    R18 First Edition Welcome Box perfect shape and complete $75 + shipping

    Dayummm! Good catch! Long shot here but, if you're not planning to use the roundels, let me know. I'd like to find a (reasonably priced) set to complememt the Manhattan Matte on the TC.

    Orange Triangle on Speedo Screen

    Hhmmmm, would probably be a better purchase for me than buying 'another' pew pew. But it's like many of our, ahem, 'affordable' pleasures: n+1=enough.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    "The sump "stop" evolved from a wasp sting to the neck followed by a non optimal decision shortly there after." Excellent description! 😅 Like

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Petr, good summation of your experience, thank you. It's beyond frustrating that you were not contacted. On the other hand, I'm not surprised that they did not have to disconnect anything as the fix was out by that time. However, to take a week to complete the work!??!! Seems more than odd. Here...

    Reverse

    Dunno, I had mine disabled during this winter's maintenance visit. I started talking to the dealership about this back in Oct or Nov. '24 and they gave me the option of not disabling it. Figured as long as the bike was down for the winter, I'd get it done.

    Reverse

    Late to the party, sorry! Bike in to the shop at 10am, for reverse recall install with ECU update, done and back on the road by 2:30pm. It took them longer to replace my tires last year. Maybe it wasn't a busy day? When scheduling the appointment, I asked if it would be overnight (they're 150...

    Automatic orange triangle (service engine)

    If that guy thinks it's unethical, he hasn't been around motorcycles or forums very much, or even ANY group of motorheads. Your story makes me even more appreciative with the service manager at my dealership: pretty much tells it like it is and let's me, the customer, make the choice. Doesn't...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Edited to add: My apologies to seattleswimboy (criminy, am I turning into Black Dog??🫨) It appears you got some poor treatment. The dealer should have offered you the compensation AT THE TIME they conducted the unauthorized disabling of the reverse function. WIth all the bad stories I'm reading...

    Interstate Highway Imperfections.....Kaboom

    Concrete roadway? They seem to be popular in the Mid-West. The expansion joints on those seem to bs the worst.

    Cylinder Head Cover Trim Set PN 77 12 2 469 285

    Damn, that looks good! Nice contrast, and breaks up all that shiny stuff. No thoughts about the film but Star-Lord seems to have answered our curiousity.

    New Android Auto/Carplay unit

    Android. Re on the impact of losing cell service, thanks for the correction. I do download the maps to my phone. It's been a long winter and I've probably mis-remembered what causes the nav to occasionally stop. I'll have to check if that's been the issue or if it's been another cause, such as...

    New Android Auto/Carplay unit

    I agree that the nav should, and could, be better than it is. That being said, I've run my TC from western Pennsylvania to Maine's east coast, and to North Carolina's Outer Banks, all told about 7,000 miles, using the onboard BMW app connected to my phone. It's been fine as long as I have cell...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Ditto. It would be nice to have a more leisurely pace instead of having to keep bumping the reverse gear. I know, I know, I'd bitch if they h**g me with a new rope. 😉

    What a day! - transmission done for

    This sucks. Keep us updated.

    Oil in sight Glass

    I'd call that about perfect, compliments to the tech who did the oil change.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    I certainly hope so. I find the reverse speed is too fast... or perhaps I'm too old 😁

    TC Rear seat luggage?

    I run with regular ol' drybags and Rokstraps. Been working for me for years and many, many miles. For packing the trunk and sidecases, I use small packable gear bags like those available from Eagle Creek and others. Allows me to separate and contain like items and makes it much easier to pack...

    Highway pegs

    I always just rest my legs on the jugs. Do that on my 1150 and now on the 1800. I were tall riding boots and never have a problem with the heat off the jugs. TCX. I don't know which model and I've had them for probably 15 years or so. I looked on Revzilla and didn't see an exact match, though...

    Highway pegs

    I always just rest my legs on the jugs, when it's safe to do so. Do that on my 1150 and now on the 1800. I were tall riding boots and never have a problem with the heat off the jugs.
