Thanks guys, I do find it odd tho, been thinking whether it's caused by the trickle charger being connected to the battery and maybe I've switched on the bike (not the engine) before disconnecting the charger?
I think I'll just clear the code for now and see if it comes back - panels are off...
Thanks all for the feedback!
Was curious whether anyone else got this error-
I was of course going to read the fault code(s) (otherwise the message itself is not very conclusive) - but I was away for a bit and only now had the chance to check the OBD scanner..
It returned a couple of Active...
This came up on the display:
"Fault in the engine control
Onward journey possible
Ride carefully to next specialist workshop"
Anyone knows anything about this?
2021 R18B with 6k on the clock.
Had this pop up some 600 miles ago when I first got the bike and it was shipped to me on fuel...
Thanks @Judge really appreciated.
I’ve got a relative in NY, so I just need to sort out the international shipping once it’s delivered to their place.
I ended up ordering from Rogue Powersports since they still had one in stock at a decent price. I haven’t used them before, but their customer...
Appreciated, I wasn't very successful finding a UK 'dealer' through PartsEurope but their pricing seemed very close to this eBay listing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157313114460 :unsure:
However that is one expensive windshield at 365 GBP so I'll order in the US to a friend's address in NY -...
A bit late to the party, but I’ve been trying to get hold of the Klock Werks Flare windshield for the R18B and it seems impossible to source in the UK
Has anyone managed to buy one recently or know of a supplier that will ship here? thanks
Hi,
My R18 FE came with the Bridgestone Battlecruise and both front B19 and rear B16 are Bias-belted (“B”) type tyres. Yet when I added the bike details on Michelin's website, it came up with the Commander 3 in Radial type 19R for the front and Belted B16 for the rear?
I thought it wasn't...
I've been thinking about this because I believe it is applicable to V-twins (my Moto Guzzi before the R18 had a 'compensator pipe'), but that was due to the v-twin inherent firing order?
Whereas the boxer engine is simply square, I'm not sure if there's anything to 'compensate' or equalise...
Any thoughts on the ride? I've got a similar kit but the riding position is significantly forward compared to stock so I'm not sure it will be comfortable on longer riders...
I had a similar quest a while ago, was discussed here: https://www.r18forums.com/threads/looking-for-a-swithched-hot-lead.2799/page-2
I wanted to use the connector under the tank for simplicity/to keep the wires shorter but the 2 wire connector never worked (mine is the FE edition..) - most...
Thanks, I had no idea that's a switched lead. Mine is a FE and doesn't have the headlight symbol marked on the lower part of the MODE switch..
Reading up here https://www.r18forums.com/threads/auxiliary-led-running-headlights-installation.697/ seems to be no difference but I wasn't successful...
Hi,
Coming back to this as I just wired a phone charger to the connector under the fuel tank. Got the corresponding (male) connector and wired the Negative to pin 1 (Brown on the bike) and Positive to pin 3 (Blue/Red on the bike).
However power doesn't come through..
I just assumed this would...
So I came here because I got the Service Warning after disconnecting the battery..
I wanted to install a SAE connector for a trickle charger, found the battery compartment full of road debris from the rear wheel, so I left the battery out until the following day. When reconnected, it threw this...
Interesting - so I did try this, could hear the servo moving when actioning the throttle before starting up. When I did this first step, the idle then was a bit smoother, so it might have worked but could also be placebo, I don't know.
I didn't think it would be the throttle potentiometer...
Yeah, this could be it. Also in the UK and the temperature/humidity in my garage is often different than outside.. Once warmed up, the idling is more stable.
