    Your experience with Ride-On in a tubed tire

    What do you mean by "sealing with an actual puncture"?

    Interesting optional method for making a tubeless rim out of a tubed rim >>>

    The only option that worked for me was to fork out some moola for the BMW cast wheels that allowed me to use tubeless tires. I'm sure you'll hear some "success" stories of people gluing the inside of rim with I don't know what rubber based solution, or some other gimmicks that to me appear to be...

    Handlebar Risers not seating

    Let me see if I can wrap my mind around this. So you buy a bike manufactured in Berlin, Germany, a work of art, a bike like no other, and you settle on some bar risers made in China that you purchased from Ali Express? I don't know what quality you're talking about. Is there any quality in...

    Front And Rear Brake Pads Replacement

    Thanks for the replies. I used to do most of the maintenance work on almost every single bike I've had, but as time has gone by I became comfortable. I think I will give it a shot though. Should I get the retaining pin or even the spring action plates the pads push against? The least I can do is...

    Front And Rear Brake Pads Replacement

    "It will be $ 603.28 for us to install for new BMW pads and mounting hardware,for both, the front and the rear" That's what I was quoted by my local BMW dealership for replacing the brake pads. I am waiting, as I'm typing this, to find out if the Service manager will "approve" the brake pads I...

    is that number a BMW part number ? I'm asking because I couldn't find anything at all using the part number you posted.

    Looking for a swithched hot lead.

    Nicely done. Now I know what the connector looks like. Thanks for posting those pictures. I appreciate it!

    Looking for a swithched hot lead.

    You don't have to take anything apart. Just take the left hand panel off and show everybody how's supposed to be done. But you won't, because you will say that you used the connector under the tank and not the one under the left side panel. By the way, what male or female connector did you use...

    R18 Classic custom pannier lids available

    No wonder you're trying to sell. They look so out of place, both the seat, and the saddlebags. What an awful color to mix with a black painted bike.

    Looking for a swithched hot lead.

    Nobody that has ever mentioned those two switched connectors, never posted a picture of the actual connector. I have not seen one single picture, yet I've read many posts that suggest those connectors actually exist. Can you be a true pioneer and post one or two? Especially since according to...

    What Bike Would You Trade Your R18 for?

    One other thing I would like to know is if trading in your R18 or simply selling it has ever crossed your mind. I know it did cross mine, especially in the last month, month and a half. I would like to pull the trigger sooner rather than later. Not happy with the actual trade in value of my 2021...

    Anyone else or just me Final Drive/Gearbox leak?

    Had the same problem about a year ago. It took the newly redesigned seals on both ends of the driveshaft to cure the problem... under warranty, I may add..

    UK - heads up on new legislation regarding new ICE vehicles

    The local or global entity that controls the push for electric bullcrap will do as it pleases. There will be little to no opposition at all from the once great and strong British population. Same here in The States.
