    Question Found in my tool kit.

    You can get the Motoscan app and use it on your R18. It will work on your car with the right app.

    New adjustable deflectors

    Aliexpress is now selling adjustable wind deflectors for the R18B that are similar to the Transcontinental OEM deflectors. I bought a set and installed them. They work very well and will work with the R18B front turn signals without modifications. I did make a couple of mods to them though...

    The same size oil filter wrench is probably used on several other makes and models of both cars and bikes.

    Nice Ride Today

    It turned in to a beautiful day today on the coast. Took a ride up Highway 1 for a bit and stopped at the Moss Landing Harbor for dinner. I think I finally have everything setup on the bike that way I like it and I'm ready for some serious rides coming up this year. I'm retiring in November...

    Oil Leak Help

    That looks like a strange place for a main seal leak. I am thinking it may be coming from the airbox from oil collecting there from the crankcase vent. If you have overfilled the crankcase perhaps excess oil was pushed into the airbox. Just a thought. It would not be too difficult to remove...

    These boots are made for... ríding.

    Last year I bought a pair of KLIM Outlander boots with the BOA lacing system. I am very happy with them. I really like the BOA - just pull up to loosen the boots and when you slide them on a couple of twists tighten them right up...

    Clutch Fluid Choices

    Magura may actually make the BMW clutch master cylinder - they make a lot of motorcycle components for other manufacturers.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Using a Hex EZcan that I wired to my driving lights mounted on my crashbars - I programmed the EXCan to only supply about 20% power to the lights when on low beam and switch to full power when high beams are turned on. This way the lights act as running lights when on low beams. I also...

    Beautiful Day

    GIVI makes a quick disconnect kit that is included in the lighting kit. It has an electrical receptacle that mounts into the bottom of the case and an electrical plug that fits into the GIVI case mounting plate. When you snap the case into position it plugs itself in. You have and electrical...

    Beautiful Day

    I like it. Decent size - I can fit two helmets in it. It also pops off with a push of a button - I added the light kit with turn signals and top rack. I found a winged BMW emblem to replace the GIVI emblem. It looks factory.

    Clutch fluid colour

    With a 6mm wrench clamped in a long reach needle-nose pliers (maybe a long reach vise grip would work better) you can reach in above the drive shaft behind the battery and break loose the bleed screw.

    Clutch fluid colour

    If you have trouble finding the Hyspin V10 fluid you can buy Magura Royal Blood Blue fluid - It is the same thing.

    Noise at 2200 rpm

    What kind of front tire do you have. There have been quite a few issues with front Michelin Commander III tires causing vibration. Michelin is replacing these tires for those that have problems.
