Nice review. Good job. I have a 2021 xr but most of the things you point out are true for all xr riders. Good to see a really long term review from a real rider
Thanks, bro! We all share love for motorcyclism, and the XR is definitely one of the best bikes there is. I'll keep making various reviews and action videos. Thanks for subscribing! Cheers!
Hi One Two Rider,
Thank you very much for this series covering your XR👍. I’ve recently purchased a second hand 2015 and I’m finding your review very informative.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks, bro, and thank you for subscribing to my channel! I am very glad to hear that you find it useful! I'll create two more videos, to cover all the aspects of this beautiful bike. The last part is covering the maintenance, so I believe you will find more useful info. Stay tuned! Cheers!
Thank you for such thorough ACTUAL ownership reviews (both parts I & II). I'm doing a ton of research on purchasing a new 2023 S1000XR and these two videos have been the most help so far as you didn't just go over the features of the bike that every other video seems to do.
Thanks, mate! It means a lot to me that my reviews are recognized by real riders. There are also parts III and IV of the S1000XR review on my channel, you can watch it.
@@OneTwoRider Watched all 4 and great information all round. Part numbers, recommendations, and personal experience. These are what ownership videos should be about and you nailed them. Well done!
@@Cdn_Bodizafah Thanks again, bro! All the best!
I love my 2023 S1000XR. Racing red. Low suspension. Love this engine and riding position. Previously owned the S1000RR.
Julio, do you think you would be able to do long distance touring on the s1000RR the way you would do on the XR ?@@JulioVillavicencio-ru2sn
Can you do a video on checking valve clearance next time you do so? Would be much appreciated.
Of course, but I will do it at the end of season, not before.
Brilliant and very informative video .having a 2018 s1000xr myself with 28500 miles on it I've decided to keep it rather than trade up to Gen 2
@@guybryan8248 Thanks! And a great choice, believe me that Gen1 is much more fun to ride than its successor
Good stuff, thanks for sharing looking forward to part 3
Thank you, bro! In the next part there will be comparison between two XRs, one with 30k and mine with more than 100k km. Basically, they still look the same. In terms of the bodywork quality, mine suffered only few things. Cheers!
Thank you very much for your reviews, they make me feel good about staying loyal to my XR (2018), which now has 65,000 on the clock. The alternator has just broken, which is why I briefly doubted whether I could drive another 40,000 km with it. Now not anymore🤘
Thanks, mate! I've changed my alternator at 76.000 km, and it is now 122.000 and works great
@@OneTwoRidercurious how much did the alternator cost?
@@SAB-iq1kp I purchased an used one on Ebay for 60 euro
For me, I still like/ prefer this 1st Gen S1000XR compared to the newer revised ones.
I agree, it is definitely more alive than the newer version. However, I ordered the M version and hope it will have the 1st Gen XR's character ;)
Good educational source. Can I have to inquire, since which year BMW resolved camshaft issue?
@@zezebo7 thanks! They actually have never fully resolved it, but the younger the bike is, the lesser chance for the camshaft failure.
Excellent insights pal...best video I watched so far...not like those UK whingers...🥴😂. Subscribed...will watch all. Great job...👏
Thank you so much, bro! Cheers!
Excellent review and it looks like you have some fun roads in Bosnia.
Thanks!
You are dead on on your review, right up to the cam chain tensioner. I changed it @ 35K with a manual tensioner and took a whole 20 minutes to replace (fairing taking the longest time). I also normally have to change the headlight bulbs each year as the vibration seems to be harsh on them. I always have spares and changing them are easy.
Thanks! You won't have any problems with it anymore. Cheers!
Witaj kolego . Możesz dorzucić jaki dokładnie wrzuciłeś ten napinacz . Moj też ma taki przebieg i hałasuje. Pozdr
subscribed!! :-) suggestion for the videos... please keep the music level down. We are more interested in what you're saying and engine music than background music blaring suddenly. Cheers - keep the good videos coming!
Thanks, mate! And thank you for the advice, I will lower it to the minimum. Usually, I don't use the music when talking, just between the review sections. More videos to come soon! Cheers!
Great review man, lots of useful info! Many thanks!
Thanks, bro! Cheers!
Amazing video!Where is this beautiful scenery you're driving in? I would like to visit with my XR. Pozdrav iz Grcka!
Thanks bro! This is in Bosnia
great review and lots of interesting info, cheers :)
Thanks a lot!
