No choice here (and I suspect worldwide) BMW has decreed that at the service interval the unit Will be disabled by the technician. There is no "if you don't mind Sir..." already had that conversation - I didn't win..

My biggest issue with this recall/deactivation issue is that I need the reverser. I have a slight incline into my driveway, nothing severe - but enough. I tried yesterday to manually coax "Brynhildr - my Big Bavarian B&^%$#" backwards into my garage (as advised by the dealer as the work-around!)...

BMW Australia advise that once the remedy has been determined, it will replace and reactivate the "Reverse Assist". Apparently, it is an issue with the potential for a major short within the system that could have a cascade affect throughout the bike shutting down other vital systems at the...

Yes, I bought the 5 year service package. I have just been advised that the 3 year package would be added to the 5 year package, thus making it 8 years/80,000km's of servicing (excl. tyres).

See my post - Full recall in Australia with a mandated compulsory deactivation of the "Reverser".

Compulsory deactivation of the "Reverse Assist" function and mandatory recall issued in Australia. [ Fantastic, on the eve of a 4000km round trip from Brisbane to the Australian motoGP on Phillip Island in 2 weeks - right when I need the reverse assist most. BMW is offering a 3year extension to...

TOW BAR [trailer hitch] + trailer wire socket fitted to R18 Transcontinental. Hitch is from Texas Sidecars. Claimed tongue weight of 40lbs (yes as a citizen of the rest of the civilized world I had to do an online conversion to derive 19kg tongue weight (rounded to 20kg tongue weight) -...

Is it possible to recalibrate the speedometer on the R18 (specifically the Transcontinental)? Mine reads 6kph low. In other words, at 106kph indicated speed I am actually only travelling at 100kph. I derived this from using two independent GPS signals - one using the WAZE app, and the other...

Update - BMW Australia preempted the adaptive headlight issue and preordered numerous units to hold in stock. No questions asked - straight swap out. Only unfortunate part for me, my dealership (Teammoto Springwood) has to retrofit a replacement dash-chrome panel (why it's called that bemuses...

I read these threads with interest and amusement. The simplest solution would be for North America to join the rest of the civilized world and use the colour AMBER for turn indicators. Never have a case in Australia where one is confused whether someone is braking or turning (unless they have...

I fail to see what any of your issues are - I have simply said that I, like the majority of people, are sick and tired of the woke agenda being jammed down everyone's throat. Not once have I espoused and hate toward anyone, people can do what they want - just don't insist that I have to accept...

Racist? I will accept your apology - I am not racist. I find your comments a disgrace, distasteful, vulgar and offensive and bordering on defamatory. I am simply stating what 99% of the world thinks about the woke agenda. We are each entitled to our opinion. It was "Voltaire" who is quoted as...

Its not hate speech - its reality.

I actually think we should get political. It's the silent majority that are being ridden roughshod by the Alphabet wielding woke community. I am so unwoke that I am asleep, and I am proud and loud to be politically incorrect. I don't care if this offends the woke community - it's time that the...

BMW Australia are ahead of the curve. They have a large inventory of adaptive headlights. My replacement is due by Fri 16 August 24.

Looks like mine may not be the "grommet" issue. The actual light assembly within the sealed beam has cocked to the right so that it sends a low beam off to the right and high. Result -- low beam = high beam being fired off at about 5 degrees to the right - dazzles everyone approaching...

Mine, unfortunately, doesn't anymore. It stays cocked to the right (as you sit on the bike) at about 10-15 degrees recessed - result, low beam = high-beam pointed off and high to the right. There is a replacement headlight on order through my dealership. Not sure if there are any in Australia...

Does anyone know if it is possible to reset the alignment of the LED light source in the adaptive headlight. I believe that with my TC headlight, that the reflectors are intact, it is just the servo motor (or whatever gismo BMW use) to control the light bar that is unresponsive.
