    Wimpy Horn Replacement

    Can you post a picture of your horn? I want to see if it's the same as on my 2023 classic.

    How so heavy?

    The unobtainium that the reverse gear is made off adds a lot.

    Sorry. That's a typo. My manual (2023 Classic) shows 158Nm which converts to ~116ft-lb.

    Ditto, a lot of Harley and Indian guys come over and ask about it. I always get "I didn't know BMW made bikes like that. It's beautiful." The Indian guys always compare how we get 166ft-lb of torque out of 91hp to the 83ft-lbs of torque out of 111hp with the same size engine. Chain vs...

    Close Call! What would you do?

    Do you what the db rating is for the classic's horn? Hornig claims this is the same horn that is on the TC.

    If the bike is only two years old, have you tried to get new ones under warranty? In the US it's 36,000 miles or 3 years, whichever comes first.
