Where in ms?

Had this issue on my R9t. Disconnect the positive lead from the battery bus, wait a few seconds then reconnect. It should reset the internal clock and allow memory.

perhaps you could buy a classic headlight assembly and gauge so you don't have a hole in the headlight fairing of the roctane. it looks good and you've made the roctane into a distance bike.

Is that for both tires? Glad I saw this. I assumed any tube would work and bought tubes for 16-inch tires. Disregard, I see that it's just for the rear and the front is different as well. Thanks for this post.

Bleed the brakes and changed the pads all around. Got 18k miles out of the stock pads and probably could have gone another 5k before really needing to change them. What mileage are yall seeing?

i know there is a tach display option in the speedometer digital display window. i'd like to have a dedicated tach like the Wunderlich version: https://www.wunderlichamerica.com/wunderlich-tachometer-blackchrome.html unfortunately it doesn't fit the classic with the windshield; thought someone...

You got a tachometer? Lucky! 😉 I got one instrument cluster with various digital indications.

Cruise control set at 72 mph on the interstate is about 2650 rpms and approximately 45 mpg. You feel the engine but not enough to get numb due to vibration. Been commuting 1 hour 20 minutes each way on my classic since March and I’m very surprised at what a nice commuter it is. Lovely bikes all...

what brand of LiFe did you install?

I haven't put a Lithium battery in my R18 yet however I've put them in 2 other BMWs - R9T and S1000rr and did not have to code the battery type. I don't believe the bike knows the difference just that the charge is correct and the charging system charges the battery. 18+ volts is an error or a...

Sidecar off for recall, been commuting and loving it.

Nice; please share pics. I'd like to do this exact thing to my future Roctane.

You’re going to go the way of the Classic’s aux light bar and turn signal?

Haven’t had issues with the R18 drain plug but my R9t plug was torqued by an angry elephant. The bolt stripped nicely and cost me $200 to get a professional to extract. Word of caution, check/ remove the fill plug before draining any fluid.

Somewhere on this site is a manual for accessory installation. Do a search then find the part you want to install.

Might have better luck buying a replacement. Doesn’t seem too pricey at $158.

Yes to thread locker or maybe crazy glue on my fork caps. I really struggled getting them off. As far as getting them back on, there was no way for me to get them started by hand. I couldn’t even come close. I did use 20wt oil so maybe that made the difference. Thanks for the update.

So what the word on the Wilburs springs? You got me thinking about it. Also I’m stealing your fork press idea.

Dealer checked my valves at 6k and made some adjustments. I did my own at 12k and did some adjustments as well. I wouldn’t trust the shop that disregards OEM service schedule. On the off chance something goes bad with the motor, BMW will ask if all the service was completed per requirements and...
