    This is not misleading the leak is actual! I have washed away many times it is not assembly lube rem47. I lowered the level to 180ml. It only leaks on extended runs of 200 miles plus.

    Fishtails & Full Exhaust for Sale only 808 Miles!

    Last two yrs. I took the K16Bagger down there. You get no breeze on the knees with that bike. I won't/can't ride without helmet & jacket. Where you at, aren't the wild hogs an issue after dark?

    Had my16B for nearly two years before deciding it had to go. I am an old motorcycle racer and couldn't stay out of the throttle unfortunately. Those machines for the size handle like a road-racer. you can grind the pegs and boards rite off them with complete confidence and control

    Bike chirps after switching off

    Mine will pop and snap for an hour or so after a good run. Seems like it's exhaust heat shields. Those converters hold a lot of heat for quite awhile.

    Has anyone ever Ridden a Goldwing ?

    I read all three pages and noticed only one mention of the K1600 series BMW. I have ridden and repaired many Goldwing's over the years. My father rode the things, but I preferred my 2019 K1600B. To me the ultimate tour machine.

    2023 R18B Option 719 with Premium package thoughts?

    It won't knock but it will not perform either. They electronically retard the timing if knock or ping detected. I always use the best fuel available also non-ethonal fuels.

    2023 R18B Option 719 with Premium package thoughts?

    Which ride mode are you in? The rock mode has a lope in the idle, the roll mode idles smoother but slight delay on throttle response for fuel mileage.

    Exhaust Flapper Valve Servo/Cables Removal

    harrisrc740 the 18 is so slow that it's much safer as they can hear you before your on them. That 16bagger liked 80 plus mph. that's why I no longer own it.

    Exhaust Flapper Valve Servo/Cables Removal

    On my nine-t I unhooked cables only without the servo buddy. I have rode the thing many miles with no warning lights or issues. On the r-18 I purchased the pair of servo-buddies from Rev-zilla for the S1000R BMW model as it too has dual servos. I removed the entire assembly as It was visible...
