@@mrmeeks222 I do, my bike is fully loaded so I have everything. The biggest difference is that it reserves all normal settings from the regular Dynamic mode, but they can be adjusted in Pro mode. Stuff like DTC, ABS, etc Dynamic mode actually has a ton of subtle changes, I’d recommend looking at the owners manual for an F900R to see the exact differences. You can find it online just googling it, it’ll come up on BMWs website.
@@KBar_Moto But riding wise does it give you enough jam? I know a lot of people complain about it being boring and that you max out the fun factor fairly quick into the ownership
@@mrmeeks222 I mean if test riding the bike in road mode doesn’t give off a great impression dynamic modes aren’t going to change it. The bike is very responsive and super fun well over a year into ownership at this point. If you’re looking to go faster you can obviously buy many other bikes for cheaper, new or used.
Interesting… the screw that has a clip for the o2 sensor wire is missing? Every factory model comes with an o2 sensor + wire they must have it running somewhere. Regardless the kit gives you an extra bolt you can use to bolt it to the frame, provided that same tapped hole is there which it should be from what I know.
Damn that sounds nice! Not too loud when cruising from what I can tell, just that comfortable low end rumble! But once you get on the throttle the sound gets front and center!
Definitely makes a big difference, volume increases a bunch but you also just get a beefier sound, the bottom end really comes through once you delete the cats.
The adventure sport trim may come with it, I can’t remember. I actually did end up installing the oem Honda quick shifter, it’s a pretty easy install so definitely not an issue!
very helpful Thank you so much. could you please show me how did you install the rear seat cover ? it came with three ties but couldn’t figure out how to do it 😅
@@AzizThe1 the underside of the seat has plastic tabs: you take the elastic straps and pretty much just wrap it around it and the cover itself. I don’t have a video on it I’m sure it’s out there somewhere though.
Only real mods are the Akrapovic slip-on and bar end mirrors. Everything else just cosmetic, like some of the tank grips, rear seat cowl, and removing the rear handles/luggage support. Cheers!
Just picked one up last week and I'm absolutely in love. Handles very well and sticks to its line. Did you have the cold starting issue by a chance? If so how'd you take care of it?
No issues at all. Avoid higher octane gas and keep it on a battery tender if sitting untouched for 3-4+ weeks. So long as you don’t try to fix and do anything yourself BMW is pretty good doing warranty work so just take it in when you have issues
Got the exact same model but 2024, I saw in the other video you got the Akrapovic exhaust for this bike, is this still the same exhaust in this video? Also, what was the sound like in real life comparing when it was recorded to the video? Lastly, would you happen to have any frame slider on? if you do, can you make a video of how to install them? Thanks
yeah same exhaust. It's more bassy and you can feel some of the thumps in your chest in real life, doesn't fully pickup on video especially on lav mics in my helmet. I just recently put frame sliders on, I can show how in a vid sometime soon. Pretty easy
The bike is heavier than its competition. It’s top heavy however it’s not that bad. I’d get a lighter exhaust, lithium battery and remove the pannier rails under the seat.
Whomever designed that white flashing light had to be someone that does not like motorcycles or performance. Super annoying. Very nice roads and virtually no traffic too. Something I miss. Very nice sound track from the motor and seems to have plenty of power.
It’s just a shift indicator light, comes set in midrange rpm by default brand new. I’ve since set it to just before redline and takes a few seconds to change in the menus. 👍
hiya! thanks for the vid, love your doggo! If you don't mind can you kindly tell why you keep that navigation cradle mount? i've never seen you actually using it (not sure if you even have that navigation unit). I recently bought f900r and it got it too and i'm thinking about removing it, but not sure if i need any extra (smaller) screws for that. Also i too want to remove those side cases mounts - do i need to put some special plugs to cover mounting holes or original screws will work fine? Thanks in advance!
I planned to get the nav phone mount but never got around to it. Doesn’t get in the way at all so I just left it on, don’t want to fiddle with removing the wiring to it either. You can just reuse the screws to cover the holes if you’d like, or buy some generic plugs from the hardware store. I didn’t bother with either since the bike is garage kept haha
I just took one of these for a test drive. I'm looking for a bike that is stable on the highway (for a 60 mile commute) and this certainly fit the bill. Easily cruises at "flow of traffic" speed, which is 80 to 90 mph in Florida. I drove the Ducati Monster right afterwards and felt speed wobble at 75 mph. 😱
Im considering trading in my duke 790 for the f900xr. But when I spec it out it's the same price as a tuono v4 base or a gsxs1000gt. Dilemas. I'd rather have the refinement of BMW. But better sound and versatility at that price is almost necessary.
i have f900r, i ride also a duke 390, fun, but neutral was hard to find, drive me nuts, rubbish. BMW it's more refined bike. I will sell and looking upgrade to S1000R(R)...Traction control it's amazing feature on F900R, also cruise, quick shifter and heated grips.
The XR versions of these bikes add to the price quite a bit. If you really don't mind not having fairings or wind protection save the money and buy the nakeds. You're definitely paying a premium for the tech and 'the BMW touch'
