    BMW Connected App

    I have experienced the same and I can replicate it on the route. I have quite a bit of experience with RF related stuff and this specific issue is RFI related. For me, it's a local commuter train crossing and I know those things have all kinds of radio equipment working in the big city. FWIW...

    R18 Huge power potential (RSD info)

    I run the Brentune, DNA intake, and Freedom Performance slip on mufflers with no baffles. I haven't had the opportunity to Dyno it yet, but I am very happy with how it runs compared to factory. I've built a few hot-rodded-to-the-hilt Harleys in my time and this R18 makes me real happy for what I...

    R18 TC with drilled out exhaust baffles video

    Louder, more refined throaty sound. I initially ran the with the baffles in, which is a nice sound and louder than drilled out stock baffles. Now I run the Freedom with no baffles and it is loud but not obnoxious and really nice sound. While cruising, it sounds to me like a Sousaphone hitting...

    R18 TC with drilled out exhaust baffles video

    I did not take the mufflers off, but I did ensure that I got the drilled out metal disk out. When my Freedom Exhaust mufflers finally arrived I took the stock mufflers and dumped them over to see if any metal shards were still kicking around in there from the drilling process. There wasn't any...

    Quote from Dr. Markus Schramm, head of BMW Motorrad

    I live in Los Angeles and have lane split for almost 30 years while commuting during rush hour. That's not true at all. How about an illegal lane change? How about a car driving 100MHP who hits a bike that is lane splitting? "Always" is pretty absolute and I can probably come up with 100...

    Quote from Dr. Markus Schramm, head of BMW Motorrad

    None of that as anything to do with the fact that you said lane splitting in California was not legal. Whoever causes an accident is always liable, whether they are riding a motorcycle, car, a bicycle, or a horse. And here again you demonstrate lack of understand about how laws come to exist...

    SLR Tune?

    Liability is a great reason to not publish the dyno data. What happens if someone not at the same altitude, same humidity level, same gas, etc., etc., does the tune, runs their own dyno test and it doesn't match the tuner's published sheet and decides to sue for false advertisement? Don't...

    You do it judiciously, and preferably in the far left carpool lane which tends to be wider than the rest.

    Quote from Dr. Markus Schramm, head of BMW Motorrad

    Sorry, but that statement is just plain wrong. First, in the entirety of the U.S., unless something explicitly made unlawful, it is by default legal. That's the way the Constitution of the United States of America works. Second, the California Highway Patrol explicitly says lane splitting is...

    SLR Tune?

    From what I understand, there are ways to manipulate Dyno data. But a legit tuning company risks their reputation if they play that game. There is a Porsche tuner that is well known in that circle who does not publish Dyno data for their tunes, but they do at least give HP & Torque numbers. In...

    Quote from Dr. Markus Schramm, head of BMW Motorrad

    I live in California. People forget that the original reason lane splitting was not made unlawful is because in the early days the vast majority of motorcycles on the road were air cooled. You had to keep moving to keep the motor cool. Of course, as traffic got worse lane splitting became more...

    SLR Tune?

    If the dealer updates the ECU, you need to send the saved software to BT Moto for an update. There is a cost. If you forgot to save the modified ECU before the dealer updates it, you have to pay a larger fee to BT Moto to relicense the reader and start from scratch. Don't make that mistake.

    SLR Tune?

    My dealer told me that they trusted Brentune completely and they would not void the warranty over it. They've got enough experience with it from other models that they wanted to ensure that I knew what the procedure is to roll back the tune before bringing it into service.

    Reverse went out

    Of course they're trying to sell you an extended warranty - that's what all vehicle dealers try to do. Usually they are a terrible deal for the consumer.

    SLR Tune?

    Translation: "we make a bunch of changes and we don't really know what they do, but the people we either dupe or pay to review our mods give us 5 stars because the seat of their pants tells them they're happy"

    You and your bike

    How do you have the camera mounted to shoot from behind and high like that?

    Thanks for the offer but I'm going to hang on to it. I may do some type of project myself.

    Ciro cupholder and wireless phone charger

    Take pictures of what - my wallet? The cradle just pulls out. Lift up the top and pull to see for yourself what's under there.

    Ciro cupholder and wireless phone charger

    I just took the cradle out and use the space to store my wallet. My phone doesn't fit in the cradle.
