@dannyleo I think @Noelpolar is spot on as to the pathetic lack of proper suspension adjustment on the early R18 bikes for media use as well as dealership test rides and/or deliveries. That has been widely shared and hopefully no longer an issue, but obviously the B and TC have the rear...

Glad your getting in a few miles on your R18. We're all so different in our ergonomic comfort, but I also have 30 inch stump legs with a weekender seat on my Classic and find this setup works fairly well for me, but obviously this is a very subjective topic as to results. I ride a bunch too...

Many of my tires have offered various levels of “humming” on different pavement types, lean angles or as they have worn with some being downright obnoxious. I am very careful with air pressure and it has been with different manufacturers with sport touring, adventure tires and cruiser tires too...

Those comments are painful to read, not even up to the "standards" of input the drivel kool aid drinking trolls normally leave regardless Brand or Model.

Sounds like a cool shop! Good luck and I have stocked up on 🍺 and 🍿

The 30 ah is fairly stout and while the formula for CCA is standard, it seems the different types (glass mat v. Lithium, etc.) don't always show or use the same multipliers they use to calculate their advertise "power" so I'm not positive a Lithium 400+ CCA actually is really capable of more...

Beautiful hack!

His country is listed as "China".

Ignore it, source a "gs911" tool that will reset this alert as well as handling future servicing functions or have the dealer do it if convenient. I wouldn't pay them as they should have reset the "clock" when they did your 600 service unless that was a year ago? Anyway, the warning is...

The Fat Bob is one of the best HD models IMO and not really one I would feel poorly about if I was working hard on my R18 to keep a friend in sight if we were both reasonably competent riders and found ourselves on roads that were tighter/technical v. more open sweepers. The Fat Bob is at least...

I haven't had any problems with Commander IIs on my Victory Cross Country or the new Michelin IIIs now on my R18 Classic. Many cross country trips in all types of weather to include "bow wave" deep water and slushy snow covering mountain two lanes to Interstates with good wear, predictable...

Great paint choice, she looks great! Welcome and enjoy 🍻 🍻

Bel-Ray is good stuff, I'd use the exs, but the exp juice would work well too.

There is a thread on the forum with the price sheet reference the BMW OEM extended warranty. This provides coverage just like the original new bikes have and IMO vastly better than any aftermarket vendor like RPM. In your case with the bike being so "new" and with so few miles I would spring for...

Grumps, Agree with first doing a simple check like Ulrich suggested and if any doubt as to the level I too would drain while saving the contents as Scott Semone said would be prudent. As a possible wildcard explanation for that obnoxious whining while riding is it possible you are hearing...

Like your HDs, the R18 uses different lubricants for engine oil and transmission so pretty much any "top shelf" oil that meets spec will be just fine. We all have our favorites and just for reference, the current "global" vendor for BMW labeled engine oil is Shell, but in the not so distant past...

Welcome and Thank You for your Service! Sounds like a great stable and the R18 should add a bunch of fun to your riding options. There's alot of good info within the forum posts and some very knowledgeable and helpful folks here too. Basically she'll get better and better as you get a few miles...

Congratulations and welcome!
