    Two wire,.single color (RED) Kellerman is good for US (NAS) bikes; EUR bikes are three wire, multi color and require a resistive conditioner.

    Question 2022 R18B vs newer R18B

    I would imagine that perhaps, BMW remapped software changes that increased the torque to the identical power plants...? Maybe a firmware/software update the next time it's in for service, will add the missing 4 ft lbs now realized on the newer year bikes..?

    Oil level

    I typically check my oil at the end of the day or at the end of a long weekend ride; I'll put my bike on the KERN-STABI stand, and inspect the oil viewing glass with the bike perpendicular to the ground. I think it's best to verify the oil level once the oil is at temperature.

    Wireless Phone Charger Project R18 B / TC

    In short, it's not a big deal connecting my Pixel 9 phone with the USB-C to USB-C power cable... I've given up on the wireless charging effort, especially since the charging sweet spot on the phones can change year over year; my project worked well with an iPhone, but not so great with my Pixel 9.

    2025 Fairing vs 2024

    Sorry.. I'm still rocking the stock OEM Model B windshield; I've seen a difference in the wind management that the TC comes stock with, minus the larger windshield. I'm 5' 9" and typically look over the windshield vs through it... I guess I'm right on the edge of feeling the turbulence that...

    New to the R18 family but not to BMW.

    I'd highly recommend purchasing a GS-911 HEX Tool for your R18 B; especially, if thinking of doing some tasteful modifications. There's one for sale on the forum; I've dealt with Dave and he's very trustworthy: Thread 'HEX GS-911 WiFi with OBD-II Connector - price reduced'...

    New to the R18 family but not to BMW.

    See the attached from another forum member that relocated his Model B directionals to a newly added auxiliary lights mounting bar and auxiliary lights;.the Model B directionals interfere with the TC fairing winglets when OPENING & CLOSING. Thread 'Add TC auxiliary lights to R18 Bagger'...

    New to the R18 family but not to BMW.

    I absolutely love that color on the Model B... A couple of us have added some of the wind management attributes that come stock on the Transcontinental (TC); Engine Protection Bar, Lower Leg Wind Protection Fairing, Fairing Winglets, Auxiliary Lights + Mounting Bar and Directionals.. Below...

    I'd go with the R18 Model B; maybe Santa will part with his bike for you..? Or perhaps, pickup a Classic and Bob it..

    Question I got oil hose leakage repaired, what's the problem?

    Yikes.. be careful..!! Depending on the flow rate of the leak; I'd hate to see the leak go catastrophic while riding, where your rear wheel gets a coat of oil on it and you lose control... The below picture that you provided, show two oil collection points; which I would not think is possible...
