    Make your own ‘Hero blobs’.

    When I replaced my stock floorboards on my R18B with RS Floorboards I noticed that the nubs on the RS boards were a lot shorter than the OEM ones.

    Question SeaFoam (Annual Maintenance)

    If you are going to use an additive - use one that has PEA (Polyetheramine) in it. There are quite a few that have this. PEA is well proven to clean fuel injectors as well as carbon buildup on pistons, ring lands, heads and valves. Sea Foam is an OK additive but any additive with PEA is far...

    Helmet lock positioning

    Right behind the plastic cover next to the reverse lever is the transmission oil fill plug. I may get in the way with this.

    Question Model year changes

    I believe in 2025 there was a change on all R18 ECU tuning. Torque increased slightly - no Horsepower changes.

    Hi from Hamilton Scotland.

    I would put the lower fairing winglets and lowers on first and you might be surprised that you may not need the higher windscreen. I was amazed at the difference in helmet buffeting after I put on the leg lowers - It transformed the bike for me.

    Metal Filing on Oil Drain Plug

    As others have said - I seriously doubt you have a problem. I once changed the oil on a Suzuki GS850 I had years ago and I definitely found that I had a problem. There was a piece of a bearing race stuck to the magnetic drain plug. What a sick feeling. Strangely no odd noises or any...

    Motoscan and the dreaded wrench icon

    No just disconnect the battery cable running from the battery to the terminal under the RH side cover. That will disconnect the battery from the system.

    Motoscan and the dreaded wrench icon

    It is fairly easy to do if you simply disconnect the battery cable under the RH side cover on the terminal post. You do not have to disconnect on the battery itself.

    Motoscan and the dreaded wrench icon

    I would try disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes and then reconnect it and see if it goes away.

    Old Helmets

    I have heard some people donate their old helmets to the Fire Department for use in EMT training to learn how to properly and safely remove a helmet from an injured rider.

    7 Jurock

    You probably won't get a reply or mabe in a month or two. When I last spoke to Tristan about my windshield he was very convincing about taking care to resolve issues I was having with my windscreen. He made a lot of promises but never followed up on any of them. I still have my 7 Jurock...

    2023 R18B low miles, new motor

    You should buy a factory GIVI mounting plate for the GIVI box as the givi top case will engage directly into the mount and snap and lock in place.

    "Fault in the engine control" warning on R18B [SOLVED]

    Yes you will but you will not see a DME error only the coil error. This is how you diagnose the same error on a K1600 6 cylinder. Disconnect all coils and plug each one in at a time until the DME Fuse error occurs.

    "Fault in the engine control" warning on R18B [SOLVED]

    Also disconnect all the ignition coils. Clear the codes and then plug each coil in and see if one sets the error code. This will determine which ignition coil may be setting the code. The same thing can be done with the fuel injectors.
