It works PERFECTLY on my R18c.

Of course trading it in you're gonna take a big hit. Dealers buy *used* bikes at wholesale prices, and sell at retail used prices. Car dealers do the same, as do musical instrument dealers. Suggest you sell it outright..but bare in mine new models are being heavily discounted. Additionally...

I just went ahead and put two new Cruisetecs on the bike... OUTSTANDING...way better then those awful C3s were. I wouldn't mix them personally....not worth the few dollars for safety and ride characteristics! You only have two wheels!

I've done the same and the results are excellent. Night and day diff over stock... especially running high grade, 93octane fuel. At 7400mi it just keeps getting better. I noted around 5k when it really started building more power, smoother, better fuel mileage...and of course the sound...

Yes, inquiring minds need to know!

Yep

Which ones do u recommend? Thks!

Finally, deep sixed those awful Michelin Commander 3s...and installed some Metzler Cruisetecs....HUGE upgrade! Just breaking them in and they're already far, far better then them slippery ass C3s... Just look at how beefy they look!

Deep sixin' the Michelin C3s...Next up: Metzler Cruisetec. Not cheap though..$800 installed. Wtf, and fk Covid.

Yeah, the Michy Pilot 4s and 5s were excellent tires, but these C3s are slippery bricks that follow contours in the road...

Okay, like I have about 7500 miles on my 21' R18C. Absolutely love the bike, breaking in very nicely, and building more power with every ride... Thought I would never like it more then my 2 generation, 6 cylinder Honda Valkyrie 1800, but I am. The Honda is faster and smoother...more torque...

As was suspected from the beginning. The dealer should have caught this! I have C3s on my bike, and I don't like them. About 7500mi on my bike...They're slippery...and the front tire has a low spot ..although I have no wobble.

You will be fine. I have been riding mine in rock mode since brand new...has about 7K on it now and runs way better then new.

I average 46mpg with my R18c, Brentuned, DNA2, ethanol free 93 oct. 7k miles. And you're right...it just keeps getting better! Oh, and btw, it rips!

Well the manual wants you to use 70-80w full synthetic gear oil. There is a few other specs that is listed, but you would have to read the manual to be sure. I am still using the BMW oil in the trans that it came with...as the bike has 7k. But at 12k I will change it per the manual. You can...

So is the 15w-50...many race cars run it...It has extra zinc in it to protect fast moving parts under high temperatures. Since the 18 has a dry clutch, the zinc poses no issue...and most importantly, is the correct viscosity. My bike hauls ass and loves it...

Sure it would work fine, but why not use Mobil 1's 15w-50? I use it... It's even better and through Walmart you can get a 5qt bottle for about $30. I use it and my 18 loves it! Engine is nice and quiet...

Indeed they are! Haven you noticed any differences in handling?

I average 42 mpg with the tune and DNA2 with 93 octane ethanol free fuel. OR, 93 octane fuel with ethanol treated with Lucas Oil fuel conditioner additive. Your bike is running leaner without the tune.

Please post a picture of the whole bike with the new wheels. Thks!
