Dear BMW Motorrad - This is a hope that you will take this feedback seriously. The BMW touring and cruiser bikes with the 10.25” TFT screens need the CA (Connected App) navigation seriously needs to be updated. The CA navigation as it is currently is fine for basic A to B routing. But the...

My left front fork became marred by a stupid mistake I made that I won’t disclose. 🥹 Anyway, here’s a picture of the issue. I’m pretty sure the front forks are anodized, but they could be powder coated or painted. I’m trying to find some paint that’s equivalent to the fork’s silver color. I did...

I’m looking for a switched power wire on the TC/B that I can easily tap into. Something under the seat and easily accessible would be great.

I find the Connected App’s GPS/navigation lacking on my TC. I’m curious if anyone’s mounted a Garmin or such on their B or TC, and if so how did you do it? Not interested in using a phone for navigation, but a real GPS.

I saw this tank bag on some YouTube video, but I have no idea who makes or sells it - anyone know?

So on my previous K1600 GTL I had a center stem mount RAM ball with arm extension to hold a 8" tablet I was using for MRA navigation. Obviously my 23 Transcontinental does not have a center stem mount location. Can anyone recommend a RAM ball mount location so I could attempt mounting the...

Sold my 2021 R18 TC 1st Edition a while back and bought a 2022 K1600 GTL. Well circumstances have brought me back to a 2023 Gravity Blue R18 TC. I'm trading in my K16 for this TC. The reason? My wife likes to ride with me, but back issues are making it harder and more painful to get on and...

Bike is in pristine condition and the price is reduced to $21,000 with clear title in hand. 6,362 miles with the 6K service just completed. Due to back issues, I can no longer ride this bike. More info and pictures can be found here: R18 TC for Sale

Does anyone else have the Trip function’s “Automatic Reset” keep setting itself to off after the bike is turned off? I set it to On (checking the box), but I have to keep doing that whenever I turn the bike back on. Anyone else?

Does anyone know how the TC’s lower deflectors just above the cylinder heads can be removed?

I have a Pitbull front wheel stand that worked great on my previous R1200RT and K1600 Grand America. However, that stand is too narrow for my R18. Anyone know of a front wheel stand that will work?

Has anyone bought their B or TC with the stock seat and then upgraded to the BMW Comfort High Seat? I’m finding my TC’s stock seat to be a bit lacking in the comfort department, and the aftermarket (Corbin and Sargent for example) don’t have anything available yet. So I was maybe interested in...

I didn’t see anything in the manual, but are there any engine break-in procedures I should follow before the 600 mile service?

I’m hoping to pick up my TC in the next couple weeks. In the meantime I wanted to ask those with the TFT if the maps and navigation is working correctly, along with media. I’m particularly interested in how iPhones are working with the system. Thanks!

I'm planning on getting a R18 Transcontinental. I don't believe there is a center stand option for this bike, but I could be wrong? Anyway, I'm assuming there is not, so I have a single jack that I wonder if it can be used to lift either the front or rear wheel of this bike. I've "heard"...

Anyone know if these bikes have had any TFT firmware updates since they were released? I test rode a R18 TC and the TFT was flakey and wouldn't keep the radio connected.

Hey folks - I currently ride a BMW Grand America, but will be selling it. It’s a nice bike except for the audio system and the main reason I’ll be selling it - the bike’s instability on the freeway. When I’m riding solo at freeway speeds the instability just gets too fatiguing for me after some...
