So is the 15w-50...many race cars run it...It has extra zinc in it to protect fast moving parts under high temperatures. Since the 18 has a dry clutch, the zinc poses no issue...and most importantly, is the correct viscosity. My bike hauls ass and loves it...

Sure it would work fine, but why not use Mobil 1's 15w-50? I use it... It's even better and through Walmart you can get a 5qt bottle for about $30. I use it and my 18 loves it! Engine is nice and quiet...

Indeed they are! Haven you noticed any differences in handling?

I average 42 mpg with the tune and DNA2 with 93 octane ethanol free fuel. OR, 93 octane fuel with ethanol treated with Lucas Oil fuel conditioner additive. Your bike is running leaner without the tune.

Please post a picture of the whole bike with the new wheels. Thks!

I'd love to do the same. Not a fan of spoked wheels. But the cost is a significant fraction of what the bike cost!

Pirelli..luv them.

Has to be the tire(s)..based on what you've described. Not thrilled with the C3s on my bike...although I don't have the problems you are experiencing. Take it to a different dealer and have them check it out. It sounds obvious.

I have an 21 R18C. No wobbles here...It vibrates, in rock mode, but that's normal. *Wobbling* leads me to believe it shimmies laterally with respect to forward movement? Or, is it just bouncing up and down?

I average 42-45 mpg. I did the DNA stage 2 mod as well.

Exactly. Use your head, and let logic dictate action, not hype or opinion.

Buy a Harley? NFW...never. Over priced, archaic, far, far too common, attitude...dealer attitude, boring...etc. I have a second gen Honda Valkyrie 1800 that hauls ass, and blows away most cruisers, including even the newest, stock CVOs... The R18 is unique, and with the upgrades as mentioned...

So this is a lie?

I wouldn't do that. The stock air filter was designed to work in accordance with the stock air box arrangement. The DNA filter is more restrictive, and designed to run without the snorkles.

Actually the sooner you do it the better. The bike just runs better...period. In it's stock tuning I think it runs too lean...which isn't good for anything. .running too hot...bluing the header pipes prematurely. I tuned mine right after the 600mi service.

I like it! Bike has near 7K now and is running fantastically. As mentioned, I had it Brentuned, and performed the DNA Stage 2 air cleaner upgrade. The bike with 93 octane fuel, and with traction control turned off is an ANIMAL now. I swear I can feel the front wheel coming up while going...

Sounds better too! Give the bike a few runs to fully adjust.
