    Adaptive headlight issue?

    The entire low beam assembly rotates with electric motors. I noticed my low beam assy was off level while bike was off. Turned bike on and it righted itself.

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    In order to recall them, they need the replacement parts. My headlight - which I assume will be the same part that comes off the bike - is on back order with no ETA known. BMW needs to either design a more durable adaptive low beam assembly, or they need to find a way to fix the significant and...

    R18 Bagger headlight reflector vibrating when accelerating.

    I was able to get my BWM dealer - a 5.5 hour round trip from my house - to diagnose the problem from afar with a photo. They've ordered the replacement headlight, but confirmed it is on backorder. How long did yours take to come in after they ordered it? My suspicion is that the fairing...

    R18 Bagger headlight reflector vibrating when accelerating.

    I have 2800 miles on the clock though I’m not positive when the problem occurred.

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    i noticed the whole low beam assembly cocked to the rider‘s left today. Turned the bike on - but did not start it - and it righted itself to level. But the lower reflector is clearly broken.

    I noticed mine was broken today, as well.

    Buffeting Beatdown

    70 miles in, the wind deflector is an improvement over no screen - buffeting and comfort is slightly improved over running naked and it definitely looks better. Wind hits me roughly half way up my helmet visor. Wind noise is there and I will be cleaning bugs off my visor, but I get airflow...

    Buffeting Beatdown

    fyi - the part arrived packaged and sold as new, but when I removed it from the packaging it was apparent it had been installed previously. Finger prints. Bug residue. Marks around the mounting holes where the rubber met the plastic. Definitely not ideal and certainly not something I would...

    Buffeting Beatdown

    I installed the masked wind deflector - part number 77339444313 - $318.00 delivered to my home via BMW Motorrad. I was expecting a completely black part, but you’re right, it’s clear with blacked out lower portion to cover the mounts. I’m waiting for the roads to dry today to try it. I will...

    Buffeting Beatdown

    I’m 5’7” and get terrible, tooth-chattering vibration with the stock R18B screen at anything over 60 mph. I’m a spirited rider and spend most of my time well over 60. I purchased a 18” 7jurock but it didn’t eliminate the vibes and my line of sight is right at the distorted curve in the screen...

    R 18 B - Maximum Number of Song Tracks - iOS

    I’m giving up. Unpairing the phone and headsets from the bike and using the phone on the bars. Terrible connectivity implementation by BMW. Big miss on a fantastic bike. Disappointed.

    R 18 B - Maximum Number of Song Tracks - iOS

    Deleted 900 songs, down to 2900. Nope. Deleted 550 more, down to 2350. Nope…

    R 18 B - Maximum Number of Song Tracks - iOS

    I cannot get my iOS song library to appear on the TFT - I need to navigate the song lists on the phone itself. The manual indicates the reason the songs/albums/playlists do not show up/are not navigable is that the song count exceeds the maximum allowed. The manual does not indicate what the...
