    Quick exhaust comparison

    I felt like the Acro sound a little more higher pitched than Stock and the modded one. Modded one had similar notes to my freedom.

    Eventually I will go Lithium, but for the time being that sucker is going to be on a tender unless I'm on her riding.

    Shark Road slip on mufflers 2021 R18 Classic

    I saw these a few days after I had just installed my Freedom exhaust on mine, and was pissed that I didn't find out about them before installing the freedom. Main reason that go me so miffed was because these guys actually use the standard mounting brackets as the OEM mounts and that would've...

    Battery Problems

    That's so weird that it says that it supposed to shut off after a minute because it definitely did not in my case. Luckily it was only when I was getting gas so the light weren't on for too long, but they were on the entire time.

    Battery Problems

    No worries. I took the bike out today around town and the freeway a bit, and the display when riding her around was at a constant 14.4 Volts. I honestly forgot what the starting voltage was as I forgot to check it, apologies. The tender I'm using is a charge/tender/maintainer kind, so once its...

    Vance & Hines & OEM slips

    Battery Problems

    Tender did indicate the that the Battery was at full charge. That was something that I forgot to check on my last little ride around the neighborhood to hear the exhaust I had put on. Apologies for any frustrations that I maybe causing. I am one of those folks that unfortunately can't ride...

    Battery Problems

    Anyway I can check for this on my bike? To my knowledge I don't think so but wouldn't hurt to check. I thought of that as well but they tested my tenders at the dealership and said that they were working fine. I'm hoping that they checked for that when they had the bike, because they did say...

    Battery Problems

    Just wanted to give you guys an update regarding the Battery situation. So as I said before, they replaced the battery and everything seems to be running fine. After they conducted additional testing they couldn't see any signs of a parasitic draw that's running the battery down. I stated my...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Installed a 4.5 Freedom Exhaust on her the other day. Unfortunately, the pipe set I got was missing some stuff, but nothing home depot couldn't fix for the price I got it for. I have to say though that the install process is suppppper tedious, and the mid pipes take a lot of effort to get on...

    Battery Problems

    I dropped it off at the dealer to have them take a look So far they said after replacing the battery again, it seems to be running fine. They plan on keeping it for a bit to double check electrical.

    Battery Problems

    The didn't really give me the reason for the first battery, but I didn't think much of it then because I've heard that BMW batteries are not happy when they're not in use once a week .With the first I didn't ride her for about month due to the weather conditions around me at the time. It...

    Battery Problems

Bike is always on it's Tender (Noco Genius 10) when not in use, so I can't seem to understand why this...

    Classic Buffeting

    Going with something like a clearview windshield and then getting some deflectors for the forks have helped folks here. https://memphisshades.com/products/fork-deflectors-yamaha-xv1900-roadliner?variant=43397941836 I haven't gotten around to picking up the deflectors for the forks yet, but...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Installed the ebay version of the DK design risers, and readjust my bars accordingly. It definitely helps me out as a shorter rider and makes everything comfier. Downside is they were missing one of the nuts for the increasing the height of the lines but I solved that it a spare nut that...

    WTT - Corbin Dual Touring for Corbin Solo (and maybe with Pillion?)

    No tailbone pain to speak of when I'm riding. Its does push you closer to the tank but for me I'm still very comfortable. I'm a shorter rider at 5'7 so it pushing me closer to the tank and bars help. Taller riders might have a different opinion on it, but it is a top notch product for me.
