Wow, looks amazing. You are very lucky to live there and be able to do that. What a ride out 👍

I’ve sat on one in the showroom, felt like it would be very comfortable, very roomy. Felt very much like the ST1100 Pan European I’ve had in the past, real mile muncher. Sadly chain drive nowadays but other than that I liked it.

After 3 years of R18 ownership, yesterday, for the first time, I actually passed another R18FE coming the opposite way! First one I’ve seen out in the wild. 🍾

Ahh, yes I see, here in the Uk we have quite a choice of DCT Hondas, I assumed wrongly you’d be the same. That’s a shame but you can’t be in pain on it, for one thing it will be very distracting and that’s not good on a bike, we need to be focussed. I hope you find a solution that works whatever...

The TC is about as heavy a bike you can get so you are up against it a bit really with a bad knee, especially the left as that does most work riding and uprighting the bike off the stand. Just wondered if you’ve ever tried the Honda DCT system? I had a DTC Crosstourer about 5 years ago and it...

Think the words ‘salvage and project’ have answered it for you really. It’s been personalised a bit by the previous owner(s). BMW could tell you exactly what it was from the VIN if you really want to know. Regarding the lash, that sounds normal to me, there has to be some and if the bike is...

Didn’t even know these bikes had a ‘creep’ mode. What are the exact symptoms? Does it start ok, idle ok? Bit more detail would help. If the bike was running well before and now it’s not then it has to be something you’ve done either consciously or without realizing. The CanBus may be unhappy.

Best wishes and enjoy the new ride 👍

Morning, lovely bike that 👌. I was out and about on mine last week and stopped for a brew, had a very enjoyable chat with a chap on his big Harley. He was out enjoying our (unusual) spell of dry sunny weather too!

Had mine overnight but tbh as long as it was fixed I was ok with that. Software update was mentioned as a passing comment.

When I had my reverse fix done about a month ago, that was the impression I had aswell. Parts ordered in for specific VIN numbered bikes by appointment only, guess it’s to keep a close audit on every bike done and the ones that still require it.

No problem, that’s very kind of you 👍

Well, had a lovely ride out this afternoon, first really nice dry sunny day when the roads around me weren’t plastered in salt. Stopped at a cafe for a brew and sat outside with it. Bike near me. Had two separate conversations with (car driving) chaps who came over to speak to me about my bike...

Well done MikeR. I had my eye on that exact bike it’s a beauty. It is a rare colour. 👍

Yea, persevere with it, I thought the adjustment table was good tbh. So use your 8 turns as starting point, take a marker pen or pencil and put a ‘dot’ on the adjuster bolt. Then, Find a stretch of road or choose a stretch of road where you live thats got some issues on it. Like undulations...

When first released back in 2020 many of the bikes and press bikes were sent out on ‘transport setting’ or words to that effect. Shock was set to minimum and didn’t ride terribly well (dragging pegs, harsh over bumps). Dealers and new owners didn’t know to set the pre-load to the correct setting...

Take it you don’t have a ‘fader’ option in your sound menu? That’s normally how you adjust front to back.

At least its not one of those ‘modern’ women, you know……the ones with big hands, stubble and testicles……

The four bolts are just for the end caps. If you search on YouTube I have seen footage of people literally cutting out the whole baffle leaving a very open ended silencer BUT it’s way too loud and not especially nice in tone, for me. I’ve heard for example Freedom exhausts and they are probably...
