    Rude interruption of riding season

    Fuel Pump Whine

    I cannot speak for this model's fuel pump characteristics (more about that pesky missing shop service manual elsewhere in this forum) but my experience is that although some vary in speed proportionate to demand MOST run at a constant speed to simply maintain a constant pressure. Typically you...

    Setting the proper preload for the rear suspension

    Yep those settings are in the owners manual but in fairness to Moxie, there're are a lot of other things in the owners manual too, like tire pressure, and fluid levels, and other very basic things that should be addressed before delivery by the dealer.

    Setting the proper preload for the rear suspension

    Yes they should've but in fairness they were probably, like the rest of us, simply waiting on the shop service manual to become available. LOL

    Corbin Saddles for the R-18...

    Hello! I can't speak for the Gunfighter seat (from any manufacturer). But I can speak for the excellent quality and comfort of Corbin Seats. I have had several and currently have one on 3 of the 4 bikes listed in my sig. I have the solo and pillion on my R18 and it places no pressure on my lower...

    Spoke wheel torque standard?any one know?5NM? Or 6.5 NM?

    You likely already know this but here is my free advice for this lovely Friday: Whenever you are checking and adjusting your spokes be sure and use a truing stand (or a balancing stand with a suitable device for tracking the rim as is turns). Alternatively you can make a reasonable check with...

    BMW (Mustang) Seat options breakdown

    I have no experience with the Mustang seats available for the R18 BUT I have owned 8 Mustang seats over the years and EVERY SINGLE ONE has been excellent. But that said, Corbin is still my preference. The one on my R18 is the 5th Corbin seat I've owned. Corbin's quality, long term resiliency and...

    Exhaust Bluing/Discoloration

    The best long term fix is to richen up the mix. "Emission compliant" lean runs terribly hot. The aftermarket will catch up before too much longer and enable us do some performance tuning. In the mean time try to avoid extended idle situations and buy some Blue Away.

    R18 with Sidecar '

    I hear ya! I've used both leading link and reduced trail (or "raked") triple trees on various rigs and they do make a difference. Beach bars will increase steering leverage and help some but don't even come close to "fixing" the front geometry.

    R18 with Sidecar '

    You don’t need to modify the front geometry (there are a few ways to accomplish it) BUT after a few miles with cruiser-style bikes without addressing the front end you will wish to Hell you had’ve!
