Thanks for the info buddy. Noticed you're in Hants. Do you use BMW in Lower Farringdon?

Response finally received. 4% against retail value of bike for genuine BMW Motorrad accessories. No idea what I'm going to go for yet ...

That's a bore. It was disengaged when I went in for a service 😬

How did you go about getting recall compensation? I have emailed BMW Motorrad in the UK 4 times now, they are utterly useless.

Exactly what I was told by my BMW dealer in UK 10 minutes ago.

Just had my call from BMW in UK. They say they are going to disable the reverse gear until they receive the correct part from BMW for replacement, apparently back-end of this year? I use reverse to get it out of the garage and past the gravel. So this is a real inconvenience.

Not sure what this is, but looks interesting. Is it the unveiling of a new model? Unsure. Here's the link which premiers on October 1st: Well that's weird. As soon as I posted, the link was removed on YouTube.

Early evening pub visit, UK.

That's quite a cool-looking little pocket!

Yup. Did exactly that. Getting a return label sorted. Such a faff 🤣

Just swapping battery over. They seem to be completely different sizes. Back to the drawing board I guess!

Ordered yesterday. Thanks for help Anibal! Will update on how the bike reacts.

Cheers buddy. And this definitely fits the R18 FE? Assuming it's just a straight swap without any electrical gremlin faff?!

Thanks Anibal - my next question was going to be about recommendations on new battery type!

Hi Gerard. Bike is a 2021 R18 FE. So looks like it may have a similar problem to yours perhaps.

Great minds. Already done. Had to jump start and gave the bike a good run. Voltage at 13 when I switched off. Will check the reading tomorrow and see if it's gone down a lot.

I do have a USB phone charger in the din plug, but obviously take the phone out when not on the bike. Also have the datatag tracker system, but not activated yet... Battery was down to about 11 volts. Currently on charge.

Is it normal for the battery to go flat after about 8 days of no use? Alarm wasn't on!

Yes. Phoned up BMW. Complete sealed unit. £112. Will have to suck it up 🙄. Thanks for info!

The lens on my front right indicator seems to have disappeared! Does anyone know whether they are sold separately or does it come as a whole unit? Based in the UK. Thanks.
