    It's a 6.3 gallon fuel tank, how much gas are you putting in at the 200 mile mark? What kind of steady speeds do you set your cruise control at?

    Did the DNA upgrade

    WOW, try putting a paper element back in and see if it continues. Two times is hardly statistically relevant.

    clutch thunking

    I test rode a white and silver R 18 Classic at West Valley Cycle BMW that did this. Moreso in Rock mode than Roll mode. The clutch lever pulsated when pulled in. I don't think it's normal, the 2022 R18 B I test rode at Sturgis for 23 miles did nothing of the sort... IMHO, there may be a...

    Trade in Value

    PM me your asking price and a picture of the build sheet.. As it is now, I'm looking at a TC, same color. Bought by owner as a Demo bike. I assume you have hardback owners manual and all service records.

    After the low gas light. How far more have you driven?

    Folks, this bike has fuel injection, and fuel injection pumps the fuel up to 45 to 60 psi high pressure before injection, and then goes back, what isn't injected, back into the fuel tank. Compression of fuel makes it hot, and the fuel is used to cool the in tank fuel pump. It's always a good...

    Looking at a TC with 3800 miles on it, 2022, needs the service in 2200.... and lifetime MPG is only 37.... so I am wondering if possibly the brakes are sticking or something, that it's so poor? Or does the owner romp on it pretty good?

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    Il y a eu des propriétaires avec 1800 km à 5000 km sur leurs vélos, certainement des modèles 2022, pas sûr que cela s'étend également aux modèles 2023, qui ont eu des pannes de phares. Gardez donc un œil sur le vôtre et apportez-le immédiatement chez un concessionnaire si vous rencontrez une...

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    We can wait and see if RyBread or anyone else has a repeat failure. If I were RyBread, I would let her idle in Rock mode, run the motor up to 4500-4800 rpm often, and go ride some more poorly maintained bumpy roads to try and induce failure again, so as to see if it was a production problem or...

    Beginning to wonder about lemon laws on this, if they can't fix it in 30 days?

    R18 Bagger headlight reflector vibrating when accelerating.

    I think BMW R18 Bagger owners will need to start filing reports with NHTSA to get this on the record and to get BMW to resolve the issue with a proper fix. Maybe the reason why so many are on back order here in the USA is that BMW is in the process of having the sub contractor do a complete...

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    Well, I talked to my local BMW dealership on the phone... FWIW, he says there's 5 of them in inventory IN GERMANY.... Doesn't do us much good, state side, does it,?.... and the replacement cost if not under warranty is $3095.57, before sales tax. I thought aviation parts for my airplane were...

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    88 and that's not including people that don't even know theirs is broken yet, because they don't ride at night. Or haven't taken it in to the dealership yet to address it, they're waiting for the next 6000 mile service. Or just don't care. Then there's all the lights that haven't broken yet...

    What cell phone fits in the phone holder?

    Galaxy S22 ultra does NOT fit. Too tall, and too wide.

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    This is absolutely complete BS in terms of QC standards from a german car / motorcycle company with a reputation supposedly as good as BMW, or Porsche or Mercedes Benz, certainly when you look at what the MSRP is on these. You should file a report with NHTSA that it's a safety hazard and night...
