One of the best and cheapest upgrade items for the Model B and TC.. Cleans up that gap between the fender and side cases.. I noticed the new Model B and TC offer the filler panels as an option within the configuration menu.

No LMC Oil Cooler installed...?

Good Eye... Yellow & Red dots... It amazes me, that folks that mount tires for a living, or work as a mechanic don't know or implement these things - especially, after paying good hard earned money for a professional service...

You're already thinking about selling it... 🤑 I had the dealership do my 600 mile break-in; however, it was included as part of my purchase at the time of the deal (2022). I have performed my own maintenance since; however, I let the dealership swap my tires and replenish clutch and brake...

You also need to disconnect the servo cables from the servo exhaust cam wheels, two cables on each side of the exhaust:

I haven't use the following; but a quick search, shows that K&N makes oil filters for the R18. I'm not sure how fast you can get one delivered? 2022 BMW R18 B 1802 Performance Parts | K&N https://share.google/IljAR8eSRYviisg6h

Basically, it looks like you can get four (4) filters for the BMW price of a single oil filter.. If you only need a single filter, it looks like Amazon can delivery it overnight...

I agree 💯 regarding the front wheel drag on the disc brakes ... My R18 B sounds like I'm spinning a rusty saw..

Huh..?

I'm thinking the removal of the Engine Protection Bar and the Lower Leg Protection Fairings is probably a temporary thing... I can definitely feel the difference in increased turbulence without the lower leg fairings, especially over 68 mph. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I'm...

Yes, I sit my bike(s) up on the KERN-STABI X518 stand when in storage and or performing maintenance.

Being pretty familiar with this update; there's nothing that would change the motor speed (I understand Ohm's Law), as the installed relay takes the place of the relay that was integrated within the Reverse module.. I use the Reverse on my Model B after each ride due to parking situation and...

See the Maintenance posting from Deleted member 1618 (I know him personally...) Thread 'R18 Annual or 6K Interval Scheduled Maintenance Parts List & Torque Specifications Worksheet'...

Tenafly NJ 07670 I don't think the first service is free, unless you negotiated that with the dealership that you purchased it from...

Maybe review the Wheel Set Installation document; go to the BMW Motorrad Site and from the Menu: SERVICE/MANUALS/INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS/HERITAGE - select the Model B and download the wheel set directions. The axle shouldn't be all that expensive (~$70).

Amazing writing.. I felt like I was riding the bike, have you considered writing books... It was like reading an opening to a Nelson Demille novel ... Back to Bike Stuff: you hit your 600 mile break-in; any plans on doing your own maintenance..? It's one of the easiest platforms to work on...

You are absolutely correct; however, I only had to remove one bolt (No. 1) on the damper in order to move the damper out of the way of the center frame anchor point of the engine protection bar:

Went out for a 3 hr ride without the Lower Leg Wind Protection and Engine Protection Bar; some notes, there's an absolute difference in wind management above 68 mph, the weight of the bike feel much lighter and I'm still leaning towards the improved look minus the protection bar... I might sell...

I posted an R18 Bobber YT video, where I demonstrate the Reverse function on the R18 First Edition (Fast Forward 5:18)

I just removed my engine guard, which also secures the lower leg wind fairings.. I didn't realize how much it hides the engine.. It will at least serve as a CHANGED look during the summer months...
