    Rear Speakers (help)

    The other day I noticed that my rear speakers have gone quiet. They work as I can feel the vibrations but the volume is minimal. Under the settings I use Balanced as the sound preference. Any ideas in terms of root cause? Thank you all.

    Allow motorcycles in bus lanes as default. One for the UK members.

    I am aware that we don’t have many London based members in this forum, but as a road user in London on a daily basis, the below petition affects me big time, therefore I would like to ask all UK members to kindly consider signing this petition and see if it gets passed. Cheers all...

    Faulty headlight.

    Well folks, my R18B has been nothing but pleasure since I bought it on March 2023, however, tonight my headlight failed as I was leaving work therefore I had to ride home like bat out of hell before the night descending upon me. Will take it to the shop tomorrow as the warranty will expire in...

    Here it is.

    Well, I just got pictures of my new seat. I wanted something discreet and comfortable, so I went for a dark grey leather to match the metallic graphite paint on the bike, grey/blueish Alcantara for the rider’s side with a similar stitching pattern to the 719 option and medical gel for added...

    Ever wondered what happens if you overfill your engine with oil?

    I came across this. Ok, so it is not a motorcycle engine but the principle is almost the same.

    Bike chirps after switching off

    Hi everyone, Maybe was there before but I have only started noticing this in the last couple of weeks. When I switch the bike off, after 45 seconds or so the bike makes a chirp or a clacking noise if you like, that seems to come from the engine side, sort of the middle part of it. Is this...

    Service intervals

    Hi gang. I am not sure if my bike display is ok but I thought that after the break in service, the 6000 mls was the one to follow. I have done the break in service last year and on spring this year the bike was asking for a service. If I recall correctly, it was around 3000mls at the time. I...

    K1600B

    Last year, when I wanted to retire my trusted M109R, I had my eyes on the K1600B but to be honest I felt intimidated by its size so I went for the R18B which I absolutely love. Nevertheless, I had that itch that needed to be scratched , so today I went to my local dealership and road tested the...

    I’ve got chatted up by a Diavel.

    Ok, so I just parked on my usual spot and I was locking the bike and faffing about when this sweet voice asked me “How do you like the bike?” I immediately turned around and there was a late 40s girl wearing a full leather piece. I thought, oh a fellow biker but from the opposite side. We got...

    Two things happening lately

    Folks, my Bagger has been doing something unusual lately. 1- After I refuel, the fuel gauge takes like 3 minutes to register the amount of fuel in the tank. Coincidentally, the Motorrad app says my fuel tank is at 100% even if it is 3/4 empty. Sent an email to the app developer 2 weeks ago in...

    Drop her down 😰

    Stupidly enough, I dropped my bike just now whilst reversing out of my garage. The doors were open and I was reversing when a gust of wind closed one of the doors. Without dismounting the bike I twisted my torso to push the left door open and I lost my balance and off she went to the right...

    Message for Scott

    Scott. I did not want to high jack another thread but I have been dying to ask you. How on earth do you keep the undercarriage of your bike so clean? I mean, not even water marks👏👏 c’mon!!! I try to keep my bike spick and span, god knows I try, but I feel I cannot compete with you unless you...

    Recall in the UK - all models

    Hi everyone. I just received a letter dated yesterday regarding a recall. As you can imagine, I instantly thought the headlight made it to a recall, however, the recall relates to the pin securing the foot rest for driver and passenger. It looks like this pin is likely to be affected by...

    Engine crash bars for the Bagger

    Dear all. I would like to add a set of engine and panniers crash bars, preferably in black as my engine, frame and fork is also black. I like the moustache shape that Motea does but it seems to be only for the classic model. For the panniers I much prefer the Wunderlich ones. Ideally I...
