With those huge savings maybe you will consider donating half of it for a good cause. I am leaving for South America in a couple of weeks and be gone for a few months. Your six bucks will go a long way! Should I give you my PayPal account?

I share the same thoughts based on riding one for five years. Road King my arse...

Thanks!

Amazing. Nobody knows...

4,800 miles and I'm doing a lot better. City riding with the occasional run on the freeway for 10 to 15 miles and I am @39.5 mpg Not bad at all. I'm gonna go on a ride to the ocean and back pretty soon, and curious to see what I'm gonna get 260 miles later.

I can fit a hex socket or a torx socket and both seem to fit even though the hex socket feels like the right fit and the torx has a little bit of play. Which one do you use? The guy on YouTube that has a few videos for oil, tranny and final drive fluid change uses a torx socket.

What Michelin tires are you running on your R18? What mileage do you get out of them?

The solution is a software update. It was released sometime in October of last year.

A Russell Day Long will put a quick and very comfy stop to your seat dilemma. The best...

I never got 40mpg or above, so I have a question for the ones that do. Do you guys stay in the power band most of the time and never short shift, or do you actually ride this bike as if it had a 300cc engine and ride it with the mind of a 85 year old rider? What's the secret of your spectacular mpg?

And I am Kevin Spacey in American Beauty!! LOL

You sound like a teenager that just watched the movie American Pie for the first time.

Why don't you just play it cool and stick with discussing motorcycles rather than venturing into the world of politics?

Great. Thanks a lot again!

MotoRey, do you happen to have the torque value for the transmission drain plug? By the way, thank you for all the info.

Went to the dealership and spent about 25 minutes there. Talked to someone in service, he looked at the transmission parts fiche, found the drain and fill plugs but no crush washers! That's impossible, I said. After about 10 minutes more the guy comes back with a printed version that showed...

I know... I'm going to go to the dealership today and check with one of the mechanics. Will let you know about my findings later in the day.

Thanks for the response but the question was about the transmission fill and drain plugs, not the crankcase or final drive. My local BMW dealership told me/showed me the two plugs not having crush washers at all. I am puzzled because the R18 maintenance videos on Youtube clearly show that the...

My dealership told me there are no crush washers for the tranny drain and fill plugs but the video on Youtube shows the crush washers. Do you guys have the part number(s) for the crush washers and maybe the torque value(s) for those two bolts?
