A small update on the seat with no light. I'm sharing not to belabor this but rather because others have also reported that their bike did not come equipped with an underseat light. The dealer asked that I file a complaint with BMW corporate. The reason being is that starts the ball in motion...

I am sorry, I do not. However, the technician is either misinformed or lacks technical expertise. I do believe that the procedure for adjusting RPMs is in the shop manual. Actually, I was talking to the tech when he said, "I'll get the RPM setting adjusted after the software update." If he...

I went to the dealer yesterday to get the idle adjusted. I guess there are a few things. First, there were software updates to the ECU and the display. The tech said they do not inform them of what the updates address, just that they must be installed. My software version on the display is...

I installed the Wunderlich handguards yesterday. They are definitely not the most aesthetically appealing guards (IMO). However, the quality and function are excellent, so I'll have to get used to the way they look. To that point, they are pricey for what they are. I chose them after...

It is. You have to ask to join.

Hi Shah. I was just the messenger on that one. That was the experience of another owner from a different forum. Searched the forum again and saw that this thing can be tweaked for more power down low or more torque at the bottom. Not my thing though so I am really no help other than posting...

The Acerbis hand guards I purchased will not work on this bike as there would be very early contact between the guards and the screen when turning the handlebar; well before left or right lock.

I hope you find them to be as good as I am repping. The low-speed compression I would rate a 10 of 10. High speed compression is about a 9 of 10. Stock shocks are about a 5 on both high and low speed. The deeper low speed hits, where the plane must have significant movement. are remarkable...

What I did was pay attention to the set screw. One revolution around is one mm.

Yup. You'll need to store an Allen key to loosen the adjuster ring set screw, and that is it. On the center stand, with no debris in the threads, you do not need the traditional shock adjusting spanner we're familiar with. Hand loosen and tighten. Remote preload adjusters might be available...

I am not joking, this made me laugh Bill! The lunatic ramblings of a madman comes to mind (friendly ball busting)! But all that joking aside, you are spot on on everything here.

Pleasure! Just returning favors! I’ve taken more than I’ve given here for sure.

Sorry. I've been asking you for help and forgot to post this. I dialed it in today. I had 20.77 in sag out of the box after they were installed. I used this criteria. A= Reference; the distance between the lowest shock mount to a set measurement point. B= Sag High; bike flat, on both...

Bill, if you come up with something, I'd appreciate it. I can't find a thing and I don't want to create a mess.

Thank you Bill. Yes, the pressed in threaded insert that part 3 threads into. I might be able to pull it. An owner on the Facebook forum installed the same guards, so I know it is possible. On Honda motorcycles there is a small tab to press. Good idea on Wunderlich. I'll take a look at...

I intended on installing Acerbis handguards today. I cannot find how to remove the bar end inserts (internal to the handlebar ends where the weights attach). Can anyone refer me to the page or section in the manual that shows us how to remove the bar end insert please? Thanks. Mike.

I must have looked like a crazy man walking down the road, staring at the ground, with what was probably a stream of profanity spewing from my mouth!

I am not trying to belabor this, prove a point, or say "I'm right." My only intention is to be helpful and informative. I was at the dealer today and brought this up to a mechanic who I trust very much. He said, without a doubt, that there is a problem with the bike. It could be minor, like...

458.00 to be exact. How do I know? I left my pocket open, my key fell out, while riding, and then was not to be found. Lucky for me is that I have Tile with replacement protection, so the cost is covered by them. Just picked it up today.

Nope. The last time I checked the display was not presenting any data on the oil.
