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.

This is all I have found: BMW error code 3A1112 (often displayed as "DME: Fuse active: Component group 1") indicates an overcurrent or short circuit has tripped an electronic safety fuse inside the engine computer. This usually disables power to a specific circuit, often affecting fuel injectors...

I just got back from a 2600 mile ride not far from you. My sister lives in Colbert, Wa. I rode from my home in Monterey, CA to Colbert and then on up to Northport and on to Trail BC to visit relatives. I came back through Cour d Alene and on down through Idaho, Montana and back through Nevada...

Wow that's a major cultural shift going from an R18 to a Hayabusa! Enjoy your new ride - I owned an early Hayabusa - great bikes. Ride safe!

I too bought a set of these because I wanted to see how they might reduce helmet buffeting. I had planned on replacing them with oem parts if poor quality and if they helped the buffeting problem. I was surprised at how well they were made and the color and finish is great. They mounted up...

Most valves tighten up after running in. I checked my valves at 600 miles and found the same thing. All were very loose. I’m at about 3k miles now and will check them again soon when I get home. I’m on a fairly long road trip right now.

I have had one of these Craftsman stud remover/pullers from back when I was about 16 years old. That thing has gotten me out of quite a few pinches over the last 54 years!

You might try one of these. I have yet to find a stud that these would not take out...

I was thinking it would be fun to make a set of intake stacks that were similar looking to a P51 Mustang exhaust stacks. You could have them facing forward. It also may work with the stacks facing rearward. With the interior snorkels removed the air would free flow through the chamber and the...

The biggest issue is the range on the Livewire. In mixed riding 70 to 90 miles. I do that well before lunch.

It would be interesting to see how a Klockwerks windshield would work on a Transcontinental. I have found after trying several windshields that installing the Transcontinental lower leg shields combined with the Transcontinental windshield was the magic formula. I did not try the lower...

Motorcycle lithium batteries are Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries ((LiFePO4) - these do not have the runaway temperature and fire danger of lithium ion batteries. Lithium battery will last much longer that AGM or regular lead acid batteries. There are a few things to be looked at however...

I've seen some Transcontinentals without speakers. Mostly European sold models.

The two peice seats will not fit on a Transcontinental.

Every picture of the Transcontinental on the BMW website shows the bike with the crash bars and lower leg deflectors. They are not listed as an option as they came with the bike. I would contact your dealer and ask them what happened to them. They should put them on for you at no charge. If...

The lower leg wind deflectors mount to the crash bars. It is odd that the bike did not have them. As far as I know all Transcontinentals come from the factory with the crashbars and lower leg deflectors. It is a night and day difference riding with the lower leg deflectors on. It smooths out...

Congrats! I noticed that your bike does not have the front crash bars or lower wind deflectors. Did it not have them or did you remove them? Those lower wind deflectors make a huge difference in reducing helmet turbulence.

I added a couple of little things. One of my grandkids said my bike looks like Darth Vader soooo!

Those old steel tractor seats were all-day comfortable to sit in.
