Re: Exhaust changes. Whatever floats your boat....For me....I'm burnt out on modifying bikes, boats, cars, et...except for very minor stuff. For those that may not be aware, the pipes/exhaust on a bike do effect performance and the torque curve. Because a pipe is shorter and appears to flow...

I've had both Harley's and BMWs before getting my 2023 R18 Anniversary model. Only you can decide on what experience you prefer. It depends on your riding style and interests. Are you riding freeways or canyons. Do you want sound and vibration or smooth and rather quiet? Most Harley's are...

I sold my mint 2014 R9T to a dealer...Alhambra BMW in CA. The manager is a women Gi Gi who is very cool and bought my bike with no games or hassles. I don't know what your bike books for, but it's a nice bike with great curb appeal, you did a nice job. You might give her a call...it will take...

R2K, You would think with such a bad ass collection you would clean em up a bit!! Under 10,000 magnification I think I see a dust mote that wormed it's way in once you opened the garage door!! Can't have that, and you know better!! Gotta say your taste level is impressive as hell. Normally I...

Holy S%#T !!!! NICE!!!!!

I don't know where the advance is set on these motors, but I'm sure the compression ration is not high. Simply pushing the advance forward a bit, and adding domed pistons would give this Mo Fo probably another 20lbs+ of torque.... then a remap, just enough to shut me up!!! But you have to open...

I think 99% of us are pretty happy with our bikes, or we would not be on here bullshitting about them. Irodemide is caught in a shit storm that he needs to get out of one way or the other. Personally I'm out of answers...take the buy back If the offer is still good. Sue for 10k in small clams...

I think I mentioned earlier decades ago as a young man I was in the car business, BMW, Porsche Audi, Toyota, Honda, et. First sales then management. In that 20 year span I took in hundreds maybe thousands of trade ins, so I had the opportunity to drive and examine closely every make and model...

Lot's of variables.....first question that comes to mind is can you physically handle riding a motorcycle in your current state, as in physical condition? If you have real doubts, pass. If your pretty sure you can, then you have the option, ride or not. As far as the R18, I just bought the...

I just don't know what more there is to say.....resolve you situation the best way you can. You vented, we hear you...that's about it. If the offer is still good to take the bike back....hell grab it!!! If not go sue for 10k in small claims, you have all the documentation. As you said this...

I, I hope you find a solution. Seriously. I know you were IN the auto industry service dept. for years and must have seen it all. Since there is nothing we can really do, maybe your ordeal can serve as a hard lesson for those more trusting of us that assume your dealing with a high class...

Irodemine... It does sound like you've hit the wall. It's doubtful a member of this forum is going to litigate this for you....so I don't think much more can be accomplished here. Find a civil attorney that will work cheap if you must, or explore options of filing the case yourself. I know...

I have a very good attorney that will take your case..he's $450 an hour. If one of his team works on your case I believe it's $375 an hour. You could pay him for an hour to evaluate your case. He's honest and will tell you the reality. If your interested let me know. I know this is not what...

As I'm sure you suspect or know by now, unless you get VERY lucky, no attorney is going to want a case like this on spec. There just isn't enough $$ in it. I just spent a hell of a lot of $$$ on attorneys in the last two years. With respect...their primary if not sole interest is money...

Yeah, I'm gonna go for the Brentune...change my air filter, and call it a day. This bike is too difficult to work on compared to Harley's, and it doesn't seem like Motorrad wants us modifying the bike internally. Just a few odds and ends for appearance et.... But a set of Speed shop factory...

I'd like to see factory performance Mods like Harley does. Stage one, two, three.... pretty much most of the accessories are already available. I think you could easily get another 10-25 ft. lbs of torque out of his motor without a major concern for the trans et. But like any bike IF you ride...

Interesting....I probably would have just bought an R9T than this conversion....but to each his own.

Not to mention, smart to keep the bike out of the shop, because every time someone works on it not to mention taking it apart, you risk scratches or damage....

Sounds like you have two problems....always tinkering....and forced to do it sober!!!

This is a big heavy bike to try and turn into a race bike. Personally I'll throw in the Bren tune map, swap out the air filter for some better air flow and call it a day. All I need is a bit more torque and I'm good. My interest is 0-60 anyway, I'm not even riding over 70-80 mph...I've done...
