    Motoscan

    Yep it feels like they used a manhole lid for a flywheel! It still surprises me sometimes when downshifting prior to entering a curve just a little hot…right when I blip the throttle between gears it’s like “What’d I run over? Oh nothing.”

    Motoscan

    Questions: Looking at the display on your bike is the Service Reminder gone? If it is, all is well. Does the display on your bike say 10,000 miles or km? You can change the display. When I reset mine, I saw the same read-out but on the Motoscan screen, I tried to change it from Km to M and...

    How would you describe the R18?

    Being an obvious lover of motorcycles I would wager that yes, you would love a Motus MST. From the sweet V-4 mill to the noisy mechanical torque converter (the growler) to the “Frankenstein” assemblage of both original and proprietary parts it is truly a great motorcycle. It broke my heart when...

    Essential R18 Aftermarket Solutions

    Yes I have! And the support points are slightly wider in stance than what a center stand would provide. Of course "your mileage may vary" but I will not post anything of advice on this or any forum if not tried and trued by me in my shop, on my lift, with my tools.

    Essential R18 Aftermarket Solutions

    The small saddles on my scissors jack contact the mounting brackets just slightly rear of the fame but ahead fo the swing arm and lifts/supports the bike perfectly without having to remove the mufflers and brackets.

    Is it possible to reset service warning

    The MOTOSCAN app (Pro version) is pretty cool too . Tailor made for BMW motorcycles. You'll find the reset service light in the Dashboard menu. The screen has a completely different look from the Hexcode GS-911 but was easily navigated!

    Hexcode GS-911 Status on R18's

    That pretty much mirrors the reply that I received from their Support Desk after I sent them what my GS-911 read when I plugged it into my R18. That is why I immediately bought an OBDLink scan tool and downloaded the Pro version of MOTOSCAN and "got the job done" for about $130. The primary need...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I just looked it up: Reverse shift lever mod? Anyone see this before? Is it a solution looking for a problem? Any interest? https://www.mv-motorrad.de/en/MV-Extended-Reverse-Gear-Lever-BMW-R18.htm

    Is it possible to reset service warning

    I posted this on April 16th : I found a solution the the GS-911 dilemma: Just walk away from it and find another way. For just a little more than what a dealer charges for an hour's labor PLUS with the added benefit of not having to go through the hassle of visiting the service department to...

    Is it possible to reset service warning

    The GS-911 will read and clear trouble codes but WILL NOT reset the service light at this time. Use an OBDLink scan tool + Motoscan app

    R-18 shop manual

    Yes I will be glad to see it! The mother ship has definitely let us down on this and accessories! I love my R18 but I swear I’d never have bought it when I did had I known BMW was gonna do us this way.
