They are left and right. The healtech site says 2 of the switched eliminators are needed on the R18.

Both of these weight oils are GL-5 spec. Has anyone got any experience of running 75W? I can't see that 75W would be much thicker in colder climates and the UK is officially temperate being warmer than both Washington and Maine on similar latitudes as we are warmed by the sea, so we don't get...

Welcome GP. As said, you'd be looking at the TC model. The tech concerns me as it's more to go wrong, but no massive issues are known currently but I believe that North America as a whole has a stop on sales at the moment due to a potentially failing adaptive headlight, but that may not extend...

The plug appears to be BMW part number 83300413582.

I tested with a test light and a multimeter. It gave out 14.28v with the engine running.

Just for clarity it is NOT the same size plug that was/is on the R12 series which is often listed as a GPS plug. This plug is a MID090005 plug. The plug on the left is from the R12 series with the blank socket from this one...

It's behind the OBD2 socket. No need to take the battery cover off. Red/yellow is live, brown ground. It is an engine switched live, so even with ignition on there is no power until the engine is running. Thanks for the assist. 👍🏻

It will also reduce the octane by a few single digits, so an octane booster is recommended. Once set up it's not much trouble to do. I confess to trying it on a small scale for chainsaws, but I really couldn't be bothered (I was only doing it in 2 ltr soda pop bottles).

Welcome mate, the UK members are growing! Pull up a chair and grab a coffee- plenty to read on here. Whereabouts in the UK are you?

Can't identify one on mine, once the panel is replaced whereabouts are you looking specifically please?

I'm mainly wearing an armoured aramid (kevlar) checked shirt.

Over the pond here we get 95 unleaded (E10) and 97 unleaded (E5) I get marginally better mileage on E5. I would stick with the 93 unleaded.

42 Imp MPG on E10, I get more (48-50) on E5 but it costs much more.

This might help some people: https://www.r1800wiki.org/en/2024/05/12/klappensteuerung-auspuff/ The exhaust is dismantled so that you can clearly see the flaps in the manifold. It is important to understand that the flap position ensures compliance with legal regulations at certain speeds. This...

They can have, but I am not sure. A loaner I had from BMW had them.

It is intermittent and non essential. Often switching off and on cures it. I spent 5hrs at the dealer today whilst they "just" replaced the top box struts. 🙄

Two different things. The Eliminator (you need two) allows you to remove your servo motor and have permanently open valves which is the default position with the cables removed. The other (again you need two) is a switch that allows you to control the servo, so you can run with the valve open or...

The SOS error is usually a software update (on RT's anyway) - mine had it. I have fuel gauge issues too but different in that my analogue gauge is more accurate than the digital display one- the digital one often reporting that I have a 190 mile range when full :rolleyes:
