I have just done the annual maintenance of my R18 and surprise, the dealer showed me that my front tire is at the limit of wear on the left side.
The tires are the BATTLECRUISE H50 BRIDGESTONE, fitted as standard, and have less than 8000km.
Seems to me a bit fast as wear...
What is your...
My R18 makes a strange noise when it is cold and I put in the first gear
listen here
While recording, I realized the noise occurs also with the 2nd gear
Any idea ?
I wanted to see how looks the R18 with the homage saddle and the original rear fender
@estoma gave us pictures which I used on Paint3D (I don't own Photoshop) together with picture I took of my R18 rear fender
Original R18
R18 with BMW Bobber kit and beach bar
Comparison of both...
I wanted to try to start the R18 using the spare plastic key ...
The manual says to place it in the key antenna (2) located under the seat
But I could not find any hole in the antenna to do it
Does anybody know how to use this plastic key ?
(Same procedure when the key battery is dead)
Very easy to do it yourself !
What you need is an aluminium grill and small silicone tube
The grill I got for 15€, black epoxy coated (enough for 3 cooler protection)
The cooler face is 19 cm by 13 cm, so cut the grill 19 cm by 17 cm to get 2 cm on each side to be bent
Slit 4 pieces...
