    Any parts From R18 Bagger can set for R18 and R18c

    If you've followed any of the threads at all on this forum , you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. So this explanation is not for you (because I believe you know better), rather it's for those here who are new and haven't been here since day one. I agree with Black Dog about the overall...

    Any parts From R18 Bagger can set for R18 and R18c

    I believe whether or not we are talking about stock parts or accessories or repair manuals they all use part numbers, which I referred to in my post. And the part numbers I am talking about are not available. Still. Beat your drum as loud as you wish, in the meantime I am still waiting for parts...

    And when they do they won't be "available" so what's the point?

    BMW Done Sheet the Bed

    I can’t speak for Black Dog of course, and I like the newest model too but only because I’m sure it’s a well sorted out motorcycle and NOT because it’s innovative or cool or special. Harley has that market and that look nailed down perfect. They are the best in that market. Like he said, if...

    Today is the day the R18 died.

    All I wanted was a shop manual BMW.

    R18 handlebar question.

    Hey JBacklund! Black Dog comes on a little strong but he's a knowledgeable and valuable forum member. Just don't feed the dog! Stick around. This is a great forum!!

    Thanks Svtweb! You'd think the most current revision could be magically leaked to us!!

    R18 handlebar question.

    There is plenty of service information in this forum and on YouTube at the BMW MOA videos page. We should be seeing service shop manuals available by 2024.

    I don't have time to do this, but I have time to participate. A much needed text (if legit) is available at a gouging price: https://diyrepairmanuals.com/product/2021-bmw-r-18-shop-service-repair-manual/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI18vL4Yf-8QIVVWxvBB1DjgJCEAQYASABEgJhEvD_BwE I f we did a group purchase...

    Fishtail

    It is good that you got to learn that lesson while keeping the shiny side up!!

    Valve adjust

    There is one consideration to remember…be precise because as they wear they get tighter. A little “noisy” ain’t all bad. That said, if you’re going to religiously stay on your adjustments by all means set to the tighter spec. Just don’t wait until you hear them get noisy…they won’t.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Your post suggests that there is no fuse in the positive side? I say this because fusing both ends of the circuit is pointless. Recommended practice is to place the fuse as close as possible to the positive terminal of the battery. Placing the fuse close to the source of power protects the...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    When you decide to actually access the battery properly you should move the fuse to the + side.
