    Poll about Final Drive (Bevel Gear) Oil Spillage on the rim and tyre

    Where are you in Aus? I had mine done in Brisbane in August 23, they inspected it told me the seal had gone and booked me in for warranty, I did have to wait for the seal to arrive but no mention of a ”special tool”. Before and after.

    Another Navigation Question

    No worries Joel. Just an added thought, my dealer told me that BMW have instructed them not to do updates unless there is a problem, if you just ask for the latest update they might charge you, but if you tell them you can’t connect to wifi as a fault they will do the update under warranty. Not...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I washed it, clay bared it, did a two stage paint correction and coated it with a Graphine nano coating. Hard to tell from a photo but the bike looks great.

    Bagger owners, the winglets work!

    Hi Scott When I asked my dealership for a software update because I could not connect wifi from my iPhone to the TFT they told me BMW had instructed them not to update any software as it would upset the system, my version was 011_077_035 so I sent BMW Connect an email asking them if this was...

    Bagger owners, the winglets work!

    I just had my TFT updated today with this version 013.013.020 which BMW Connected emailed me that was the latest version. I'm also trialling on my iPhone turning off in settings "Private Wi-Fi Address" apparently apple introduced this setting to transmit a false wifi address whenever you...

    How Much Did You Pay For Your First Service?

    Just did the first service today @ 1000 klms $249.00 AUD capped by BMW AUS. I forgot to tell them not to wash the bike when I left it, I spent 4 hrs yesterday detailing and polishing it and I didn't think they would wash a pristine bike. Then I didn't look closely enough before I left when I...

    G'day from Brisbane Australia

    Hi R2K, the only thing at this stage is some protection bars for the paniers, but I don't like the wunderlich ones and in Australia they are nearly $1200aud which is complete robbery.
