Because I'm wondering if the adaptive headlights are at an angle already when the bike is started (on the kickstand).Hit the power button to let the phone sync while I put on my gloves and helmet, Mount(bike is straight) then start the motor. Why?
It also spends all it time on a Stand in the garage... the kickstand is only used on trips.
It shouldn't matter regardless. BMW should have considered all circumstances that owners start their bikes (on kickstand, sitting on bike). Your adaptive headlights suffered a catastrophic failure, which, hopefully you reported for our BMW R18 community to the NHSTA since headlamps are safety equipment.
I thought that maybe, if you always started your bike on its kickstand that maybe, a servo motor might have skipped a gear/gone out of sync with the rumbling motor and tore the plastic housing apart as a result? Just spitballing.