Thanks, I have 2018 approaching 40,000. My plan is to keep to 100,000 as not bike is good enough to make the cost of trading worthwhile. Your review has encouraged me that this goal is achievable and what to expect.
Thanks, mate! Just do all services properly and on time and you are good to go. Cheers
great feedback, thanks !
Thanks! There will be more of these
OneTwoRider aka Candromero ? :) Dobar osvrt na motor, a dobar i video. Sluzit ce on tebe jos 100k ;) Je li ovo potez Kladanj-Vlasenica gdje vozis ?
Slazem se sa komentarom za buku full otvorenog izduva na putovanjima. Sve su prilike da na svog i necu staviti grane, jer je i sa orvorenom klapnom sasvim dovoljno glasan
Hvala ti, Essosa! To je ta dionica, dobro si prepoznao. A slusao sam gen1 s otvorenim izduvom, nepodosljivo je glasan. Ako si vec nabavio, probaj ugradit na par dana, ali nemoj ici dalje od Bradine;) Zivio!
Bradina je najmanji problem, to je i pozeljno da malo vristi i puca :) ali treba nekada skoknuti i na dalje putovanje :) A ako probas nove grane, onda su polovne ako ih odlucis prodati :)
@@essosa1 Zato i kazem za Bradinu ;) nije losa zezancija za ponekad, ali ako ga valja slusat non-stop, bolje je totalno prigusiti.
Thanks for posting. Great review.
Thanks a lot, mate!
OneTwo Rider, do you think that a person would be able to tour on the s1000RR the way they would on the XR ?
No, for several reasons: comfort, luggage, fuel tank capacity...
Really good info man, thank u!
Thanks a lot, bro!
@@OneTwoRider our profile names are so randome lol it's the first time I ever watch a video of yours haha, can't wait to get my hands on a XR my ass regrets having a 701, stay safe and health to ride!
@@NFL2337 ;) cheers!
Fantastic review! A question: how every kilometers are you changing the air filter?
Thanks a lot! I change it every 20.000km.
@@OneTwoRider sorry for the inconvenience, I just wanted to confirm.. I'm about to buy a first generation BMW S1000XR, and I'd like to know: how can I check if the chain tensioner needs to be changed? How can I understand if the camshaft is almost broken and needs to be changed? Many thanks :)
@@Francesco0800 regarding the tensioner, you should notice short rattling on cold starts (lasts about 3-4 seconds) that will get worse until it start rattling on idle..
Cam shaft error can not be predicted, it just starts with a loud knocking from the upper engine compartment.
@@OneTwoRider many thanks for your help, much appreciated!
Pozdrav, nisam bas najbolje razumeo da li se menja lanac ili spaner kada pocne da se cuje pri paljenju, moj trenutno ima 38,000 na satu.
Odlican review, imas sub od mene! Hvala unapred!
Zrdavo, mijenja se spaner, ne lanac. Ide manualni umjesto automatskog
Nice review! Totally agree on the timing chain tensioner. Need to do the upgrade to the silver one.
For the quickshifter, I found that it doesn’t shift that smooth. Did a recalibration of the sensor, but still not that smooth all the time. I’ve noticed that when I apply pressure with my toe to the inside on the shifting leaver it becomes smoother. Any suggestions on this?
i have s1000r 2022 model, and quikshifter on this bike is shit compared to my honda 2019!
Mine really worked flawlessly, all the time. And I don't see why it should react to such a toe pressure. The most problems with the quickshifter come from a bad switch behind the clutch lever.. Try to check it first
@@OneTwoRider no, its not the switch, i checked, i do have 2 s1000r, both shifting with lots of pressure with toe, also downshifting only works sometimes. to be honest bliping is only works ok if racing, in normal riding mode its pain
@@labasrytas2876 my XR never did a bad downshift, it just needs more than 3K RPM and a fully closed throttle to work properly.
@@OneTwoRider in those specs, my honda does the same much smoother even withouth blipper, just with quicshifter...
Better to change to a manual cam chain tensioner. Their is also a grey tensioner sold by bmw for bikes over 20k that is longer. I went with the manual from socal. No start up rattle
I agree, that's why I went directly to a manual tensioner. Bike is now 105K km, and works totally fine with the stock cam chain.
i have the same noise on my bike, and heard of the grey tensioner. but not of the manual tensioner? do you have a link to that one? and if installed the chain noise is gone?? thank you
Great Video 👍
Thanks!
