Bike is a '21 FE model with just 3K miles on the clock. Been using premium petrol (99+) and no mods at all, 100% stock bike..

Yeah I don't think the Day Rider comes with the strap but I can see the spacer in pic 4 which makes sense and I haven't got it.. Thanks!

Can anyone confirm that the much more $$$ OEM pads are sintered type?

Um.. does the Day Rider set come with instructions? :whistle: I don't know if I'm supposed to use the stock bolt in between seats? Expected this to be an easy install but the gap between the metal mounts from the pillion seat and the mudguard holes is huge, exceeding the length of the stock...

Only recently I have noticed that when starting with the engine cold, the idle is very irregular... Does this quite often, the RPM sometimes drops to 600-650 then back up to 950. The whole bike shakes really bad. Sometimes I just re-start it but nothing has changed so I'm not sure what's...

That seems to be it https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/en/bmw-parts/83300413582 Also, anyone who rewired the signals or rear lights? Looking for spare connectors..

I'd be interested in this too, similar '21 R18 FE and can't believe the Cruise control is not standard on a ride-by-wire throttle! :cautious:

If going for sintered aftermarket pads like the EBCs, can we confirm that the OEM pads were sintered as well? or that the rotors are compatible with sintered pads? Otherwise rotors will wear 10x faster.. I once purchased a superb lightweight wavy disc and a new set of (sintered) pads without...

Thoughts?

Looking to hook up a wireless phone charger to the Accessory plug. This is under the left side panel of a '21 FE Is that the right connector? and does anybody know where can I find a male connector like that? Thanks

Cheers, David the Moto Guzzi had Lambdas as well LOL But yeah my concern is that with a restricted ECU (due to emission regulations), the mixture will end up being too lean.. .. Has anyone actually installed an open exhaust system on the R18 with a stock map?

Right, when purchasing the Pro-Race system, do they provide any guidance around ECU flashing or are they saying you could just use it on the stock map (which I am starting to doubt) ? Thanks

Hi, With full exhaust systems like the Pro-Race titanium one or MAD two smoking barrels - is the stock ECU still adjusting to them? Or will it run poorly? I remember on my Moto Guzzi when I replaced the exhaust with an open one, I had to do quite a bit of tweaking as the stock map wouldn't...
