It happened to me on the forth day of owning the bike after three days of riding in the rain. I ride in all weather and have had over 15 bikes. None have done this.
There is a known problem with water ingress in the contacts of the start button. It happened to my bike and was replaced with a new start button but if it gets wet enough may happen again. I was stuck in the middle of no where for two days when it happened to me. The dealer did a great job to...
I generally get around 200km (maybe a bit extra) before the light comes on on the highway. I just set a trip meter every time I fill up and have a pretty good idea when to stop for a refuel.
My first ride was 1000km in the rain. I was happy to get off the bike at the end of the day but had a fun day none the less. I am personally fine with the seat and have had no need to upgrade it at the moment. Not the best but not the worst either in my opinion.
I have a history with black dogs as well. Although I am sure the man himself would be happy with my home made luggage rack fashioned from left over bits of a container and kids trampoline.
I had the same symptoms which turned out to be a faulty power/start switch that was not properly insulated from the weather. Apparently this issue has occurred on other bikes.
Black Dog, people can choose to be gracious, seek to find the better nature of man kind, help others learn and defend those who maybe can’t. Then there are those who are offensive, choose to belittle others and rely on self aggrandising to fell better about themselves. I have no need to tell...
Thanks for that. I have business interests that have been adversely affected by Covid and appreciate your willingness to do the refund and the difficulties getting stuff anywhere at the moment. I really liked the look of your products and wish you the best in providing kit for the R18.
I am not making any judgements on the company, but the facts are that I placed an order on 25 June. I was told multiple times that my goods would ship only to eventually be told after 5 weeks that they cannot ship to New Zealand. I tried to look at rerouting the package via the UK over the...
Hey TodkaVonic that is a very generous offer of help thanks. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it myself, but I have a few friends in the UK who could reroute a package so thanks also for the suggestion. Cheers!
Howdy All,
I am keen to install a luggage rack behind the passenger seat on my R18 Classic. I had ordered a rack from Holan, but they cannot delivery to New Zealand at the moment. Does anyone know of someone else who sells rear luggage racks for the Classic (I looked at Motea, but they don’t...
I am quite happy that it didn’t end with the bike down as it was quite out of control. I may be mistaken, but I was messing around on a mates new Multisteada recently and it seemed as soon as the asc kicked in on that thing the cruise control switched off. That would have been a much better...
Howdy all,
I just wanted to make a warning about using cruise control in wet weather. I personally don’t really trust it off the bat in the rain, but with broken hands it is good to get off the throttle sometimes. Anyhow this has happened to me twice on my R18. The first was mild and the second...
Thanks for the update. Much appreciated. I am not sure if anything went wrong but a confirmation email when the order was placed would have been great! Looking forward to getting the luggage rack on the bike! Cheers.