What‘s engine oil do you use? OEM is BMW 5W40,I use shell 10w40 now.
Motul 7100 5w40, and 10w40 in summer
Great review, i ride a GSA 1250 but interested in this bike
Thanks, bro! I'll do the review of the BMW GS 1250 as well, soon.
@@OneTwoRider that would be good, id like to hear the differences in the two bikes
@@glenns001 stay tuned, I'll publish it in the next 30 days. In the meantime, I have several different bikes to test. Cheers, Glenn!
Hello. friend, I have a question at what mileage to change the timing in the 2015 s1000xr motorcycle. Current mileage 41,000 km. The engine is no longer as quiet as it used to be. Regards
what are the average maintenance costs?
@@aadzaad depends on what you do. Basically, it is the same as all inline 4 engines..
Following the replacement of the cam chain manual tensioner, I have noticed a slight roughness when utilizing the quickshift function to change gears.
That shouldn't be the case, I think something else is wrong. However, don't too tighten the cam shaft tensioner..
Pozdrav, da li znas koji zazori ventila su na xr-u? Vozi li se taj xr i dalje, koliko km ima sada?
Koliko se sjexam, ide 0,11-0,20 za usis i 0,26-0,35 za izduv. Trenutno sam na 123.000, ide i dalje
I'm TJ from Malaysia, I wonder the front suspension able to adjust manually, or only when pressing the ESA button, it will electronically adjust the front and rear suspension?
Hi, it actively adapts suspension during the ride, and you can only choose between Road and Dynamic option. However, you can manually adjust the preload on the rear shock by long pressing the ESA button on the handlebar.
@@OneTwoRider as I know XR have low and normal height version, for high speed handling concern, is there any pro and cons, Is it able to change the suspension system one to another?
@@zhengjason Those settings are factory made, so one can choose which suspension height to order, but when purchased, one can not change it.
@@OneTwoRider what tyre you will recommend for summer?
@@zhengjason Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE
I have a 2018 model and it runs like clockwork but I tried the new model and didn't like it as much.
The throttle tracked at a constant speed, the general feel was more plastic, the seat was bone hard and beside the TFT screen it was nowhere near as nice as my older bike in my opinion.
I trust you, especially knowing how well this engine work. It would be great if there is a TFT and LED headlight upgrade for the gen 1 XR ;) Hope they will fix those issues that you've noticed at least on the next gen.
Pozdrav drug ,jedino pitanje.
Jel sam te ja razumeo dobro da lanac bregaste pocinje da se cuje tek posle 30.000km . Gledam jedan motor na oglasima a podaleko je od mene pise da je 20.000km na satu a 2016god cena korektna. E sad vlasnik deluje ok on ga kupio u Swiss i vozi ga 3 god kaze da se lanac cuje samo na sekund isto kao sto si ti objasnio i posle zvuk nestaje . Jedino nisam skontao dali si rekao da se lanac tako pocinje cuje tek posle 30k . Iskreno plasim se da mi ne uvali neko motor od xxx km sa vracanom kilometrazom.
Tako počinje, čuje se samo kad se upali na hladno, traje sekundu i prestaje. Zatim se čuje kad god se upali motor, te kasnije i dok radi.. Ja sam primijetio da kod većine (kao i u mom slučaju) počinje između 30.000 i 40.000km, ali nije isključeno da se javi i ranije, očigledno. Svakako pregledati motor prije kupovine, ovlašteni servisi imaju pristup servisima urađenim u garantnom periodu.
Hellow
I have 2017 xr 23000 km now . Iused to use castrol power 1 racing 5w40 oil andlast week just changed to putoline 10w-40 the ticking noise increased a lot especially after 5000 rpm noise still there . I am gonna change back to castol 5w-40 and hope the noise diasappear . My question is have you ever experience this kind of situation ?
Hi, I didn't have any issues with the thicker oil and believe it's due to the type of oil, not its weight (viscosity).
Very interesting, thank you
Thanks a lot, bro!
Pozdrav, opet da pohvalim i pitam za natezac lanca posto imam originalni crni plasticni te se cuje na nizim obrtajima.2017 god.i 28oookm.
Rekli ste da ste vi stavili manualni koji treba podesavati a pojedinci su protiv toga zbog straha ako im se odvida kontra matica da ce napraviti stetu i tu je i druga opcija "silver cap"malo duza varijanta?
