    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    I think I need to jump on Santana’s defence here because I did also noticed a marginal decrease in speed after the recall was done on mine and I think at the time I posted a comment on it. The difference is marginal but definitely there and to be honest I much prefer it that way as before it...

    Front End Wobble/Rubbing Noise/Instability

    Thank you. I have listed to the two videos and yes, that growling sound I have never heard and it is noticeable. Maybe someone with Michelins could listed to it as there has been complaints about them making a hauling sound, to see if it is the same noise. I recall someone saying that their...

    Front End Wobble/Rubbing Noise/Instability

    There are a few post regarding the growl you are referring to. Not all bikes suffer from it and there are a few opinions as to what is causing it, i.e, tyre brand, R18 variants due to the front mud guard design differences, etc. I requested access to the drive so that I can listen to it. I am...

    Strange tire wear

    Indeed. Specially the front tyre, if the bar drops by an unit or two, she feels heavier to steer and sluggish on take off plus economy suffers drastically.

    Right; let´s end this once and for all

    When I ride my Bagger, I only feel a bit of heat around the boots area when splitting lanes during the summer. Other than that, she runs very cool. One thing in common with all my previous bikes was the clink clink clink sound in my garage after I parked the bike. The R18 has yet to make any...

    Glad you made it safely back home and congratulations on your new bike. Tips for saving fuel. Proper tyre pressure Roll mode as opposed to Rock Keep it between 65mph and 70 top. I do the above and my average consumption is 62mpg. Obviously, yours is new so as the parts were tight, there is a...

    How To how to clean and polish the drive shaft?

    The way I do things. The shaft is nickel plated and should be polished from factory. When I clean my bike, I use a microfibre towel dampened in the same soapy solution I am using to clean the bike. In fact, I have 2, one for the upper body and another one for wheels, engine and underneath...

    Strange tire wear

    My Bagger has 10,320mls on the odometer, my tyres are both the Batlecruise H-50 and the front tyre will need replacing soon (still legal) I run 42psi at the front and 46psi at the back. The front tyre from what I gather, wears out a bit quicker than the rear, maybe because the weight at the...

    R18 Boxer Coffee Machine

    Just my opinion and of course you are entitled to yours, but I don’t think BMW Motorrad wanted to conquer the US market, it goes beyond that. Here is what I think. BMW is a leader on the adventure bike segment, has a huge presence on the touring market, it has wiggled its way into the sports...

    BMW gives up the R18 !!!!

    I split lanes every day. You can find me doing that on the infamous A13 from the M25 all the way to Central London on my daily commute 🤪
