I didn't have the courage to take pictures of the Kern Stabi in place, too hot today, but I made a montage with the positions of the drain and the filter represented by black circles, see the attached photo. There is no doubt about the possibility of intervention on the oil filter when the...

Dear Jim, The available height under the Kern Stabi in the up position is 16cm, see the attached photo, the Big Blue Lift should do the job perfectly... Loïc

I was not talking about strength but about adapting to the bike

The engine of my R 18 Classic, as far as I remember, started on the first turn of the crankshaft during the first uses. But now after having traveled 2400 kilometers the start is done after two revolutions of the crankshaft, without this being a perceptible inconvenience. I always use SP95 E10...

Hello, I used to make all my motorcycle GPS mounts myself, long before manufacturers offered a solution. For my R 18 Classic, I opted for a Garmin Zumo XT holder fixed to the clutch oil reservoir, and another holder for the smartphone fixed to the brake oil reservoir. These two supports are made...

I agree with 40 miles on reserve as a reasonable number, no desire to run the fuel system dry either! although it would be the only way to know the exact capacity of the tank....

We all know that the odometer indications of our motorcycles indicate a slightly higher distance than that actually traveled on the road. I believe that this difference is around 1.16%. Ok, that's one thing....that doesn't really matter. What is important in my opinion is knowing how to...

Big Blue Lift, like another motorcycle lifts, is not enough for the R 18, except if you use them with the Kern Stabi X518, or another one inspired by !

Hello, Like many of you, I want to maintain my R 18 using suitable lifting equipment. I chose for that the X518 Kern Stabi kit which is already discussed in this topic. This device is certainly very expensive but it is very well designed. The contact points are made at the front by tubes which...

I paid attention to how the bike was stowed on the flatbed: Two straps at the front on engine protection bar and two straps at the back on rear wheel swinging arm. No damage was found upon arrival.

I forgot to say that the tire had to be reinflated temporarily to allow the bike to be mounted on the truck !

The rear tire of my R 18 Classic had the misfortune to encounter a screw during the first 300 kilometres. Luckily there was no rapid deflating and so it was when I wanted to leave the next day that I realized the thing. Bmw assistance were effective in bringing the r18 on a tow truck to the...
