    Question 2023 TC Tubeless or Tubed?

    The r18B and TC are tubeless. I believe the R18's with spoked wheels have tubes.

    Service Warning Light

    The only way to reset the service indicator is to have the dealer do it or purchase a GS911 tuner or a Motoscan app (Android Only) for your phone with an OBDII bluetooth adaptor and reset it yourself.

    Exhaust Servo

    I installed the Healtech exhaust servo modules that allow you to turn the servos on or off(open). I've put a few miles with the servos open. I noticed that the throttle response has a slight dead spot with them open. It feels like a lean condition. I also notice slight detonation when...

    New Windshield for my R18B

    I probably didn't describe clearly what I was talking about. The lower leg fairings have a major effect on helmet shake. The lower turbulence and flow without the lower leg deflectors causes major changes in the vacuum behind the windscreen and this causes the air coming off the top of the...

    New Windshield for my R18B

    You are going to find that you will be still getting excessive buffeting when you get the new windshield. I went through the same process as you and chased different windshield trying to prevent buffeting and still have a reasonable view forward. When I installed the factory style leg shields...

    Engine Oil

    The R18 is both air cooled and oil cooled. The oil cooler is thermostatically controlled. The oil is kept at a very stable temperature so changing oil weight is not necessary for different OAT due to seasonal changes.

    Valve Cover Protection

    I bought a set of these and found some BMW roundels that fit over the R18 emblem and they look really good.

    Valve Cover Protection

    You should know that these are made out of plastic. I have read that a few people that bought them said that the fit was not too good. Yes they will fit on all models of R18 engines.

    7Jurock - looks like another company gone bad ...

    I did eventually get my windscreen though it was the wrong size. Tristan said he would send me another one and then I could not contact him by phone or email. No way to get a credit card re-imbursment as I did receive one.

    7Jurock - looks like another company gone bad ...

    Tristan told me the same thing last November. Still waiting though I have given up.

    7Jurock - looks like another company gone bad ...

    From what I understand Tristan is the grandson of the original owner and now runs the business(into the ground?)

    7Jurock - looks like another company gone bad ...

    I ordered a windshield from them last year - I found out that Tristan(the owner) is highly unreliable and does not return calls or emails. I finally got my windscreen and found that it was too short. After many attempts Tristan finally got back to me and promised to send me another windscreen...

    New Tire recommendations

    My R18B came with Michelin Commander III tires. The bike handled fine with them but the front tire made so mush noise (howled) on certain types of blacktop that I decided to change it before taking a 2600 mile trip a few weeks ago. I could not see myself listening to the noise from the front...

    Maybe a reverse camera would be cool!

    Chrome plate under tank

    LOL - I guess I need to read postings more carefully. I thought he was talking about a chrome plated tank as they had on some models.

    Chrome plate under tank

    For something like this I would take it to someone that can reverse electroplate it. This is the best way to remove the plating and get back to a clean metal surface that paint can adhere to. Some people recommend using glass bead blasting - it can have mixed results. Using muriatic acid can...
