Your luck with lemon law will vary state by state. The criteria for cars is pretty rigid, and where bikes might be covered, I’d expect the same rigidity. And in Michigan, motorcycles are not covered. I do believe we’ll get a fix. None of anyone’s dealer contacts knew shit about the headlight...

Dude, if the price of the bike wouldn’t be overshadowed by the price of the divorce…

Any help you’re willing to provide me (and us!) would be amazing. I assume there will be a bunch of us reinstalling the cables come spring. and any details on what tool or extension in particular you used to get it done would be great. Once you’ve gotten to the bolt with the extension, how...

Ohh haha!! That’s my careful reading! Good gravy!

Please share the bull manure once it’s served. Always interesting to hear how these guys battle their way out of accountability.

Looking at Gateway’s site. ~$8k dealer incentives on the R18s. Oof! Doing everything they can to not just put the key on the seats and leave em in the lot overnight. And with no clear info on whether 2025 models are coming. Wild wild wild.

Some slightly used Bs and TCs can be found for perversely low prices right now. Saw a TC with some dumb low miles for like $12k. Buyers’ paradise right now!

These aftermarket seats certainly don’t do much to preserve those beautiful lines, do they? I bought a second hand Corbin last year and haven’t ridden a mile with it on my B. Just can’t swallow the looks so I’m sacrificing a bit of comfort. I suppose I’ll eventually pop it on if I do a...

States “temporary” and doesn’t seem to bind the accessories to any conditional acceptance of the issue not being remedied in full. The US notices don’t mention a lick about compensation, so many of us have had to pointedly ask the dealer. Curious how many get the fix and aren’t aware and end...

Looks like the one cable is pretty simple (between the reverser and starter motor). You had mentioned in one of these threads that the other cable goes onto the transmission case. Trying to make sense of that one in the pic here...

might need to tap on you for a tutorial. Searched and found your pics but nothing substantial enough for me to tackle the gig. I likely need a little more of a walkthrough for my B if you're willing (or a link to something I may have missed.) I appreciate it!

I've learned, after some frustration, to take any info/response coming from a dealer (BMW or otherwise) with a block of salt. When they think they know, it's often wrong, and too many times I'm more aware of things than they are. I can't imagine they disable and don't fix the issue. I didn't...

You think these would do the trick? https://a.co/d/ilmXBGW

Thanks! Couldn’t find the $8000 challenger tho. Guessing someone is having a really merry after Christmas.

$8k? That’s insane! What’s the dealer? That’s a super solid grab for someone. One bike not really seeing much in the way of price reduction - I’m kicking tires on Goldwings and of the two near me, they both want $33k OTD (which is right about MSRP plus TTL & freight) and likely only want to...

I don’t hold an MBA, but I’m gonna chatter on a second. I wonder how long a company waits for a product to catch on in a marketplace. The R18 line seems clearly intended to battle Harley’s line up, as there’s a R18 aligned with most segments of HD’s heavy bike offerings. (Standard/Street...

yeah, they’re the same parts, but I noticed that the pushrod adjustment pins were set differently at each side. Then noticed that the bolt with the orange paint that locks the adjustment pin was facing up, not down. The instructions you provided (thank you!!) helped sus that out. My theory...

Get a rear seat bag (saddleman and kuryakyn make some good ones) and you can go and go. Easier to strap the bag on with a sissy bar, but some will work just perched on the seat and tied down. I’m waiting til spring to get the saddleman 3400, as it’ll tie to just the seat and I don’t want a...

Resolved. As I made my way through the install instructions for the RSD levers, I realized the expert dealer tech had installed the pushrod brackets upside down. Which also means that they switched the left and right brackets, so whatever pushrod adjustments were made at the factory were now...

That’s probably more realistic a timeline than 2025. There was supposed to be some great reveal of something in October I think it was. However, the reverse recall came at the same time and I think made BMW shift away from unveiling whatever it was. The hint pics had an 1800 badge tho, so who...
