    Need Help Clicking / Thunking noise when moving R18 Roctane forward/backward with engine OFF (Video attached)

    I'm assuming the bike is in Neutral and not in some other gear... Where do you think the sound is coming from?

    How To Rear wheel

    "Graphic Arts Mechanic" and "Dark Country"; maybe Google translate is broken or you have successfully broke the Internet... I have the Model B, and playing music while I'm riding is a huge part of the enjoyment I get when I'm out on my bike.. I stream my YT music, which I've downloaded on my...

    Which Jack recommended for r18 TC?

    I'm a huge fan of the KERN-STABI X-518 stand, you can definitely use it in combination with a standard floor jack; however, I have never had a maintenance or build project thus far, which required the front and or rear wheel to be lifted higher than what the stand already accomplishes. I get...

    Found electrical relay dragging underneath bike

    I agree with JRM, looks like the newly introduced relay for the Reverse recall campaign.. Does your reverse function still work; the relay looks pretty beat up? Pull the relay out of the socket and post a picture of it with the manufacturer, part number and such; does it have four (4) or five...

    Definitely report back with any ride performance attributes, whether positive or negative; I'm guessing the ride performance should improve..

    Is that space normal?

    💯 on using a torque wrench I downloaded many if not all of the installation documentation for the various accessories for my Model B; the documentation is very detailed, which includes torque specifications and tightening pattern steps.

    Maneuvering a TC in a tight garage...

    Yes, I have an outdoor carpet over my garage floor; it also covers a drainage point in the center of my garage floor; I think the one wheel caught the drainage hole and the momentum was enough to make things go badly...

    R18 Model B (First Edition Bagger)

    I definitely like the cleaner and slimmer look of the Model B in its present configuration.... Less is more..

    Question TC Gauge Failures?

    Maybe try removing the windshield, the fairing dash (2 screws in the two corners) and try re-seating the analog gauge wiring and making sure that they're all secure. Taking the dash apart is super easy... Below image is what you'll have access too:
