally threw a headlamp fault because the voltage dropped so low ... a new battery...

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

    Thanks ... that seems a bit low to me with just the ignition on ... but I could be wrong ... mine shows right under 13V (12.95) but it does drop if I leave the ignition on for a bit ... and you said the fault showed up with the engine running ... so power shouldn't be a problem ... I think this...

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

    I am just glad that you are making some sort of process ... I am with StarLord ... ride it as much as you can before they pick it up ... oh one more question ... what is your voltage (measured with a meter not the bike display) with the ignition 'ON' ... maybe (it couldn't be that simple) you...

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

    ... hmmm ... wouldn't a disconnected coil also throw an error? just not an 'overcurrent' error ... is that what you are going for? ... just curious ...

    Reverse gear recall problem

    Yup ... I am curious as well ... what do you think is BS?

    Reservoir Replacement

    IMO ... the controls you posted in an early post will work just fine hydraulically ... but what are you going to do with the electrics? ... some of the aftermarket controls have separate switch blocks (like the PM one's on my Shovel) ... are you thinking of something like that? or are you going...

    Orange Triangle on Speedo Screen

    I agree with all the above ... and it does work with IOS or Android ... actually a bit better with Windows and/or Android than Mac OS and/or IOS ... just to throw in my 2¢ ;)

    Information Fault

    Very odd ... but oh well, as long as it is gone ... WooHoo!!

    Information Fault

    Just to throw in my 2¢ ... more often than not a good OBD tool will show past codes even if they are not present anymore ... But then there is the notion of 'If it ain't broke ... don't fix it' :cool:
