I put my deposit down last week. Can’t wait to cruise on that classic on the back roads this fall!!!
I'm totally envious Rodney..!
Thanks!!
I am with you when it comes to footpeg location. I learned to ride back when most all bikes had the pegs on or near the vertical line with the back of the tank. Working on finding a welder to assist me in changing the position of the pegs on my Virago. The early Viragos were only slightly forward of the normal, the later ones are way forward and I don't feel as in control that way. Pegs being forward puts more weight on your butt, bad for long rides for me ( back injury).
Remember when air filters were something bolted to the rear of the carb, or a sponge like material held on with string or lock wire? My 67 Triumph lost one of the round filter assemblies on a couple of occasions. Owner maintenance is getting harder and harder.
Hello Senior rider. I guess I am in your group because I seem to remember most of my air filters looking similar to my kitchen sponges! Which I would use if I have riding on a weekend and needed a replacement filter! Did not make much difference on performance and it was much cheaper o:))) Cheers
@@patrickcooper9641 In a pickle, I have used on old sock.
@@seniorrider9337 Did that too. It was great when your first pair of socks got wet since GoreTex did not exist back then you just had to rotate them and you would always have a dry pair. And when I tell the guys at my dealership they look at me like I am nuts!
@senior rider - Lol, I've lost an open filter a time or two over the years..! They breath so well, you didn't always hear an intake sound change and didn't realize it had come loose, or worse, fell completely off on the road or trail...
My back can only handle so much of the clamshell riding position pounding... Lol
Thanks!!
As a short person just getting into riding in my mid fifties, I really wonder why all the bike makers have mostly gone to forward pegs/boards. I can't reach forward controls so it's mid pegs or nothing for me. Shawn you and I have discussed the Honda CMX500 several times. That little bike is almost the only one on the market now that I think would be a really decent bike to start out with, was looking at a 2011 Suzuki S40 Boulevard but they sold it before I could get my endorsement. So, I'm back to the CMX500. The big problem I've seen with that bike is it's still new enough that I can't find good used bikes. But i guess its cheap enough to spring for it new. Might just have to do that. Well Shawn, you and Momma take care, I'll see you tomorrow. God bless.

Thanks for the tech talk on the R18, looking forward to seeing one disassembled! See you tomorrow!👍
A beautiful and magnificent piece of machinery and a total joy to ride
Couldn't agree more!
Thanks for showing me this beautiful bike when I visited.
No problem 👍
Thanks Andy!!
As I look at this beautiful machine it effects me the same way the R1200c did. Not for everyone but the lucky few who buy will be well rewarded.
Well said..!
Thanks Earl!!
Kelly all the way home : "No, you just got a new toy" 🤣🤣
Lol..! Thanks will!!
That R-18 is some vehicle. Congrats to the peeps about to make its presence a reality. I won’t tell you about our weather cause yours sucks and mine doesn’t. Lol. Stay safe and be weather ready👍🏾
Hi there Shawn and Kelly I am not a mechanic but I love your tech talks you make them so interesting, we called in at Williams BMW in Manchester our local dealer they had 2 R18s in they look even better in real life, beautiful machine, great Vlog thanks Shawn be safe you two see you tomorrow 😀👍🇬🇧 Rob and Lynne.
Way cool..!
Thanks Rob!!
Thanks for that Mr Smoak, another brill vid on the R18 and it really is making my mouth water.
Kind regards.
Many thanks!
We had a black dog with a curly bushy tail just like yours. Her name was Sassy and she was a Chow mix . We really loved her, she passed away in 2011 . Thanks for showing us the new BMW, sweet bike. Have a great weekend.
👍😎👍 Demo at some point...
I sure hope to before winter settles in for good..! Lol
Thanks Aadam!!
Thank you for explaining where every thing is is on the R18, I have just purchased one and although the hand book is available its a little overwhelming ....Thanks again Eddie uk
Hi u2 great vid thanks Shawn and Kelly Shawn wow nice bike 🖤👍🆙️🏁
Thanks 👍
It's really starting to grow on me.
