I think you need to check with Google Play. I use iOS & the Apple Store requirements are based on the OS. If the hardware supports the OS, it supports the app. I imagine it would be similar with Android, but I don't have any Android devices to know for sure.

The “toaster” tank

You are getting the advertised capacity. The advertised capacity is defined as usable fuel capacity, not the absolute vessel capacity. Part of the tank is above the fill hole, so even with your mod, you wouldn't get the absolute vessel capacity. It might add a small % of a gallon, it's not...

I agree with your approach. I’ve got a 50 year old Toaster tank R75/5 that was a bit of the inspiration for the 100yr R18 model. I just used it in the DGR a couple weeks ago for a 200 mile day. Yes it is worth multiples more than it cost new, but inflation is a major part of that. As the...

Yes, I have the same flip version from 7Jurock, but also tallest version (20”) https://www.7jurock.com/products/bmw-r-18-classic-2021-2022-windshield. I had an MRA lip on my stock screen with a bit of “flip” angle that worked perfect. The 7Jurock with flip gave me same setup with a bit cleaner...

Buffeting will depend on your size and position on the bike relative to the screen. Shorter arms will bring you closer to the windshield, while longer ones push you further out. Your torso height will determine the position of your head vs the screen. The vortex coming off the top of the...

Ultimately, i always fill to the same level on the bike as I track mileage with Fuelly across my fleet, so I know exactly what my typical mileage and thus range is and if it varies over time. Capacity is one part of the equation, but so is MPG. Combined, they define your range. I expect the...

At least by me, the BMW oil is ~$16, not $60 per quart. A full oil change kit with filter, crush ring & 5 quarts is $98. Assuming you were referring to the the total cost for 5 quarts, it is a good savings, but put it in the context of how often you change the oil, $34 saved every 6000 miles...

If you mean the Pure (base R18), it’s unlikely the tank would fit out of the box. The B & TC have a different frame in the tank area with the different fork angle. While it is bigger than the tank of the Pure/Classic by about 2.1 gallons, it is also behind a big fairing and so might look odd...

On my R18 Classic, I’m able to fill the gas all the way to the top with no mods. The neck is very different than that on my 2012 GSA & 2015 S1000R which look more like the above photo, but just taking the filler out a bit from the tank lets me fill those to the top too. If anything the neck on...

First Edition is simply a package available in the first model year on each of the R18 models that added some chrome bits, special badging and packaged several options together. The Pure & Classic (naked) are basically one bike with some accessory packages & the B & TC are another (fairing)...

Which bike does the OP have? From their profile, it looks like a Classic. I have the tallest screen from 7Jurock on my Classic & it gives me the extra height I needed for winter riding.

It all comes down to what you prioritize in your bikes. Japanese will tend to be reliable with little to no maintainance, but kinda boring, and limited performance. The only ones I found I could fit on were the dirt bikes or adventure bikes & the others I never cared for the looks of. Ducati...

Non-OEM will be hard for most of the items. Aftermarket is limited at present to some exhaust, seats, racks (Wunderlich - I have one & they are good) & replacement shields for the Classic windshield (I have one by 7 Jurock). You can add the light bar & lights from the Classic to the Pure &...

I’m sorry you and your friends had issues. My point isn’t that it can’t happen, but it is far to easy to use Internet forum complains or some local examples to assume an issue is widespread. I ride with at least a dozen K1600s in my area from first model year thru last model year and none had...

Head of BMW Motorrad announced that there have been over 20K R18 bikes sold across the variants in the Roctane/R12 Nine T intro video. It’s ~2.5 years since launch, so that’s an average of ~8K/year. BMW sold just over 200K bikes last year, so it’s a small percentage overall, but for a...

But, it is a throwback to older BMWs. The speedometer in the headlamp is the same design as on my 1972 BMW R75/5. The chassis appears to be similar to the Pure/Classic with 3.5” travel. It’s about 20lbs heavier than a Classic, most likely due to the hard bags, bigger seat & front fender. The...

I have a Weekender also on my Classic. I do keep the fob in my pant pockets but never had an issue.

Last time I did it on any of the bikes was last year. I'll double check if it still works. Would be weird to me that they removed that functionality. There is a bit of confusion of infrastructure wifi vs device wifi that could impact this. If your GS911 is setup on your home WiFi it can...

Which direction are you measuring the knee angle from? Do you mean your feet are slightly closer to your thigh than a 90 degree bend (95-105degrees from straight) or your legs are slightly more straight? You should be able to adjust this a bit based on placement of your feet on the...
