    Flushing/Bleeding the Clutch

    Maybe I'm missing something here or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about! Doesn't the clutch fluid need to be flushed/bled on the R18? I haven't been able to read anything about it anywhere. Can someone enlighten me?

    Maybe I'm blind, but can someone explain what the difference is between the BMW and MOPAR GL-5 differential fluids?

    About six month ago I tried to trade in my 2021 R18FE back to the same dealership I bought it from in October of 2021. It was a demo bike with 273 miles and I paid right around 15K for it. The cast wheels I purchased separately, because I couldn't deal with having inner tubes, set me back an...

    These BMW tactics totally suck. I swear to God that If I had been aware of everything that I am aware now in regards to this motorcycle, and as much as I like the brand, I would have passed on it.

    Tube or Tubeless

    I bought the BMW cast wheels two weeks into my ownership after realising the rims the bike came with were not tubeless.

    Drive Shaft Illumination

    You are such a sensitive individual! That illuminated drive shaft is just an idiotic, worthless, unnecessary , kitschy idea. Write to the moderators and ask, or maybe even order them, to give me a temporary ban for speaking my mind. Don't forget to add that you're in search of a safe...

    Drive Shaft Illumination

    Bad taste. That's about all I can say about that. And no, the beauty is not in the eye of the beholder. Never has been.

    Drive Shaft Illumination

    What would this bike be without a drive shaft illuminator from Wunderlich America?

    Bmw breakdown assistance UK…NOT

    If all Boxers can do that why didn't BMW just simply dismiss the claims that the bike likes to smoke cigars out of its left pipe? Instead of doing that BMW redesigned the piston and the rings which in turn cured the problem. It was a design flaw. I had that problem with my 2021 FE.

    What you need to do as soon as possible is to replace the spoked rims with cast rims. You'd be using tubeless tires. That way you can fix a flat and not be at the mercy of I don't know what towing service taking you and the bike I don't know where. Get the Nealey Tire Repair Kit. It's the best...

    How cold have you rode?

    How cold? I was borderline hypothermic but since I enjoy not being in control of my senses I had a blast, so to speak! I try to accomplish that feat every year between Christmas and New Year, and since I'm living a solitary life I'm always by myself, feeling small in this natural world of...

    How many miles on your R18?

    It can't be that much unless they plan on replacing the valve cover gaskets ($175.00 each) even if they're in good shape and don't need to be replaced. I paid $335.00 for valve check and adjustment -it was needed-
