    Adaptive Headlight Recall Update

    My dealer in SC informed me last week that BMW has issued a "Stop-Ride" due to the headlight issue. He said the fix is expected to be released in June. I told him unless BMW wants to make a payment, I'll continue to ride as long as the headlight isn't an issue. Mine hasn't failed, yet, knock on...

    Software updates

    You are absolutely correct, nothing improper about doing your own maintenance. While you are well qualified, maybe even more qualified than most, I don't have to keep that documentation, videos, pictures, torque specs, etc., they have all that on file for me. Then when the warranty is out, I...

    Software updates

    If it makes you feel all warm and cozy to do maintenance yourself then by all means go for it. Me personally, I am confident in knowing that if a warranty issue arrives, I will have no issue supplying maintenance reports as all maintenance is performed at a certified BMW center. As stated in the...

    Software updates

    It's not a warranty service. They don't charge for software updates, they check for updates when you take the bike in for service. Download speed has impact on how fast it takes, the downloading of the update is quick, it's the installation of the update and the number of updates from my...

    Software updates

    Just FYI, I went today for my annual service on my 2022 R18 TC and the tech informed me that every module had a software update. Each module takes a couple hours so I am scheduling an appointment on another day to leave it with them as he said it may take 8 - 12 hours for all the updates. So, if...

    Who designed this ?

    Here is how I solved the chrome glare of the gas cap cover. I put a faux leather vinyl wrap on it.

    Phone performance for navigation

    I have my phone BT paired with my helmet, the BMW Connect App requires WiFi to be on. My phone isn't connected to the TFT by BT. My helmet is BT to the bike. So, phone BT to helmet, WiFi to Bike, then helmet BT to Bike. Everything works great.

    Phone performance for navigation

    Something may not be correct on the way yours is connected, mine does show the highlighted route. Then when I go to full screen navigation it shows the highlighted route and in a small block to the right it the turn by turn with distance before the next turn and which lane to be in.

    Phone performance for navigation

    I just got back from a 400 mile trip, no issues with navigation. I keep my phone plugged up and in the cradle. The only complaint, but I guess it's more a safety issue, you must find your destination and save as a favorite in order to pull it up quickly while riding. Other than that, worked...

    Front Wheel Noise

    I have noticed on smooth blacktop roads it very unnoticeable where a not so smooth paved road hums more? It's really no big issue for me, turn the radio up louder, that works for me, LOL.
