Update So exhaust fitted. Reverse gear recall resistoer relocated. now sounds llike a Messerschmitt Bf 109! So in case anyone at some point faces this issue. This is what to do. Do not start fitting the Zard, (i fully fitted then had to remove it complexly , and these hours you never get back...

anyway to squeeze money out of us. in the UK Zards were available from main dealers so would hope this wouldnt be an issue

If i bend it up the exhaust will be touching it and that would transfer high temp through to the resistor. Im going to attempt to move. But this will affect all Zard full system users once they have the recall work. Be interesting to know what BMW will do when they supplied the Zard exhaust?

thats exactly what it is! thanks Star-lord. i wonder what they have done that requires such a substantial , additional electric module? Although it now leaves me with a difficult issue to solve, i somehow need to remove the bracket to lift this box up, cant see where id locate it but maybe i...

I’m looking at taking the bracket off but not having a correct jack makes it tricky. The bracket (thin gauge) is fixed to the original exhaust mount bracket. I’m unsure if they have changed the spec on this as it’s a 24 as speaking to someone else, they haven’t got electrics in this place. I...

Thanks for the reply but I’ve bought the bike standard and I removed the exhaust valve motors, the exhaust comes with. healtech connectors so this is something else

I bought a Zard full system and have hit an issue. I have the base model 2024 and it would appear some electrics have been added since Zard made the exhaust although the Zard website shows 20-24. Fitment. The issue is the link pipe. On the installation vid it shows (although not a brilliant vid)...

Didn’t think of that, just thought about speedo being out!

Okay, what about fitting a 70 section rear, would give 9mm increase I believe

Haha obvious now, i thought youd done something with the shock duh!

Now I’m intrigued. More details please

It is obvious but road 80 miles from the dealership with zero preload! Let’s say my vertebrae won’t singing the shocks praises. 6full turns improved things substantially but it’s a pretty lifeless shock if I’m honest but will stick with it for the time being. The Wilber’s looks ideal though

I hadn’t considered that and it would help take a bit of the bend out of my knees

I like your thinking. Got a set of Zards (full system) hadn’t considered remap or filter, haven’t seen anyone doing remaps in the UK or Wilber’s shock. Ride is harsh though so could do with sorting but maybe I’m used to a manic carpet ride!

So new to the bike (I’m loving it) and new to this type of bike (own a GSA also). It handles surprisingly well, so well I’m getting the odd peg touchdown. I know I can change my riding style, But the bikes that capable I don’t think I need to if I could increase the ride height. Has anyone tried...

Thanks all, I’ll post some photos once I’ve started ‘playing’ with her. I hated the pipes and ordered some pro race cans but the originals are actually growing on me. Very quiet though

Yes I believe it’s a car colour. Apparently BMW UK commissioned 30 bikes, 10 of each colour

Hello from a wet Manchester UK. Just picked up my R18 base model. I was having the GSA serviced and an 18 was on display in the coffee area. I became transfixed with it. Bought a 2023 with limited paint scheme (frozen orange) only 169 miles on the clock. Done a 100 miles, and what an experience...
