Good on you.... ride for as long as you can I reckon. Most online negative's can't seem to see anything than from their own myopic viewpoint.

Yep.... peak hp for a drag bike might be relevant. Not my usercase.

Congrats!

I've made my point of how much better the bike runs through my experience, so I'll leave it there. No doubt the ECU will do it's best to tune to the euro 5 based installed maps as best it can after the exhaust and intake type mods. I was super surprised on one of the bikes how much midrange...

I'm running 2 "euro 5" heritage air cooled BMW's (R18 and r9t)... both with open flaps, exhaust and air intake mods...... both tuned.... both with significantly different before tune/after tune riding characteristics in modified form. In both cases it was not about peak hp.... mostly low...

The only way a top tier manfufacture (or any tier) get high quality goods with certainty from China is via significant "investment" in ensuring that happens. It is not a given by a long shot. Normally they would have there own staff on site and involved all the way etc. Anyway, I think we must...

I think I pressed the mode button once and it made me buy another thing for the bike. I only press that button now when the wife isn't looking.

are these the cheap china ones? My expensive ones stuck well and have behaved for 2 years so far. When visiting China many many years ago, and in a market buying shoes and jeans for my wife back home, I realised how I needed to be a professional clothes and shoe QA inspector with vast...

Yes.... I'd ask them. I like what the tune does with my bike (dna filter and free flowing end cans)..... notably better, especially off idle and lower midrange... and probally discounted a bit later in November.

Bren tune......

I now choose to ride "tactile" motorbikes, but back 30 plus years ago a bike that offered some weather protection was nice when on a ride home from work it rained. So, to a great extent, it really comes down to one's circumstances/needs. For me, I want to feel "alive and immersed" when riding...

What model and year is your bike? fwiw... as an extra data point.... I would contact bren tune and explain your situation and ask them if their tune would sort this. No harm in asking. Also what model and year is your bike?

Congrats... still love mine 2 years on.

all explained here.... https://www.r18forums.com/threads/ecu.3922/#post-53636 bottom line.... when in doubt "worth disconnecting battery"

These were the emulators: They add high speed compression dampening as well as better low speed compression dampening... not a game changer on the R18.... but the high speed part has a spring valve that opens when hitting a sharp edge at speed (ie pot hole). worth a read...

A mile isn't what it use to be...... So... what did it all cost in the end?...... $3k?

Generally, reading/watching 95% of R18 reviews is mostly a lesson in how how "simple" most content developers are these days. Not much going on in their head that isn't just about them.

From memory, I needed to back off preload a bit to get the rider sag I wanted. Dampening maybe also backed off a bit (easily reached by hand with no tools). Our roads here are a bit rough. With new shocks it's always an issue seeing if a slightly stiff shock will soften in the next 5,000km or...

Haha.... I fitted their fork springs as well.... 7w fork oil as they recommend.... also added yss emulators at the same time..... I posted about it back at the time.... done about 10,000 kms since. All good.... only issue was getting the fork caps off (thread locker on them.... made a 5/10...