Not crazy about the exhaust system. Looks kind of weird. But what a cool bike.
First? Valves are like my 2009 RT. It took a while for mine to settle in, the engine in general seemed to take a while. Sad about the challenger.
I don’t like foot forward pegs at all. The R18 has it spot on for me.
Some cool technical stuff on the R18, protected cylinder heads, nice. That Matco hat is slick. Good stuff Smoaks!
Thanks Gus!!
Not gonna lie....6k valve adjustments would be a deal killer. Agree with you regarding foot position. This is the reason why I didn't like the Spyder F3 Limited and most cruiser bikes.
Amazingly easy to inspect valve clearance, and adjust when needed..! Stone simple and anyone can do it.
Thankfully the new Spyder RT allows you to have your feet wherever you wish, though the 2014~2019 RT floorboards were mostly neutral...
Thanks Steven!!
i did that with the boards when i had my victory cross country. what a shame someone vandalizing a motorcycle
Sounds to me theres a motion detector built into the key fob. So if you tarry, the night lights stay on so you can see what youre looking at. It would be very cool if there was a light that came on when you sat on it, so if you were parked in a tight to get out of spot, you could also see what youre looking at. Theres an entire catalog of Aftermarket ideas for this bike!! Who knows? I might dip into that some myself.
The lights might stay on for a minute or two as they assume you will keep the bike in a garage so this will give you time to make an exit.
It's cool that the bike senses you moving and keeps them on longer, or so it seems... I need to look into this..!
Thanks John!!
Happy independence. Vlog 1776.
🎉 Thanks Shane!! I didn't thing about the number... Lol
Nice early for a video
If you do your own maint can to owner reset the maint reminder or does the dealer have to do it. Thx for posting. Good job.
Shawn, Your videos are fantastic. Any chance of doing an oil check video on K1600? Sounds simple, but just got the bike and it’s not as straight forward as my Harley. Much appreciated. And who are you kidding, that R18 will be in your barn before you know it
I'll try when I get the chance... It's like a Spyder, it has to be at full operating temperature (not just idling for a while in your shop!), let it idle for a minute or two in an upright position (center stand is fine) and check it within a couple minutes of shutting it down... Don't make it a goal to go for the high point, too easy to overfill. Anything between the low and high mark is perfectly fine! I go for just under the full mark during a fresh change.
Thanks David!!
It's all in what you're used to I guess. Other than the Buelle Blast I rode in the MSF course, I've only ridden forward control Cruisers. And to me, it's quite comfortable. But on a long, 300-400 mile day I'm putting my feet in all sorts of locations just for variation. I do agree that some of those guys look silly all splayed out like they are sometimes. And massive Ape Hangars? Don't even go there! LOL! Peace and love.

Thanks for sharing your insights on this old school and mean-looking machine.
You bet, Thanks for watching!
Valve check every 6,200 miles? Wow.
Well think of the expansion / contraction of the Engine with heat cycling. It probably grows 80 to 100 thousandths every time you run it then shrinks back when it cools off.
Will Wood,
That’s true. It’d be quite often if you ride ten to fifteen thousand miles per year tho. After the first few times a guy could get pretty familiar with the process.
@@slyguyaction well if you ever owned an old air cooled VW it just became a routine thing to check the valve adjustment every time you changed oil.
Will,
That’d work just fine. Good points. Thank you
@
Ryan's V-Twin Vlogs - I wouldn't panic over the valves, they are very easy and quick to check... Definitely something the owner can handle.
Thanks Ryan!!
Don’t like how often you would have to adjust valves 😯 put too many miles on for that. 😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦. Cool bike though 👍🏻
you do have a point, if you stretch your legs you have lost part of your control of your bike!!
Lol, not yet... I'll sure try to avoid that happening!
Thanks Gary!!
