Nice video keep up the good work

[@scottsemone]

Appreciate it

[@darrelltemple1565]

Brilliant thanks!

[@scottsemone]

Glad it helped!

quite a bit of work but great savings. I am still debating if I should get the big blue for my R18 classic

[@scottsemone]

Which ever lift you decide; I'm sure it will work with the X518, since it provides a sturdy and level lifting point for a typically lift device.

hello. I am a rider and own an R18 Transcontinental from South Korea. I purchased a 2024 model, but recently there has been a problem with the drive shaft. It was supposed to be clean, but it didn't look like rust or water stains, so even if I used chrome polish, metal polisher, or aluminum foil dipped in cola, it wouldn't come off. If you know a way to clean it up, please share.

Hi Scott. I have an r18b as well. How easy/difficult is it to install the aux lights and bar? Did you buy these from BMW or are these after market? Did it come with instructions? Thanks

[@scottsemone]

All of the required parts are BMW OEM parts found on the Transcontinental model; it wasn't super easy, yet it wasn't too difficult either.....You can absolutely do it..

[@williansouza3779]

Where did you buy this jack lift??? It is very good to storage my bmw r18

[@scottsemone]

I use the KERN-STABI X518 stand in combination with a 1,000 lbs lift that you can get from Harbor Freight.

[@agnitionavicula]

How are you certain that the lifting points are legitimate? Seems lifting by the engine block casing is risky.

[@scottsemone]

The KERN-STABI is affixed to the Muffler Hanger and the engine case Lifting Points, called out on the BMW Service Manual; I'm actually using the KERN-STABI frame at the lifting point.

@@scottsemone Service manual? Where did you find that?

[@scottsemone]

I've been working on putting it together; sourced from BMW documentation and third party accessories

[@dlmp70]

@@scottsemone are you willing to share whatever you’ve been able to put together in terms of the service manual? Thanks for this wonderful video.
