Glad Mottorad helped you out. But please try to remember what life is like for ‘everyday’ riders, not blog celebrities. 👍 we don’t all get the same treatment.
Changing ignition timing advance could have something to do with a catastrophic failure of a connecting rod. I imagine. High performance engines are definitely more "delicate" by their nature for sure! and BMW is aware of this and it's great that they replaced it for you! I like to think that if you use the engine in the manner the manufacturer recommends during the "break-in" period - the more likely the engine will last and last... and last. There are "use" behaviors that can accelerate damages to the engine - poor "warm up" - being too "wrist-y" with it... etc... etc...
2-week turnaround for a blown motor replacement is amazing... I was expecting at least a couple of months. Also, I have no doubt, Ducati (SafeGuard) would have denied the claim. You do have to wonder if the Nate Kern call helped your case as well.
To all those worried about the M1000Rs engine, it's built in a manufacturing process you will occasionally, emphasis on occasionally have a faulty part. It is machine made by machines with upper and lower tolerances, as many quality controls there are there can always be a couple that will fall through the cracks. That's what the warranty is for
I bought a new 2018 S1000RR from my local dealer and my engine blew up outside the warranty (they do all my servicing) and BMW said this should have never happened and replaced the full engine at no cost... No drama, no fuss and two weeks later my bike was back on the road.. I cant fault BMW as they stand behind the customer and the product ... Two years later I trading in my 2018 in and bought a 2023 M Sport....
Failures happen no matter how stringent the build process or quality control. It’s how a company handles it that matters. Happy to see BmW stand behind their products. They make some of the best bikes out right now, hands down. I am a huge fan of the s1000rr and s1000r.
Hi Bill, so happy you got her back quickly. I'm a Napa-raised gal, living in Pismo Beach and just purchased this bike. I LOVE IT! I'm in AWE. Still breaking it in and my only negative is the buzziness of the bars and blurry mirrors. Any suggestions are hugely appreciated. Enjoy your channel. Thanks.
So on the first motor, I didn't really notice the vibration and I know people were complaining about it. But I did put my bar and mirrors on there almost immediately so that would make sense that today I used the stock mirrors and they were blurry. Email me and I'll send you over a link to the bar and mirrors I have.
I noticed this during my break in. After my break in I was able to change suspension settings. I have it dialed down to 2 and it made a huge difference. I think we get the wobble from the bike being so stiff. I tried the damper from motomillino and it doesnt clear.
Glad your bike is back, however you really need to know why the rod shattered as many other owners including myself will wonder the reliability factor?
The video showing the engine damage shows that you had a through exhaust system installed. Did you have any problems with replacing the engine under warranty? Did you put the stock exhaust system back on before returning the bike to the dealer? The video shows the stock exhaust system after the repair.
This is all great, but WHY did the motor fail to begin with? You need to know exactly what happened so you can possibly prevent it from happening one again. What was the cause of engine failure per BMW?
Hi Bill, not bike related really, but wondered what settings you use with your gopro. Lens ,iso etc. Always looking for ways to get good footage. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Though i doubt the tune inherently causes issues, I'm always baffled why they almost always increase the rev limiter... Sure, more revs equals more power but at what cost. That would be my bigger concern regarding warranty issues. Pleased it's up and running again...
Soo is the speed wobble just a thing you have to deal with on this platform? Currently waiting on an allocation for one but multiple owners have reported the same issue. Kind of defeats the purpose of a 200hp engine if it’s going to wobble at triple digit speeds
Hi I have a m1000r with competion pack the same as yours with a few mods ,now having had its first service and covered 750 miles I am a bit worried that the problem with your bike may also effect mine .
Why would bmw void your warranty if they know who you are ? Don’t you think they prefer to look good in front of your audience? First thing you say in the video “big thanks to bmw”. Yeah, seems clear a deal was made or you were not sure they would fix it. Anyway, really happy to see back the bike on your channel.
@@CaliMotoTV wow!! Thanks, BMW featured the same make and model parachute/rig as one of the old ones I own in their promo for the 1000M, kind of caught my attention. Might not be the worst fit for me, corny reason to like the bike, I know. I was worried after seeing a hole in your engine, kinda low key have to wonder about that tune though, not that I want you to pay or blame you anything,
