    R18B front turn signal replacement

    Yes you have to take off the front windscreen fairing to get to the connectors. They are located on the right and left side of the headlight. Scot (Starlord) placed the instructions https://www.r18forums.com/threads/need-help.3622/#post-49369

    The straight scoop on reverse

    I called 2 dealers within 100 miles of me and BMW Motorad USA before taking it to the dealer to get the work done. All claimed to know nothing about the $1000 credit. Well BMW Motorad told me to take it to the dealer and speak with them, which when I did they told me about the credit and took...

    New Windshield for R-18b/t

    I am 5.7 and I put the T/C windscreen on mine and I am able to wear a half lid now. I prefer the look of the stock B windscreen and tried to switch back, but had to put the T/C windscreen back on.

    Need help

    Like Scott says you will need to take the fairing apart and the connections for the blinkers are on each side of the headlight about midway. Left on left side and right on right side.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Nice way to put it.... I brought mine to ride, never once thought to sell even with the recalls. For my enjoyment, maybe 10 years from now I will think about resell.... But for now it is my pleasure to ride,

    Speaker Subs whining after shutoff

    Do you have any recent additional power hookups? Such as lights, powered phone craddles.... If so check the polarity of those connections.

    Aftermarket Mirrors

    What Scott said is the same.... normal riding and below 75mph they are great!! At 80+mph and on hard exceleration you get lots of vibration. On the average I do not notice it because I am not normally in those situations.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Yeah I need to find something else, I got the RSD machined covers for the brake and clutch reservoir and wanted the TC wind deflectors. But just 2 of the parts for the deflectors totaled up to $1600 so I need to find something else for the other $650.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Ok over the phone no one speaks about the $1000 credit, once I got my bike to the service dept they gave the credit.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Just my luck the 2 dealers near me have no recall of the $1000 accessories credit and seems as though BMW Recalls know nothing of it either.... :cry:

    The Culture of Chrome vs Black

    I feel you on this somewhat, I was always wanting chrome wheels and trim, the more chrome the better. But then my wife wanted black wheels for her truck and wanted me to get rid of most of the chrome trim. After doing so I started liking the look. Buying my R18B with all its black trim made...

    2021 BMW R18 First Edition For Sale

    I used the Kern-Stabi for cleaning and I noticed it easily raised the front wheel so I could spin and clean it, but the rear wheel stayed with weight on the ground. After I lowered the front wheels on the Kern-Stabi I noticed the rear wheel of the R came off the ground slightly but still...

    R 18 Bagger To K 1600 B

    Love the way you put it "The K is in my opinion a sports bike on steroids with a lot of comfort and definitely set up for long distance touring." 🤣 Have to hold on to that phrase.... Best way to say it!!

    R 18 Bagger To K 1600 B

    I love my R18B for the tech and the low seating position. My wife prefers to be on the K1600GTL whenever we go out, especially if it is for any distance riding. But now more than ever I notice I am sort of on my tippy toes when riding the K1600. But it reminds me more of my sport bikes with an...

    2021 BMW R18 First Edition For Sale

    So is that the way to lift the rear tire off the ground with the Kern-Stabi? I noticed with the front wheels on the lift the rear wheel barely comes off the ground, so I have to give it a try that way....
