    Finally, a decent summary of the BMW brand. Most of what I hear is that these bikes are boring. I don't own an M/S1000RR but I've been riding an S1000R for a few years (2017 - 2020 - till now). Every time the motorcycle makes me smile and gives me the pleasure of riding in the city or at fast twisty roads. It is even suitable for longer trips. To sum up, I have never had any problems with these motorcycles, everything is done according to the instructions by the BMW dealer. Thanks and I hope there will be more videos like this.

    Thank you for the insight on S1000rr's over that length of history. I am still without my '24 after they took my '23 on 12/10/23 due to a stop sale on the connecting rods, or so I was told by the dealership. BMW Motorrad would not share the information to confirm this from the dealer. I have been in contact with your sales and since they took the bike with the tune installed, I have to pay that 400 to unlock and then add the new vin, I am not complaining but I tried to get BMW to cover that and they said I should have submitted it earlier in the process. I did beat my '18 RR pretty well and traded it in with 16000ish miles on it, for the '23. I am not very happy with how BMW Motorrad has handled my situation. I THINK, they should have told me to go to a dealership and send them the vin and we will issue it to you and keep the loan going. They are having me redo everything again, but whatever. Thank you for putting out all of this knowledge from your experiences and research, keep it up!!

    I have a 22 S1000rr with 28,xxx mi and still going strong. BT Tune since 8k mi. I change my oil every 2500-3000 mi and the only thing that I had to replace is the timing chain tensioner (other than regular service items I.E. spark plugs, clean air filter, and etc.) I think people should realize that 200+hp from a 1 liter engine is a lot of power and in order for it to last then adequate service is needed.

I have a 23 s1000rr stage 2 with stage 2 add on's, you ever notice oil mist coming out the sides of the bike (settling on top the clutch cover) while hard riding above 170mph. or even riding low gears (hard riding shifting at 13.5) not going higher than 5th gear? I sent my bike back to the dealer but they seen nothing wrong other than the air box was dirty with oil that came up the ventilation hose coming from the crank case(due to pressure from high speeds). They cleaned it and i took the bike back to do more testing to see if it will do it again and....it did. i even installed a catch can kit from Alpha racing and its still doing it but now i know my air box will stay clean tho. lol Any ideas?

    The Dealer diagnostic over rpm abuses the reason engine failure. Not cover by extended warranty.

I've got a 2024 S1000RR and done 486km so far, just been following the manual descriptions of no more than 7000 rpm for 1st 300km and now less than 9000rpm, but I've been doing it while street riding during shorter rides and varying the revs constantly and allowing deceleration under engine breaking. Sounds about right to you? Regards.

      That sounds dead on what I had to suffer through on my '23. Look in the manual, it states all of the requirements for the rev ranges and how many miles/km. But here it is anyway
      Until the first running-in
      check, vary the throttle
      opening and engine-speed
      range frequently; avoid riding
      at constant engine speed for
      prolonged periods.
      Try to do most of your riding
      during this initial period on
      twisting, fairly hilly roads.
      Comply with the running-in
      speeds.

    Great information. How many miles did you have on the M1Krr and the S1Krr? Also Ive heard The M1000rr requires a full engine tear down "engine service" at 30,000km(18kmiles), on top of switch cam adjuster inspection, new O2 sensors, new gear shift indicator sensors. All things the S does not require. Do you know about this?

    • @BT_Moto
      @BT_Moto  Місяць тому +1

      I'm looking between the kawasaki, BMW, Ducati, or Aprilia for my next daily, just want to make sure that one or the other doesn't need excessive maintenance compared to the other (I do all the work myself on schedule.)

      Yammie newb does a video on rain mode.
      Like the other comment said, if you're very gentle with the throttle movements from the start you might be ok, but the best bet is slow speed, tight turn practicing every day until you can be very smooth with the throttle, clutch, and brake at the same time.
      There's lots of learning involved, especially with 200hp literbikes (I'm still on one with around 150-160hp after over 20 years of total riding), it's very easy to crash from not being smooth in any number of ways so if you have to get this kind of bike first, again just practice, practice, practice. A stunt cage is a good idea too.
      I'd still recommend the Yamaha mt-09 or similar first for half the price and all the most usable features

    I had the opportunity to meet you on a track day in chuckwalla.
    I’m on a situation that I need to get my bike flashed or I will sell the bike.
    I have only 1100 miles on the bike and one track day, which was enough to get me frustrated.
    Why have a 200hp top of the line if you can’t use the full power/capability of the bike.
    My biggest concern is to get my bike flashed and have bmw deny my claim in case something goes bad in the future.
    I’m considering sell the bike and get a RSV4 Factory.
    I would lose money but…
    Please guide me on the correct direction and if you say that is “ safe “ to get the bike flashed and not having bmw giving me shit for flashing the bike, I will get the stage 1 right now.
    Plus, that cold start noise that the bike has drives me nuts
    Thanks and I will wait your reply 👍🏻

      Yeah that is an old bike but the new s1000rr are great! Now, Mani, over at Motomillion, had an engine blowout on his m1000RR and BMW didn't even honor the warranty. So, that alone would keep me from buying the m1000RR at least. But, I would trust the s1000RR since the internals are not exactly the same as that of the m1000RR. Also, Bill, over at CaliMoto, had a blowout on his M1000R bike while on the track and that told me NOT to get that particular bike...lol..lol

      Sorry to hear that. There will always be a lemon here in there with every manufacturer. As stated in the video, make sure you have a good relationship with your dealer and always CYA with records. BMW may not be perfect, but who is? We have been lucky dealing with BMW Motorrad since 2010 and have a great relationship with multiple dealers. Poor treatment of the customer is never justified but hopefully they can make it up to you some day.

      @@BT_Moto My man; there's is a really nice bmw dealership about 5 minute drive down the street from where we live so it's easy to bring the bike to them if any issues occur for sure. There's also 2 other excellent mechanics, that used to work for that dealership, who are 20 year veterans, and they now each have their own shop, with plenty of 5 star reviews, and the maintenance prices are nearly 50% less than bringing the bike to the actual bmw dealership...I really like BMW s1000RR. With that said there's a KTM dealership as well as a Suzuki Hayabusa dealership; but I'm sticking with BMW for sure...About 20 miles or so from where I live there's a Ducati dealership called Coleman Powersports(Yes, the same dealership that 650iB will be at both today, April 26th & 27th) which is located in Woodbridge, Virginia. But, personally, I don't trust their mechanics and have seen too many horror incidents and read too many stories of the negative issues with the mechanics. But, it would be a good place to buy a motorcycle. I would still choose BMW :)

    The problems associated go beyond general maintenance and break-in periods. The fact is that the broken bikes are outliers of the manufactured bikes. Throughout this model design, there are more outliers period. It's QC, GD&T design, and DFM by the engineers and comes with the release of a ANY completely new model design. I hate that our trying so hard not to say one bad thing about the latest models s1k

    I followed the strict manufacturer break-in on my 22 M1K and it still consumes oil...About a quart over a year period. Perhaps I was too gentle but I definitely didn't beat on it.
    BMW is aware of the issue and my mechanic showed me the service bulletin that has an allowable acceptable amount of consumption, mine is within range but still feel like they should address and fix the issue,
