Yes sir and the center is adaptive so swivels as the bike leans.Plus, those headlights look like they could turn night into day. Are they all LEDs?
Had a78 Ford pickup that did the same thing...Yes sir and the center is adaptive so swivels as the bike leans.

I don't see anything like that in the manual and have not seen any of that in any forums. The oil change interval is 6,000 miles.Mellow FYI. I was talking to a coworker the other day that owns several modern BMW motorcycles. He tells me that the ECU tracks both the mileage and the age of the oil. Once it has been determined the oil needs to be changed the ECU decreases the engine output by 30%. He then told me that ECU needs to be reset after an oil change to get full engine power restored until the next time this occurs. Otherwise, the bike will only operate at a max of 70% of the power output if the ECU has not been reset after an oil change. He also informed me that a dealer oil change is about $150 or so. I am just sharing this information that he told me.
I think that the key thing is that the "change oil" indicator must come on. If you change the oil before that light comes on (i.e. before the engine decides it is time for an oil change) then the "power-down" would not occur.I don't see anything like that in the manual and have not seen any of that in any forums. The oil change interval is 6,000 miles.
I have the OBD Bluetooth and Motoscan app so I can reset anything.
I'll report back at mile 6,001.
Many owners do their own maint and never take the bike to the dealer.. that's the camp I'll be in.

Sure, no problem. you have to have some type of reset tool either the GS-911 or an android phone/BT OBD/Motoscan app (Thanks @RedBird ). Even on the Tracer I needed an OBD tool as I put it on the center stand and started it and put in gear - that throws a fault code and when you turn off the bike it won't start again until you clear the code.Again, I am only passing along the information provided to me.

Good luck finding out more about the previous information that I had presented.
