    R18 - Aftermarket ECU options

    I commute on mine so need to overtake often. My average speed over that 18 mile journey was 37 mph over 27 mins. My flaps are open and exhausts drilled. 😂

    R18 - Aftermarket ECU options

    My riding style is somewhere between Bullitt and Mad Max, often seeing 5k RPM, BT here in the UK is quite expensive, like $1000 expensive :oops: I'm not sure that it's worth that much?

    Cleaning exhaust?

    I don't rate Blue Job any better than Autosol, but I'm not sure that you get that Stateside? It's much cheaper and performs just as well. About $6-7 here in Blighty. It would seem that this is likely to do the same thing...

    DYI MANUAL FOR DYI REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

    I put them all inc tyre pressures, oil types and capacities etc on a cheat sheet which I have stuck to my garage wall.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Today I removed the top case from the TC. It gives you a big red brake failure warning when the ignition is switched on but it can be dismissed and then a small yellow triangle is displayed whilst travelling (Update 23 July - this was permanently dismissed with GS911). The case and the frame...

    Floorboards swapped to R18B flatpegs

    Just to mix it up, I find the boards really comfortable...I have short legs. I found the brake lever too low so raised it a few mm.

    No maps after phone call

    Yes and two occasions where it simply stopped communicating with phone when not on a call.

    No maps after phone call

    Mate, it only happend once in the 3 months I've had it. It's almost certain that it will NOT drop out. In any case, the dealer was unable to finish my bike tonight and I'll get it back tomorrow now.

    DOA

    Update from my issues: New software for the bike installed, a flaking manifold replaced ( :oops: ) and a new front tyre. No faults found on the bike software and no TFT/connectivity issues could be replicated. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. The dealer cheerfully stated...

    It's due back today, but before it went in I was told that all updates were installed already.

    Engine Engraved Plate

    Sorry to hear that bud. I have (had?) high hopes for the all year round capability of the finish.

    Engine Engraved Plate

    Update on the plates from Racefoxx. I attended a Club event at the weekend in extreme rain. By the following Tuesday, one of them was starting to rust along the edge of the powder coating. It must be a flawed process as although I asked for a replacement, they refunded me instead saying that...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Not the servo buddies- the exhaust. It has to have servos to alter the pitch? Does it have it's own or use the stock ones? I've got the switchable ones installed myself.

    I published my long-term review of my R18 Classic

    I agree, but the R18 is a flawed inception of the original concept. BMW have staunchly stood by whilst is it marvelled by some and slated by others, but hasn't reacted to the feedback. The handling is good, lean angles are class leading, suspension is good for the most part but it is overly...