Koji je Vas prijedlog te gdje se to moze kupiti a da nije neka xy marka? 😉
Zdravo! Ako je krenulo sa zveckanjem, postajat će sve gore i gore, tako da je najbolje ugraditi manualni zatezač. Matica na zatezaču je s osiguračem, tako da nema šanse da se odvrne. Kod mene besprijekorno radi već 90.000km. Taj sam kupio: www.ebay.de/itm/163831309780
@@OneTwoRider pogledao sam na na e bayu, ma ovo je senzor s S1000R a nigdje ne pise da ide na XR ili je to skroz isto sve?
@@dejanbuzleta9931 Agregat S1000RR 2009-2018 je konstrukcijski identican S1000XR-u i njihovi, lanci i zatezaci su isti. Razlika je samo u gradji ventila (kod RR-a su titanijumski).
zatezac s tog linka je ugradjen na moj motor
Pozdrac zemljace iz Vankuvera! Sad skontant po komentaru da smo nasi, sjajan review. Juce sam menjao Tuono v4 za XR 2023 i odradio 500km. Sjajan motor i prilicno tacno sve sto ti rece u video-u po pitanju buke motora, menjace i voznje. Ono sto ne mogu da pojmim je kako je moguce da stave tako lose sediste na sport turera!?! Nadam se da jedno od onih resenja po netu radi poso. Naravno sub-ova sam se.
Could you please provide a link to the manual tensioner? Thanks!
Of course: www.ebay.de/itm/163831316590?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=707-127634-2357-0&ssspo=cR37gVvMRja&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=yOi11hmdRjO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
My exhaust valve seized and the bike wouldn’t start, confirmed by disconnecting the pull cable so it could move and it started, bought new headers after it did it again as you can’t service the valve.
Didn't know that is not servicable.
I've the xr of 2020 2nd Gen , and has 5500 miles , and rattles little in overall . They said the 2020 doesn't have the cam chain issue as the old Gen have ... It's this true? Thank you
It has a noisie engine, but it shouldn't rattle. And they have probably fixed the cam chain issue on the new model.
Ok thanks

2:24 That's not my experience at all, might be down to subtle differences, but whilst the XR is very smooth on pickup if you keep increasing the throttle, if you try to maintain a very steady pace at certain speeds between 20-30mph it'll start to jitter and stutter in a way that's extremely uncomfortable and it's even worse in 1st gear at low speeds and low throttles such as making tight turns in carparks, almost always meaning i need to use the clutch. This is only true if the bike receives a tune, but then the high gear torque is insane, and smooth as a baby's bottom.
Everything else is bang on, especially given the engine noise, I always think mine is about to blow up but it never does haha.
Thanks for the comment, bro! Given your experience with the "jittery" throttle at low speeds, it's pretty strange, since I didn't hear from other owners about this issue. Mine is "smooth as a baby's bottom" as you said ;), and my brother's XR as well, throughout the whole rev range You should check the chain slack, and maybe clean the throttle bodies, since there might be a problem with it.
And don't worry about the engine noise, its rattle snakes are just pointing out how angry this engine is ;) Thank you for subscribing and cheers!
@@OneTwoRider Hey, as i mentioned in my case the jitteriness was an issue with tune, it's always done that regardless of stock vs full system and wear in chain. Next time I do valve clearances I'll have a deep dive into cleaning and renewing everything that i can get my hands on, I do have 1 question though. I had some issue where I thought my engine was about to die but stupidly instead of looking around and realising the mirror glass came loose in the mirror, i already tore into the engine looking at the camchain. Now 1 thing I noticed there is that the small sprocket on the crankshaft had heat discolouration on it, and it also seemingly was having less clearance at certain angles than others. Have you experienced anything of the sort especially having used a manual camchain tensioner? I wonder if the upper sprocket the one that my camchain wraps around might be a little bent? That said despite me noticing this about 8k miles ago, engine still runs relatively sweet, but still slightly worrying, a mechanic said that the discolouration on the sprocket is not entirely unusual. I have pictures if you are interested at all, and cheers for the great review, just finishing up your Part 3 right now 👍
@@AntaresSQ01 I didn't notice anything unusual when checking the timing chain. Are all teeth on that sprocket equally worn? Please send me those pictures on Facebook "OneTwo Rider" page to check it. I could also send you pics of my sprockets to compare them..
@@OneTwoRider Cheers, I messaged you on Facebook 👍
Got myself a 2019 last month but the sounds it makes still makes me worried, about to slap a loud exhaust on it so i dont hear it and can ride without worries =D
