Hello all, the seat on this bike is a constant reminder about uncomfortable. I purchased a Mustang solo seat from BMW but it is worse as it pushes your arse more forward which makes one lean back instead of sitting upright. I am currently back with the original seat. I saw and got a quote from...

Considering a bit of bling on my R18, does anyone know what material the rim part is made from?

Anyone here had a sticky turn signal button. If I manually cancel the turn signal the button does not return to it's proper position, this prevents the turn signal from working even though you can move the button sideways. I want to open the switch holder and hopefully can see what is causing...

Well first longish run done, 998km now on the clock. Bike ran well, bit bumpy in front for some or other reason ( I must re check the tyre pressure, think the filling station gauge may be in accurate).........but, ah the seat. Was happy to see home after the two 260km runs. For once I am going...

Got me a new 2023 ( year this bike was dealer registered in SA) 1st Edition ( not the Classic), half the original retail price which makes it something of a bargain for a new bike here in South Africa. Got a whole 320km on the clock now. reverse recall done, now looking forward to putting some...

Had my 1st Edition in for the reverse gear recall, even tried it in the BMW workshop for the 1st time. Not for me but handy to have I suppose. What was interesting, after I left the workshop and scrolling through the menu at the traffic lights a warning spanner appeared, no triangle on dash. I...
