Yesterday I used the GPS on the bike for only about the third time. It worked fine but the map did not autozoom as I got closer to my destination - like my car does. I was parked outside of the restaurant still looking at a map of the whole Western US and not the street I was on. There is...

Do you by any chance have a clip of how it sounds.

What channel is it on?

I looked - mine is a 2023 Carbon R and the center bezel has no number on it - only FTR 1200

I haven’t looked very hard - I only think about when I read these posts. How can I tell which number mine is - is it marked on the bike or is it part of the VIN?

How can you tell what number a bike is - is in the VIN or elsewhere. You have me curious as to what mine is.

I just got mine 3 weeks ago and the New Rage tail tidy with integrated turn signals was my first modification, followed by bar end mirrors and today a TOCE slip-on. I have a carbon belly pan on the way and a few more bling bits on the wish list.

I am getting the hang of it and I can work around it. If I connect the headset before I start the bike the bike disconnects the speakers. If I connect the bike first and then the headset all is good. I just have to change my routine and put my helmet on after I start the bike. I still forget...

I have a general question. I just got my Carbon R and love it. Looking through the list of options the Gillies rear sets looked expensive but after riding my bike for a week I am tempted. The controls are a lot more forward than I am used to (Triumph Speed Triple) and I would like them to be a...

First modification - tail tidy - I don’t know how a bike manufacture can make such a beautiful bike and stick a piece of scaffolding on it to hold the license plate - it had to go. Pretty (very) pleased with this

You may be right in that it was a teething problem. I rode it all day today and it didn’t stall once.

Update - I have been riding most of the day and have clocked up 300 of my 500 mile break-in miles ready for my first service that I booked the day I got it. I am now convinced that Ride Command is not the culprit. It is clearly that the phone does not like to be connecited to the Cardo before...

Sorry if I wasn't clear. It happily idles on one cylinder as it is supposed to (takes a bit of getting used to) but then for no apparent reason it just stops. It isn't even like a stall, it's more like it would be if I turned it off. But, fires right back up and on my way. Not sure if it is a...

Well the good news then is that I am not crazy, the bad news is that in 3 years they haven't fixed it. But, maybe that's normal. My last bike (Speed Triple) didn't connect to my phone at all.

Sorry, another teething question. Today I did my first ride of any length - around 100 Miles. A few times sitting at lights getting used to it cutting to one cylinder it would just stall. Idling away happily, no stuttering or coughing - it just turns off like you have done it on purpose. The...

I am on day 3 of FTR ownership so still on a steep but happy learning curve. My bike is a 2023 FTR Carbon R with RideConnect. I have managed to connect my phone no problem but normally I put my helmet on turn the music on (Cardo Freecom 1) and head to the garage. With my new bike I do the same...

I joined this forum because I am about to buy an FTR after 4 Triumphs and wanted to learn about them and compile a mental shopping list of upgrades. I have been keeping my wife in the loop for reasons that any married man (who wants to stay that way) will understand. Today was my birthday so she...

I had some friends in England (I am English but live in the US) - they are looking at a trip down Chile next year and asked me to join them - they researched shipping their bikes over and then looked at renting, I think now that they are of the opinion that the cheapest way to do this (language...

I very much doubt if they would even notice, nor start it up, nor even know if that is legal or not, however, they will be completely up to speed on the documentation you require for temporary importation - and I am kind of curious about that myself. I have often thought about how many overseas...