It's always a gamble. Subaru of American voided my warranty on a new vehicle with 5k miles on it despite me complaining of excessive oil consumption from 300 miles. Motor grenaded and they flat out refused to warranty it due to a Cobb intake THAT THEY INSTALLED being on the car. Years later a class action ringland failure lawsuit came up but since I didn't have them repair it I was not eligible. I put a junkyard motor in the car and traded it in at another dealer. NEVER buying another Subaru product. Moral is, any mods can lead to long fight, depends on the dealership and the technicians looking at the failure. WTG BMW for actually diagnosing the cause of the problem!
Since your talking exhaust. Have Manny send you the Arrow gp full exhaust. You already know I’m curious about the alpha shifter hope that’s part of your build plan oh Bren tune samco hose kit
hey Bill, hope you read this one. bought a '23 S1000R new from the dealer, they did the 600 mile break in service back in feb. when i did the 6.5k mile service, found some serious chunks of metal in my oil pan. took it to the dealership and showed them, and was basically told to keep riding the bike until something more serious happened. well, the bike developed a pretty bad valve tick and now its at the dealership for service. dealership has been a real piece of shit digging their heels in about the warranty claim, and its gotten me so fired up i fully intend to go legal on them if they deny the warranty claim. if they took me seriously when i told them about the metal in the first place this wouldnt have happened. glad to hear that you had success with your dealer though. if you dont mind passing through some contacts higher up at bmw, i'd love to reach out to them about this situation
Unfortunately I don't really have contacts higher up but I would definitely contact customer service at BMW North America. Make sure everything's documented unfortunately dealers don't have much control over what BMW says on the other end. They're warranty process really sucks so just keep everything documented and give it a little bit of time and pressure and I think everything will get taken care of
@@S1kdownshifthey brother, so from that incident I got my bike back and it was covered by warranty completely. Sucked being out of a bike for a few weeks but when it got back to me it turned out fine for the next 6k miles or so. Bike went back to the dealership for another unrelated issue (key fob unpaired itself) and they discovered a leaking coolant pump. Bike gone for another month or so but again was fine after. Cue April 2024, got nailed by a red light runner and bike is totaled. I've since gone to a sf v4s but up until that point the BMW was running fine, all the way up to 16k on the odo. Problem once at 6k and once at 12k
That's some turnaround with the bike,, great response from the company and they race plenty of them ,, and road racing here has a lot all gens aswell,,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland 😁😁😁😁
Bren tune says their Genius gadget is better than just buying a flash ,because you can put stock tune back ,when you take bike to shop . If you just had slip-0n ,and put stock can on , suppose they would not know anything?
The ECU still has a record of writes done to it, so putting it back to stock isn’t really fooling anyone. The techs aren’t stupid. I am upfront with my dealer - they know my S1000RR is used on the track and has been tuned and they’re cool with that.
whatever you're telling. I'm sure the engine damage comes from your tuning. I myself also have an M1000R and a friend of mine. We have absolutely no problems with the bike. We didn't remove parts, either or tuned the engine like you. Be glad the BMW was so cult and gave you a new engine. Absolutely ridiculous what you're doing with the bike. I hope you leave your fingers off and don't start to tune on it again. The motorcycle is perfect as it is !
finding out for myself. have a '23 s1000r that blew metal chunks into the oil pan. bike developed some ticking in the valves and the dealership is questioning my warranty. ive got barely 6.5k miles on it, theres no excuse for whatever is happening right now
And just think, others have been turned away for coil packs which is a known problem because they had a tune. So no doubt Nate Kern phone calls and your you tube status had everything to do with it.
How then did Manny from MotoMillion, did not get warranty on his bike just recently, March 2024? Yeah, he did not have Nick to chime in a call with BMW. This is really unfair. Please provide any other info that Manny can get in order to help him out and keep his belief in BMW so that he will create more content on BMW motorcycles. Thanks.
That bike is gone, Manny cut it as a "loss" and has moved on. Things are case by case and all dependent on how BMWv views things. Nothing I could do to change that unfortunately.
Typically, German manufacturers will find any reason they can to avoid covering anything under warranty. You’re lucky they accepted your claim. Especially since you made changes to the motorcycle.
Hope you are OK Bill. Looking forward to seeing you again. Be strong dude, lots of love out here for what you do. We are only human.
What happened to Bill? Nothing on IG or YT from him in months.
Well Done BMW!
Glad Mottorad helped you out. But please try to remember what life is like for ‘everyday’ riders, not blog celebrities. 👍 we don’t all get the same treatment.

