I”ve not seen this posted, but I stumbled upon this the other day. Wiki workshop repair manual for the BMW R18 – repair maintenance service workshop manual

I’ll install the aux driving lights onto my bagger as soon as the parts arrive, which seems to be about a four-week lead time on the items that need to come from Germany. I want the lights to be amber, so do you have any experience tinting these aux lights? If so, can you share what you used? Or...

Lots of work on the bagger over the last week. New tires front and back, Helibar luggage bars installed, and I just finished installing the Helibar tour commander bars. It’s not a complicated installation, just tedious. Now, out to go for a ride!

I changed the front tire of the bagger today, and I know that I didn’t remove any clips, but this was on the floor next to the bike. I’m pretty sure this does not belong to the R18. I thought it may have come from the Kern Stabi jack, but the parts list does not show it. I hope it's not...

I’m 0-2 trying to install bag protection bars on my bagger with this exhaust. The Wunderlich and the Helibars protection bars do not fit due to the larger exhaust diameter. I will have to lower the exhaust, maybe 1/4”, to accommodate the Helibars. I loved the look of the Wunderlich chrome...

I'm super happy with this tire changer. With multiple bikes, it’s turned out to be an excellent investment. At 6,000 miles, the front tire was shot on the bagger. I had it dismounted and remounted in about twenty minutes. Highly recommended.

I’m not one to make many calls while riding, but… I noticed that after a phone call, the maps are no longer displayed. (WiFi disconnects). No way to get the map displayed again without pulling over and getting map mode on the Connected app re-connected. Lame. Just me?

90 miles after my dealer serviced the bike, the bottom of the engine is covered with oil with a few spots on the ground. I also notice that the oil in the sight glass is above the top of the glass. I’m wondering if it was over filled :-|

I noticed that I could see the headlamp beam jiggling on reflective surfaces while riding and discovered that the headlight housing was physically loose. I usually don’t ride at night, but also noticed that my high-beam throw is too high. I added this concern to my annual service next week. I’ll...

I didn’t change anything so I’m not sure how the map is now showing the speed limit in kilometers. I’ve checked everywhere, including the connected App and it’s all set to mph. Tried changing to kilometers and back to miles and its the same. I haven’t reset the app yet and I really don’t want to...

Warning! Cannot be Shipped to California - No Exceptions! Urg.

And I know better. I’ve even seen the video of a guy in his garage that didn’t make sure his kickstand was down correctly. After I watched that video, I would always ensure that I kept my foot on the stand for the complete travel of the stand, knowing that it likes to spring back if you don’t...

In case you are looking for a dolly, this one from Condor seems to be working out well. I would have preferred one from Dynamoto like I have on my RT, but they don’t make one for the R18.

There was a thread that I can’t find, I think it was embedded in some other thread about a backrest by a company that didn’t yet have it on their website, and someone suggested to call. Does this thread ring a bell? If so, please let me know where you saw it. I don’t even remember if it was this...
