    R18 - Aftermarket ECU options

    I still have an issue that existed before the tune whereby if I don't put enough rev's on the bike when taking off from the lights or a junction, the bike seems to rev and then drop revs on its own. I have to rev reasonably strongly if I want a smooth take off from stationary. Likewise, when...

    Jack/Lift for the R18?

    Hi Wolle Can you please tell me what the two 14mm holes on the 5mm back plate are for? Do these perhaps engage with the exhaust hangers. Difficult to see on your otherwise excellent photographs.

    Extended warranty for 2021 R 18

    Just has a quote here in UK 12 months from £357.00 (without recovery) and £100.00 excess to £450.00 ish with recovery and no excess. Will probably purchase as concerned about a few things that have happened to other forum members ie. Reverse gear failing, oil seals, etc, all of which would make...

    Scissors ✂️ jack

    Excellent. Thank you. Any idea if I can add sub titles to this? Not sure if it might be possible via YouTube or not.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    When you say “Off the ground”, I have the Eazy riser strong arm which will lift the rear around 4” off the ground. Do you think that might be enough for a rear wheel removal?

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I have the BrenTune but not that interested in messing with my original Classic style exhaust. Having seen how easy it is to remove the exhausts I might be interested in the short Race Pace exhausts, (Or whatever their correct name might be).

    Tube or Tubeless

    This was the product I used, which uses a polymer technology as opposed to foam type products. The Ride on looks like it might also be polymer based. https://www.puncturesafe.com/index.php

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Removed the stock exhausts on my R18 C in preparation for removal of rear wheel. Literally took 10 - 15 mins to remove both. Made me realise how easy it will be to remove for a thorough clean, etc.

    Front Wheel corrosion

    Yes I remember that. I used to own a R1200C which had its wheels changed out. I loved the bike but the vibration going through the handlebars caused me to suffer from vibration white finger. Took several days for the discomfort to wear off. That was following a 200 mile ride. Not that far really.

    Rear tyre punctures and solutions

    I'm with you there. If it's something which I struggle to justify, a few whiskeys and the internet normally end up with a purchase. 😃

    Rear tyre punctures and solutions

    Can't say that £2000 + on wheels is really appealing to me.

    Rear tyre punctures and solutions

    Hi all Following a trip to France on my R18 Classic for the D Day celebrations, whilst doing 75 MPH, I became aware of a change in the bikes behaviour I pulled over to check. Sure enough I had picked up a screw in the rear tyre. Fortunately, before leaving home I had added a product called...

    Front Wheel corrosion

    I am seeing the same on my R18 Classic 2022. I will contact the dealer this week and see what the situation is. I also have some bubbling on the lower steering yoke and will point that out also. Did you get yours sorted?

    R18 - Aftermarket ECU options

    The tune is very subtle but at the same time, a definite improvement. Sounds good too.
