Just back from my annual pilgrimage to Newfoundland and Labrador. First time with the R18B, and yes, our bikes rarely pass by a bakery. First time strapping B into a Ferry. From a Food Perspective, here are the places we visited: Marine Atlantic Buffet (North Sydney to Argentia) : (OMF of...

My Optimate 4 With DIN connector, you have to flip it to CanBus Mode, pretty simple, works like a charm on both, Fairing, or by the Reverse Lever. Removing the Battery on a R18B, is not for the faint at heart, and the engineer who designed it, well, there’s a special place in hell for him or her.

Spent some time setting up my new helmet(Shoei GT-Air2) for this years season, and wanted to share my Sena 50R with a colleague, so we could mesh, and communicate with another friend who has a cardo. So, easy to do, essentially Meshing a 50R and SRL2-Mesh(Shoei) via Mesh channel 1, and bridging...

Hey Adam, appreciate your video’s on Youtube, especially as a new R18B owner

Picking up my bike today after it’s run in service. 3 degrees Celsius here, should get to 7 by lunchtime! I’m praying for the heat from Bertha!

Just around the placement of your ankle relative to the shifter. I had a Touratech shifter on my GS, and a very active foot when shift, moving around the peg. With Floorboards, I had to learn to be a little more quiet with my feet. Once I learned the best and more ergonomic location, it...

I was really hoping with the USB connection in the Phone compartment, that it would bypass WIFI, and be direct connected to the TFT, thus the WIFI networking wouldn’t be required. But alas, it’s just a charging port. :-( Saving your routes, is not difficult, although bringing them up through...

Thanks so much, a MUST DO, is the Cabot Trail!!!! It’s one of the best roads in Canada. If you come that far, well, hop on the ferry, and ride Newfoundland and Labrador!

Awesome, and I’m nervous. :)

I know, I so don’t want to spoil the look. Thanks for the suggestion, just waiting for the bike to return to me from the Dealer. Going to investigate Further.

So, I Ferry from Nova Scotia, to Port Aux Basques or Argentia, NL every year on my bike. Either a 6 hour, or 18 hour ferry ride. Easy to strap down My old GS…. Crash Bars made that easy. Does anyone have any experience and/or recommendations in strapping your R18B for travel? appreciate...

Great advice, will look into that when my bike returns from the Break-in Service!

Ok, why is goobie sending this! This is the Pure Ride View!!! Not sure if anyone of the TFT display team would Be reading this, but. Kinda Nice to have if they it was an easy programable way to do it. :-) It would be Great to have Macro’s that are either adjustable, or common use on this...

Good evening, Well, I gone and done it. I purchase my first ever Cruiser.. Moved from a F850GS to the new R18B.. Bit of a nerd, so The Display, Cruise Control, Sat Radio, and the Marshalls, well it had me. I was indeed worried a little about the weight, but after putting 1100 KM’s on...
