    Another Oil Leak 2022 R18B

    My previous oil leak was gear oil from the transmission breather, which the dealer repaired under warranty. This is an engine oil leak that looks to be from the oil pan just below the breast plate. :-| 11.7K miles on the bike.

    It has been a blast👏👏👏

    Beautiful. My first BMW was a K bike, a 1985 K75T, that I bought brand new. Just one word of caution… I don’t think I have ever seen a K1600 Bagger that didn’t have the panniers scraped from a drop. Protection bars would be my first purchase if I bought one. Happy Travels. Flea

    R18B/TC - Dash Rattle

    Lots of work done. Head light recall, I put on the Helibars, aux lights. I did look for loose screws and everything was tight and nothing was missing that I could see.

    R18B/TC - Dash Rattle

    I’ve pressed on the TFT/Bezel area and I’m pretty sure it went away. But then, in order to be scientific I would have to go over the same bumps at the same speed again :-). But really, just checking in to see if anyone else has this.

    R18B/TC - Dash Rattle

    Does your dash rattle? Mine does when I go over rough roads. I took the Bezel off and put some foam tape around it, but I still haven’t been able to track it down. Annoying. Once the rains stop I’ll take the bezel off and ride around to see if it goes away. I’m curious if anyone else has this.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I was just thinking that I’m at the end of my addiction to additions.

    Aftermarket Auxiliary Lights / Turn signals for R18B -> R18 Transcontinental setup

    I’m certain that you would wire the relay coil to a switched input, so yes it would turn off and on with the bike. You still want the toggle switch that comes with the light to turn them off when needed, you can keep it in the on position and it will work the way you wanted it to work. The OEM...

    Roland Sands Gear shift / Rear Brake “warning”

    You are correct. On my R18B, I didn’t need the two bushings 23 41 7 674 079 which is nice because they are $17.26 each :-O

    Roland Sands Gear shift / Rear Brake “warning”

    An update in case anyone tries to do this. The bushing I listed above is the incorrect part. I’ve ordered the following which looks like it’s going to be correct. Qty 1 - Bushing. 35 21 7 721 100… (#9) QTY 2 - Bushing. 23 41 7 674 079… (#8). <<<<<<Edit - Didn’t need these on my R18B, only the...

    RSD Discount

    BMW discounted parts, not the dealers. Here in the US, you can go to https://www.shopbmwmotorcycles.com/. I’m not sure if that’s global, but maybe there is something like that where you live.

    Roland Sands Gear shift / Rear Brake “warning”

    Ok, not really a warning but an FYI. (Edit, wrong part number in bold) I installed the RSD Gear Shifters and floor boards. The floorboards are ok; they are a little smaller, which I hope won't be an issue. Here’s the warning. The RSD rear brake pedal does not include #9 in the diagram, part#...

    Question RSD cover conversion, sort of…

    I think the first edition still has plenty of chrome on it.

    Question RSD cover conversion, sort of…

    On second thought, I’m just going to leave it as is and installed the black. It’s not worth doing.

    Question RSD cover conversion, sort of…

    I could just keep it black, but I wanted it to match the other RS stuff. Knowing me, it will bother me until it matches. 🤪