HEY Bill,
What kind of damper do you recommend to help with the wobbling at a higher speed for the M 1000 R?
I noticed this during my break in. After my break in I was able to change suspension settings. I have it dialed down to 2 and it made a huge difference. I think we get the wobble from the bike being so stiff. I tried the damper from motomillino and it doesnt clear.

Nice to see that she is back bro, ride safe always
Great channel man. Been following you a while from Ireland. My m1000r is on the way should have it in the next 2 weeks.
Which one you like better R1000 2022 or this m1000R ? What's differents, I purchased 2022 r1000
This is all great, but WHY did the motor fail to begin with? You need to know exactly what happened so you can possibly prevent it from happening one again. What was the cause of engine failure per BMW?
You should really watch the video.
Hi Bill, not bike related really, but wondered what settings you use with your gopro. Lens ,iso etc. Always looking for ways to get good footage. Thanks and keep up the great work.
You haven’t made the video on the magnuson-moss warranty act ? Im curious
BMW Motorrad well done , sadly we 'll never know for sure what killed the first motor.
No videos for two months ? Hope you are okay Bill ? 🇬🇧
How does this compare to the new SFV4S?
That was fast
Props to BMW. Smart move 🍻
fast fix! omg they took longer to do my valve adjustment at my local dealer then that fix.

Well ride it hard before the warranty expires.
Glad you got the bike repaired hassle free - well the least amount of hassle. Hope you are doing well.
Did the techs at the dealership tell you how many hours it took to replace the motor?
BMW well done🎉
So do you think your experience would be like all others?? Does you channel have anything to do with it?
Nope, happy for Bill, but the rest of us would still be trying to get a callback.
Great video. Have you tested an Aprilia Tuono V4? It's beteween the tuono V4 and M1000R for me. And I cannot test drive any of them where I live =/
I have a 19 tuono, for the money I'd take the m1000r
I’ve got a 21 Tuono and am currently on the list for one of these. Tuono is a great bike… when it’s not in the shop. I’ll just leave it at that
Hope you are okay Bill, best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧

What mounts would you use for a GPS and phone?
What time and days are you out there ? I could meet up and go for a ride. .
besides the engine blowing up.. what's up with the wobble above 120-130mph.?
They have bad reputation with the wobble?
Great job speaking about the Magnuson Moss Warranty Improvment Act. Most consumers have never heard of it. @MrLemonlaw
So, you kind of talked around the subject but to be clear. Did it cost you anything ($) or what? And if so how much? Thanks
100% covered by BMW warranty it cost me zero

Hello just want to ask the carbon wheels, I heard that this wheel is very prone to cracking. Do you have any problems with this up to now?
or if the wheel cracked by normal riding does the warranty gonna cover that?
Is the steeringdamper on the M1000R adjustable ? I mean the oem factory one ?
yes it is
Missing your videos bill! I truly hope you're doing well.
Saw your ad. Sucks you're selling it, but I get it. I'm the same way.

BMW does not know who you are? I also do not know who you are. But I know, that you should better go with a Harley.
that a huge call about BMW reliability, don't trust to this brand
