    None of my friends want to buy a BMW

    curious, in the first photo, it shows what I believe is the cruise set at 65, but 0 mph... so the cruise is set but bike is stationary, is that when the message appears? perhaps disabling cruise when bike is stationary would clear it? not much to work with here but thought it might be worth a...

    OEM Engine Guards and Wunderlich Bag Protection Bars

    Hey Tom, I'm still using the bolts that came with the bars but do still intend to replace them at some point. The stock bolts are M8x25 and have a nice broad head. The Wunderlich are M8x30 and a std cap head, not as broad. I haven't found a nice M8x30 with a broad head yet, but it's still on...

    Bag protection bars - are there any other manufacturers other than Wunderlich?

    The ones on Amazon appear to have the same/similar design as the Gen1 Wunderlich. Note the tube used at the seat connection, pics show Wunderlich Gen1 and Gen 2 pic of Wunderlich Gen2 top attachment point - pic from instructions sent with my replacement bars. pic of Wunderlich Gen1 top...

    Question for the UK owners

    My R1250GSA and my R18 all came with just one fob and a spare.. I got an extra fob for them and it was hundreds.. Useful note... a rider on this forum broke the metal key off his fob, we found that just the metal key is available as a replacement for lots less than the cost of the fob...

    New member from France

    welcome Arnaud, and congratulations on your R18, enjoy the ride! a thought regarding engine protection/crash guards, your selection may affect fitment/positioning of some aftermarket and OEM options like lights, forward footrests, leg rests, etc... searching the site will yield much...

    Pinstriping on FE

    I checked close as I could visually and got 3mm, 3mm, 5mm. Compared rear fender and tank on my 2021 R18 FE and they were same.

    Casting defects, customer service, and a new face.

    Nice looking Classic! Super glad BMW was able to resolve your issue in reasonable time, the loaner was pretty cool too. My experience of over 20,000 miles on my R18s has been virtually flawless and I wish you the same. I believe they feel better and better with the miles and look forward to...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Wunderlich advised me all of the R18TC/B bag protection bars are the new model since they were reintroduced on their site. I had one of the few sets of first batch which I returned and was informed they were destroyed with all other old stock. At that point they removed the item from their...

    Changing oil cold

    I'd expect changing hot and recently circulated oil would also include more suspended particles and viscosity variances, before they settle out. Sounds like cheap insurance and best way to get best long-term performance from the engine with the least interruptive maintenance schedule.

    19 inch chrome front and 16 inch chrome rear wheels.... Metzler's...and the Wunderlich tool bag

    As a toe shifter, I do much prefer the rider Wunderlich lowered pegs to either footpegs or floorboards. I have them on both a Pure and a Classic, both with the 719 seat. I have not yet had a pillion review the passenger lowered pegs but I feel can comment on them. Pro: The passenger lowered...

    19 inch chrome front and 16 inch chrome rear wheels.... Metzler's...and the Wunderlich tool bag

    I replaced the passenger footpegs on my classic with Wunderlich lowered footpegs, like a small floorboard. There's no conflict with the saddlebags pictures in this link: https://www.r18forums.com/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-r18-today.97/post-28292 it appears below that the base mounts...

    First post and Question re: R18TC

    On each of my R18s, TC included, I've found that the clutch/shifting/suspension/brakes all have become more refined with use, and I'd say are better now than new. It could behoove you to try an R18 with some miles on it as several folks have noted improvements especially after the initial...
