    DOA

    Good call Bob, that's next on the agenda after the DWA battery change...Amazon running late. Absolutely no chance of a free load test here in the UK without the result urgently requiring a new battery :rolleyes:...I'll do it now, delivery delayed, window now 6.30-9.30 pm :mad:

    DOA

    The reason that I mentioned the phone low battery symbol issue, is that because on each occasion the phone had more than 90% charge. It IS an indicator of something, just that I don't know what.

    DOA

    Not quite as dramatic as it sounds. Previously I have had difficulty starting my TC and the PHONE battery symbol was red. The alarm siren has always been muted, as in barely noticeable. That was about 6 weeks ago. Fri I had exactly the same issue for about a minute but this time there was no...

    Leg Rests

    How on earth do you think the parts labelled 4, 7 and 9 are made? They are ordinary nuts set in moulded rubber. You are friggin rude you muppet. I'm not the moron who can't figure out how to fit the rests. Looks like everyone else must have a rocket science degree. Enjoy.

    Leg Rests

    There most definitely are nuts, as I said above. 2 sizes are used.

    Leg Rests

    There are two sizes of nuts used in the fittings.

    Leg Rests

    Me. I have a 29" inseam. I cannot rest my leg comfortably on them. In addition they are fitted with natural rubber spacers with captive nuts embeded at each end of a rubber column, after less than a year of being fitted two have rotted away, which left the rest to flap around. I'm guessing that...

    Back Wheel Removal Angst

    Just a tip, use a soft faced hammer/mallet to tap the exhaust hanger backwards - much easier than pulling and twisting the exhaust.

    Please consider Apple Car Play

    Welcome to the site, sorry that you you can't use the app. Honestly you are not missing much! I wish BMW would include a simple USB connector for MP3 like on the K52 series of R12's.

    Adaptive Headlight Recall Update

    Strange that they don't state that the valve check was done, mine was the same.

    Adaptive Headlight Recall Update

    There is no recall for us yet bud, we are simply read the recall notice which tells us that the headlamp may fail and as yet there is no fix. Motorrad NA, Motorrad EU and Motorrad UK operate as separate entities. Due to litigation risks with class action in the US, recalls and Technical...

    Ebay trunk with lights. How to wire them?

    I don't know the answer, so will pose it anyway. do the naked bikes have the top box connectors fitted as standard under the seat? That would have switched power and braking/running feeds.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    On Saturday last week, I fitted the Healtech switched servo units on a single double pole switch underneath the right battery panel and also drilled the exhausts. Makes a very small difference at idle, but a significant difference from 2000 rpm...I like the change. Problem is that I will burn...

    No Power 22 R 18 B

    Intermittant problems sounds suspiciously like a ground fault. Check that the ground (-ve) connections under the left panel are tight and corrosion free. It'll take about 30 secs to check those and another 30 secs to check the main fuse under the right panel.

    Kern Stabi X518 lift and rear bag protection bars

    Update that I put on another post: "I have to say - it is indeed very easy and very quick to use. It also allows a lift to be used beneath the bike. It would have been extremely difficult to fit my exhaust servo switches without it. You may have seen my update about the handle hitting the rear...

    aftermarket baffle removal question

    According to the website the baffles are removable. Do you have a link to the sound?

    DELETE - Get your kern stabi lift for 20% off

    Forgot to update you :oops:, the import tax was refunded on the very same day. That means without the additional manouvering wheels it cost £240 to the door. I have to say - it is indeed very easy and very quick to use. It also allows a lift to be used beneath the bike. It would have been...

    just hit 2000 miles!

    Yep picked mine up about 6 weeks ago and put on 1500 miles- the bike is now knocking on 12k miles (but the previous owner was conned by the dealer that it needed a 12k service at 10.5k miles (2 years old), so now my servicing schedule is messed up :rolleyes:)
