    Can't find air filter for R18

    One like to think that the design is tested for such eventualities. The vents on the front cover are slightly below the concertina snorkel that feeds the air pipe by the looks of things and this could have been the reason behind such design. Were you travelling at considerable speed whilst in...

    Replacements for Commander 3

    Maybe, but so far my experience has been good so, unless I hear a compelling evidence out there, I won’t be changing to another. Been using Bridgestone on my bikes and cars for years and always been happy. My car came with Dunlop fitted and although they are on the firm side (run flat) in terms...

    Quick question. Was the sunset reflecting on your head pipes or are they exhibiting a bit of yellowing?

    Replacements for Commander 3

    I have the Bridgestone Battlecruise H50 and they handle very well and are also quiet. I have only done 2600 mls but so far they look great.

    Switching from a Gs

    If you have the space in your garage then keep it. I regret selling my M109R because I did not have room for 2 bikes.

    Adaptive Headlight Recall Update

    I hear you and I do appreciate the ones I have on the car, they are pretty helpful. On the bike, I have only ridden in urban areas, which are well lit up so I have not seen perhaps their full potential? I am a fan of the brand and I can’t remember ever having a bad experience with BMW, I am...

    Adaptive Headlight Recall Update

    Oh, I will check again as the recall was not mentioned before on either of the websites. I spoke to my dealer last year about this and he told me he knew nothing about. I believed him and I don’t think he had any reason to tell me porkies. A lot has happened since then. I agree with you. The...

    Adaptive Headlight Recall Update

    I have checked many times on the DVLA and UK Motorrad and the head light issue is nowhere to be seen, let alone a recall. The issue I have, besides the headlight failing, is that if the head light were to fail and the beam points anywhere except where it supposed to, when we go for the annual...

    Front lever brake adjustment?

    Since early 2000 all the bikes I have had (Japanese) you have to press the clutch in order to crank the engine on.

    Front lever brake adjustment?

    I will have a look at this when I get home but I thought that the roller over the lever was just to do this, make the biting point sharper or softer. I have never had to adjust any of my levers on any bike hence I can’t talk by experience, just assumption.

    R18 or R18 Bagger

    I think all the variants are awesome machines and the models were made to cater for a wide type of riders and their needs, from the naked pure to the fully dressed and top heavy battle cruiser TC. All of them are functional and very capable machines, not to mention gorgeous and very unique on...

    Dent in Fishtail

    So sorry to hear that. I have not done this myself but I know there are people out there who pour warm water on the dent and then with a sucker /dent puller or suction device, they pull the metal out. I have seen this on YouTube on door panels, mug guards etc. if your dent is small you may...

    Major Engine Management fault on R18 T at 18 months and < 5000 miles

    ACF-50 works wonders on all metal parts including electrical components, chips and god knows what else. I have been using this on all my bikes and cars throughout the years and also the boat since it is in salt water all year around. No corrosion to be seen. It neutralise salt and disperse water...

    Roadstyler Rear/Bag Guards

    When you do the online order it does not charge you VAT necessarily, however, once the item arrives at the Customs depot, they will issue a VAT invoice which usually the post man will ask you to go to the nearest office and pay for it or you receive an electronic payment request courtesy of...

    Dyna beads

    Actually, in the UK it seems like there is one main distributor and this is the one making 80% of the promotions. Just read a post of a guy with a GS that had beads in the front tyre and the vibrations were uncomfortable over 70mph. 5K later the front rim was shot.

    Dyna beads

    I must admit, this is the first time I hear about this. The weights on my rims does not bother me, so I would not have gone for beads based on ascetics only, however, I have now read a few reviews (not big in the UK market by the looks of it) and the comments are positive. They don’t seem to...
