I know you said that you used the book procedure, but just making sure you had the bike upright vertical (not on side stand) and let sit for a couple of minutes before checking the oil level. Although anything is possible, it seems unlikely that the oil level was that low.

Did we hear what the fitment issue was? In any case, while the referenced pipes are cool, I'm still waiting for simple chrome versions that look like the original concept.

Yeah, and maybe you can program the horn to play "Disco Inferno" while you're at it :)

This particular sort of thing is a "miss" for me, but then again, most of the bikes that R2K posts in the "Customs" thread are misses also. Doesn't mean that I don't enjoy looking and find them interesting. In any case, even if I was a fan, I tend not to ride much at night, which would tend to...

The R18 is interesting, but I really dig that RnineT.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread... Do you need to de-tune it so that the dealer doesn't void the warrantee?

I've had this issue twice. Both in summer, and both after prolonged city traffic riding. Was definitely not fuel. It eventually started, but required that I let the bike sit for half an hour both times. It's only been twice in a year and a half of ownership, but it still is annoying.

No, I think that he's asking how to use the bike's control interface rather than using the phone interface to control selection and playback of music. I think that he knows how to make it work using the phone as the control, but is trying to get the bike to behave like the user manual states...

I personally don't see much difference in handling. I've even ridden them back-to-back when I got a loaner standard while they were sorting out the firmware upgrade on my classic. While the screen and bags are nice, I usually ride without them. To me, the deciding factor is the exhaust. I...

I usually ride my classic without the saddle bags so I have the same issue. Where I am, the only thing that you are required to show is license, registration and proof of insurance. Proof of insurance is acceptable to present with your phone. I took a picture of my registration with my phone...

Pics of your rig in the garage are one thing, but man that looks great out in the wild.

I had a thread about this a year ago. Definitely a poor design. It happened to me when I slightly overloaded the bag. The flex of the bag popped the reflector off. I crazy-glued it back on, and it's been fine ever since. Never happened to the other side. The dealer ordered me a new one...

Nature can most certainly be coaxed into providing less acceleration of the bike for a given fuel energy input. The most simple case is if you are riding your brake. You can compensate for that by adding extra throttle to get the same acceleration. Operating at a less than optimal place on...

Delivered energy and energy efficiency are two different things. The identical bike can have identical accelerations but different fuel consumption depending on how it is ridden. You can operate outside of the ideal torque rpm with added throttle input and get the same acceleration in...

On the third hand, because it's always fun to be devil's advocate to the devil's advocate, you can't really feel torque....you feel acceleration...which is also a function of mass. The R18 doesn't snap your head back regardless of the torque number. The fact that it's down-low, preventing you...

I've had the bike for a year and a half. The only other thing I've done is remove stuff, not add to it. The windscreen and bags are stored away safely, along with the mounting brackets and the driveshaft bracket that presumably presents passengers from getting tangled up with it. I'm very...

Doesn't seem like it should, but I haven't removed them since installing them.

With the finish on these bikes, I'm not sure I see the need for additional protection.

It's the only mod I have, and the only mod I want.

Yeah. I've not seen one go for more than $7K, even in the best of mint condition.
