Wow that is horrific to see. Hope you get a chance to replace it soon. Interesting to hear Adrian R. Glad your bike is back to feeling safe. I am still waiting on my service department to confirm if they will replace my front Michelin Commander 3, I can see this wheel hopping under some...

Adrian R. What symptoms do you have from your front with a low spot? Thankfully the violent bounce I felt in my seat is pretty much gone now, but a slight tendency is felt from the bars so a new front is next. It is odd that these tires could cause this, actually Michelin has always been my...

So I have an update in my case. Long story short, after quite a few phone calls and patience, I now have a new Bridgestone H50r as my back tire and I’m extremely happy to report that the bounce is now completely gone. Judging by eye when I now rotate the wheel there is only at most a 0,5mm run...

Thanks BobW

No I’m not restricted in buying tires other than what is available in the European market. But I feel I shouldn’t have too at least out of my own pocket as the bike is new and so on. But if all else fails, that could be what I need to do. I haven’t felt any notchy steering at all, lock to lock...

It just seems strange that the new C3 tire also demonstrated the same issue, and actually even more so. My wheel is now with another BMW dealer and they’re contacting BMW higher up to learn what the tolerances are for tire run out and so on. In one way or another I think I want to change both...

Thank you all for your interest. My problem is not at all with the engine vibrations, I really enjoy that part and character of the bike and it’s one of the reasons why I always leave it in “Rock” and I even fill it with 98 octane which at least to me makes it shake even more at idle and react...

Hi. Thanks for the concern :-) No unfortunately it is far from solved. It appears it was the rear wheel/tire is my best guess at least. My dealer claims everything is sound and true with regards to the rim and as a result of them not knowing what to do they suddenly claim that this wobbling...

Hi. Thanks for your comments and suggestions. It’s reassuring that you have weights on just one side as well. They said the new tire they tested was new so I assume it was a new and not before fitted tire, but I can’t be sure. Yes my bike was parked in the show room for almost a year. I got a...

Hello. I’m a proud new owner of a brand new R18 Classic in Sweden. My bike now has about 200km (125miles) on the clock. From the very beginning I could sense an odd up-down hopping vibration at about 60km/h (38mph) mostly felt at the front. Below and above this speed it is not really felt...

I have the same pedal as you. I see you are located in France, I live in Sweden so perhaps this is the pedal for the European market?
