    Solution to the GS-911 Dilemma

    AH-HA! I must admit that I have not yet needed to reset the service interval, so I haven't tried that function yet. Thanks for the heads-up. I'm gonna look into this.

    Solution to the GS-911 Dilemma

    You are resourceful GP. But, like Black Dog, I have to ask... what's the problem with the GS-911? Mine also doesn't "see" the R18 as an R18, but it works fine anyway.

    I don't think that you will get a "bug" from it. But what's life worth it to you? Put more plainly ... What IN LIFE is in it to you?

    I tried pasting the above into Google and came up with this: "But in reality, the parser performs a different task, namely, it is designed to recognize and process the code received by the grabber. pg-mir-ru Now you don't need to run the parser yourself for days and nights, think about locks...

    Customs R18

    I love it! Personally, I always called those types of seats "tractor seats". My old R50/2 had rider & passenger tractor seats and they were GREAT! That's the best execution of tractor seats that I've seen yet on the R18. If only it could be made for a quick & easy swap between "solo tractor" and...

    Essential R18 Aftermarket Solutions

    The above post got me thinking about HOW we can pick up the R18 for stuff like wheel removal, etc. I have a J&S Jack that I use to lift my Indian Roadmaster. Would it work for the R18? The answer is not easily. Like most jacks that pick up the entire motorcycle, it normally would lift the bike...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    That's a cool looking plane. Yours?

    Cycle World article: R18 vs SoftTail Slim

    Any time that they get a bike from a manufacturer who doen't limit what they are allowed to do with it, Cycle World has always done the entire range of performance tests on street bikes. They have a list of tests and specifications with which they feel that they have to fill in the blanks...

    How to connect Navi to 12volt

    To my knowledge, I don't think that anyone has found the matching male plugs for the 2-wire, 3-contact (1 unused) pigtail or the 2-wire pigtail connected to the battery under the LH side cover. But anyone with a little bit of talent and a soldering iron can tap into the two wires and run power...

    How to connect Navi to 12volt

    I also use a Tomtom GPS. I ran power & ground from the unused source under the LH side cover, under the gas tank, to the front. It works great! When I'm not using the GPS, I just tuck the Tomtom connector down below the speedo...

    New Rocker Covers

    Thanks Kingspoke & HerrFarber. The way that I got them was unexpected and they are pricey, but I love their appearance as well.

    Valve Maintenance

    With 1300 miles on mine, the engine noise hasn't changed. I dunno.

    What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting?

    Whatever passes as "premium" here and often with no ethanol. In Tennessee most gas stations sell the usual 10% ethanol choices, but there are stations with "100% gasoline", typically with three octane levels to choose from. I won't put anything with more than 10% ethanol in it.

    Oil leak right side??

    I think that TodkaVonic is spot-on. The chromed cylinderhead cover comes off with just 2 screws and it would be easy to check out the oil fill port, etc. for any potential leak. You may have a simple "oops" that's easy to correct. Truth to tell, even if it needs to go back to the dealer to be...

    BMW (Mustang) Seat options breakdown

    Today my bride took a ride with me on the R18 FOR THE FIRST TIME. She sat on the OEM seat in the showroom and said that she would have nothing to do with it. I couldn't blame her. It was obviously intended to give riders a reason to ride solo. NOW with the Mustang "Weekender" seats on the bike...
