BMW S 1000 XR test ride

- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- The new XR has come very close to everything I want in a motorcycle. It is now a refined and highly capable bike that doesn’t lag far behind the GS in terms of comfort but offers a new dimension of riding with its power and agility, making it a definite contender for a potential replacement for my 1250 GS.

Every bike has its nuances to the experienced rider....which is why we have more than one motorcycle 🏍 awesone review. The xr is a finely crafted german engineered machine... and a pleasure to own.
Thank you! Well said, the XR is a pleasure to own!
Finally a review that focuses on the most imporant aspects of considering a new purchase.
Love your honesty. Thank you a lot for this video
Thamk you very much!
I have same noise with my endurance chain in S1000XR 2022, I thought it might be the central stand but I figured it's the chain instead. Great review bro!
Thank you!
I had the Gen 2 and the moment the gain is a little lose the slap happened, now owning the Gen 3 with high performance chain and no far no issues 😊
Thank you for the comment! If I understood correctly, the type of chain is important, but also that it is completely tight. I checked the chain tension, and it seemed tight, but on the road, I had no way to measure the slack!

Nice bike. I’ve had mine(same colour) for two months now. I can’t say, after 2,700 miles, I have heard the chain slap! Enjoy.
Thank you!
Vidim cesta mi poznata, kad od jednom skužim da je video snimljen u Zagrebu. Koje iznaneđenje. S1000XR najvjerovatnije moj sljedeći bike.
Throttle took some getting used to but once you get used to the bikes characteristics its bearly noticeable. For me at least
I just took delivery of a new 2024 Gravity Blue XR. I have about 100 miles on it so far, no chain slap or banging over bumps like your experience.
Excellent motorcycle and beautiful color, congratulations! I'm glad to hear that the chain slaping doesn't happen on all motorcycles.
I have the s1000xr 2022, I have the slap too but I discovered that it wasn't coming from the chain but from the central stand that was bumping on holes and bumps
Hi I like your video so good ! yes I have the occasional chain slap on my 24 SXR now done 500 miles suspect it’s the chain tension looks like it’s at its max recommended limit it started straightaway !plus big yellow full screen warning no emergency signal ! Annoying but what a fantastic bike just love it , Ash
@@onaroad4505 Thank you! Yes, it seems that regularly checking the chain tension and keeping it as tight as allowed is necessary. It's not a big problem, just a bit irritating. Once you get used to the bike, you probably stop noticing it!"
How do you like that seat... I have the 2022 xr... it's not good at all, had to customize mine, added alot more cushion. 🏍
Its the centre stand thats making the knocking sound not the chain👍
👍
The low speed throttle response lag is because some genius in the EU has decided that there needs to be a a small amount of throttle twist slack in new bikes.
I will ask about the vibration- is it still there in seat, bars or foot-pegs?
Thank you for the information, I didn't know that! I see no sense in such a decision, but EU directives can be very strange!
As for the vibrations, I didn't mention them in the video because there simply aren't any! The XR vibrates just enough to let you that the engine is running. The vibrations are barely noticeable and do not pose any problem.
I must note that this was a completely new bike limited to 9000 RPM. It is possible that the vibrations increase above 9000 RPM, but I will know that once I test the unblocked engine after the first service.
Hi love the video. 700 miles on my 24 XR and yes and chain slap noise over rough /bumps more noticeable when slowing down ( I suppose less noise from the engine then ) or could the guy have a point ref front brake pad click. slight engine vibration more of a buzzzzz from the 4 cyl but already a lot less after 700 miles went for the M raised comfort seat very good it is on the firm side but still good and you don’t slide into the tank such an amazing bike Ash
Thank you! Enjoy the excellent bike!
Drago mi je da vidim ZG, poseticu ga za mesec i po dana. Odlican review, tacno je sve sto je receno. Taj udarac je najverovatnije od centralne nogare koja klepece pri udarcu, desi se i kod mene ponekad, mozda je na nekim modelima opruga malo slabija pa se cesce desava. Od skoro sam vlasnik XR 2023, odlican motor ali sediste ne mogu da svarim kako su tako lose napravili. Probao sam da stavim M sediste od 2024. modela i iako ne pashe, moze se na silu nabiti. Bolje je dosta ali daleko od savrsenog, a i ovde u Kanadi je $1200. Ne znam sta raditi, ali moram resiti problem ako zelim na dalja putovanja.
Hvala na komentaru! Kod ovog motora su na centralnom nogaru dvije dosta jake opruge tako da mislim da nije u njemu problem. Nadam se da ćeš riješiti sjedalo, možda da probaš naći nekoga da ti preradi originalno sjedalo po mjeri, nije to komplicirano a ispadne dosta jeftinije...
BTW, I also have a 1250 GSA and traded a 1250R for this XR. The twin has a huge amount of torque, instant throttle response, the inline four will not.
You are absolutely right! The torque of the GS is hard for any other motorcycle to match.
I bought a new XR in 2022. Chain slap from the first day riding. I searched for other reasons for the noice over small bumps but ended up with the chain. I tried to adjust but still the same. Also after service at the dealership. I also have to say the mechanical noice from the engine, especially when cold is annoying.
It seems that this happens only on certain bikes. Maybe it's the type of chain??? In any case, it's not a big problem except that it's a bit irritating.
@@motobeat6183 I had the expensive and "maintenance free" endurance chain
Maybe the centre stand not the chain.
I don't think it's about the central stand. It has two very strong springs, so I don't think the problem is there!
I still don't 👀 the 2024 Black Metallic ⚫️ version in the 🇺🇲.
Same metal sounds on brand new xr 2024, i think this is breake pads from front and or small tool set under seat.
Thank you for the comment. The sound is coming from the rear end of the motorcycle, so I don't think it's the brake pads. It's possible that it is the sound of tools, but I am convinced that the sound on this motorcycle is coming from the chain hitting the plastic guide on the swingarm.
Hi, nice video. Thank you.
I think that the chain slap is inherent to this bike on the circumstances described in the video. After all, with the long travel suspension of the bike in case, that’s an occurrence that maybe is to be expected to happen.
Does the bike comes equipped with the endurance chain or it’s exclusively of the M version?
With the two side beautiful panniers the bike can be a serious alternative to the GS, if we travel solo. For two people, I still think that the 1250 GSA or the new 1300 GS are better bikes for traveling. 👍🏻
@@Fernando90054 Thanks for the comment. I was also wondering how the XR performs with a passenger, so I arranged for a second test ride after the bike is broken in and has its first service. I hope my wife will like it as much as I do.
It could be that center stand is clapping and not the chain.
@@motobeat6183 hope she does too, but with no top case for the passenger to feel more involved and protected, I wouldn’t bet too much on that possibility👍🏻
