The Classic and FE have a different design element v. TC and B, but externally I believe dimensions/fitment is the same and should easily be confirmed by the shop. The Classic/FE bulb is the same as the R9T that has only had an OEM, LED headlight the last couple of years. There are numerous...

I understand the concern and that is why I mentioned if a "standard" replacement assembly may possibly fit in the interim if it's going to be an extended/unknown time for an OEM replacement. People upgrade and replace damaged headlamps all the time and while some have shapes that would be hard...

While this headlamp issue is certainly a "shouldn't be happening" issue, I can't say I would delay a road trip while waiting for a repair unless one planned on riding at night. For daytime safety/visibility I would add led lamps regardless the headlamp and this can be done simply and for very...

Well done! 🍻

Beartooth Highway in June. Rain was changing into a snowstorm and just up the hill was closed.

Welcome! Your Bonnie is a great bike and I've enjoyed Triumphs since the early 70s with my last one being a new 2006 Bonnie that I enjoyed for several years. My good riding friend has a Speed Twin and the 120 bikes are a sweet ride indeed (y) The good or bad of the R18 pricing is well covered...

Excellent job with the way you assessed and articulated the problem, even a dealer should be able to understand the problem and successfully explain your situation in a request a new tire(s). A couple of riders on the forum posted about odd/premature wear on their new R18s equipped with these...

I’ve got perforated and heavy solid leather gear, but on trips I use klim jacket, aerostitch pants-riding jeans, full grain leather-gortex riding boots, held gloves and arai helmet as they offer a true l/o shell that fits my pumpkin head 😂 (My buddies r1250rt was sweet to ride and the new led...

Welcome! A couple of thoughts on your post in no particular order... You are correct as to not being counterbalanced. It was intentionally designed that way and you will find the "modes" settings will impact the feedback you describe especially at idle through the lower RPM ranges. I leave mine...

Firstly, never question the Engineers of The Mother Ship! 😂, and "BMW answering questions no one has ever asked" is a love-hate kind of thing as to results.....🍻🍻

Keep in mind the R18B has Tire Pressure Monitors that will display your tire pressures once you have driven a short distance and will alert you to under or over inflation conditions too. I find I have lost more air when checking pressures rather the very small amount over extended periods of...

Thanks for the follow up information!

Do the ton at least once every ride just to clear the cobwebs....... 🍻 🍻

Hope everything works out OK. Your bike is beautiful and priced well below smoking deal $$.

I simply answered the question posted by @Didi.

BMW Motorrad became aware some R18 models may not have had the mating splines on the drive shafts properly lubricated when assembled at the factory. It was not considered a critical problem in the short term, but they would cover the costs to correct the issue under warranty. On other BMW models...

Your dealer is crazy with that quote. You are doing the air filter and plugs and that has you right at the valves with very little extra time. The valve adjustment on the R18 is a locknut and screw adjuster so it takes a matter of seconds to adjust a valve if needed. For that kind of money I...

Typically if a vehicle is running well when stored and then exhibits problems such as you described or in general operating issues there is a problem with deteriorated/contaminated fuel, an electrical issue be it a weak battery, dirty connections or damage caused by mice, etc. I'm not sure...

Good luck with the sale, it's a crazy good price. I hope you find peace moving forward.

Approximately 12,000 miles, no issues with final drive nor any other component on 2021 R18 Classic.
