Found your channel a few weeks ago. Loving the content so far! Gotta say u have great taste in motorcycles and gear. Blue titanium bolts for the s1k would make it pop for sure!
Watching people ride s1ks just makes me angry now…. Being locked at 8K I’ve had my bike a while now and never even experienced being in the power band…. Looks like the bike likes being between 8-14RPM………I’m really just riding a $27k r6
@@CrossPlaneMikey dealers not available until September in my area… tried Cleveland and Columbus….. Milage wise Im there and some…. Would like to keep warranty so I’m waiting for them…. 🤷🏾♂️ suggestions?
@Binny_Bomba shit man that sucks, I guess wait until September. It's not but a week away but yeah I'd be pissed if it was ready to go and they told me to wait. My local dealer is pretty small so they have a lot more availability. Once it's unlocked, I think you'll be more than pleased with the machine.
@@CrossPlaneMikey I know…. Not doubting that… just anxious…. And worried I will miss the season for hot streets… have to take it easy and relearn the bike… preferred to do that in 80 degree weather not 50…
Fastrrak, where are the videos of you speaking about your hayabusa and why you love it ? My second question is, if you were to ride in the rain without the rear fender, do you think that water would splash up to your back in the process?
@@FastRRak FastRRak, what I meant to truly ask is that since you did the rear end light replacement, if you rode in the rain, do you think the water would splash up to your back; considering that you removed the original rear light placement gear?
The ETVs are mapped differently. Race modes are 1 to 1 ratio, the others are not. Some are increased and some are reduced, depends on road vs dynamic vs rain.
Honestly, I want to decat it. However, with the decat I have to flash it/remmap the way you did with BT. But I spoke with UK BMW dealerships, and they told me that if something happens with the engine and we see it's flashed, the warranty won't cover it. If anything else outside the ECU fails, that's fine, but flashing/mapping the ECU and then something happens... GG! So, I am till growing a pair of balls to decat + flash the ECU after...
It's doesn't need a tune when you ditch the cat. Do the adaptations and let it relearn for a few rides and it will be fine. I tune my own 24 and the bike was lean as hell down low and rich as hell up top.
@@jasonisdn @FastRRak Thank you, boyz for the information. I will proceed with Arrow headers then without the flashing part. I really don't want to screw over and give eventual reason for the BMW to decline the warranty. Today I spoke with another rider that I met on a moto gathering location near London UK and he has 23 model, exactly like ours and he is riding it for 4k miles now without flashing but with Akra headers. He said no problems at all, just it might be more uneven at the cold start. Thank you again, boiz.
@@alishfitness anytime, and it you ever question the AFR values take it to a Dyno and just run it some and see if it's lean or rich. Since you are putting on a new pipe, maybe even go ahead and have a wideband installed. That way you can monitor it.
I sure with the occasional exception of an obvious manufacturer defect, most failures are operator errors. Like any vehicle either car,bike etc the manufacturer schedule for maintenance needs to be followed to ensure reliability.
Believe me, the problem is not the bike rather the people themselves. As you mentioned they don't know how to properly ride/use the bikes. BMW shouldn't even sell the M bikes to noobs in the first place imo. They are bikes meant to ride on tracks with proper maintenance.
I own a 2024 M1000RR....so I have been watching every bit of information out there on all these failures (I have reached out to guys who had issues as well). The breakin, as defined by BMW, says that your breakin rev limiter can be removed between 350-750 miles and oil is changed. NONE of them were done before this (EVEN Motomillions was done after 350). The motor on the single R is NOT the same as the double R, Calimoto was a rod failure so its different than the others. With Motomillions, his was Brentuned, and his limiter was moved, and he had a single over-rev of 250 RPM.... We know of at least one that failed that had literally JUST completed his breakin period and had everything still stock on the bike...they found metal in the oil pan, and it was a failed bearing. IMHO, there is a possible bad batch of bearings or there is an issue with how owners are breaking in the Double R motor, with the 2 ring pistons there is a critical break in procedure. With the single R, the only known issues are the coils failing and the water pump issues that plague all european bikes (Ducati has same exact problem). The biggest issue that I see are dealers that deny a warranty claim if you have tuned the bike...whether it was the cause of failure or not....experiences have varied. AFAIK, Motomillions was the only motor that was denied motor replacement... The reliability of BMW IMHO is BEYOND good...look at how many are out there with 20-30k on them and are still in perfect running order and then look at the owners profile...I see so many that are simply ABUSED IMHO and are still rock solid. It seems like BMW is the brand that everyone likes to rev the crap out of at bike nights and try to watch flames come out the exhaust, etc.. I have seen major failures on every manufacturers bikes...I saw a Honda triple R with complete motor failure in the first 200 miles and the owner fighting to get it covered....it happens...and I dont see BMW being any different...its just that it has happened to a few people with large audiences and those 3 double R failures have been WIDELY publicized. Everyone keeps telling me that Fastlane D's failed...his was an issue with the shock and with a bad wheel...its NOT a motor issue. To me the S1000RR is a ROCK SOLID bike that has a very LOW percentage of failure when you look at the actual rate of issues (there are a LOT of them and aside from the coil and water pump, you dont hear of any "true" issues). THE M1000RR failure rate is a lot more concerning, as there are less than 5% of them made as compared to the S model, so the actual failure rate seems WAY HIGHER.....but I own one so I am way more sensitive to it... :D.
@@AceBoogie82 guess people are seeing the possibility of have bottom end issues and steering clear of them. I mean who wants to risk it, knowing you are going to tune it and modify something that they could potentially void the warranty over....
I completely agree with you on this. These bikes have actually been proven to be reliable as I know a few guys with 20-30 thousand miles with no issues. 2nd gen and 3rd gen. Some guys just abuse these bikes and don’t follow guidelines from BMW
I hope you have seen S1KRRAFA video on he's brand new M1000RR engine blown only at 830 miles,he didnt tune or rev bomb it,bmw did replaced a new engine for him under warranty...
And his wasnt tuned or even have an exhaust yet....HIS is the one that scares me (I also own an M1000RR). IMHO I think they have a defective bearing out there.
I clean my bike every time I ride it! I use McGuires waterless carwash with wax. Every 500mi I use chainwax chain cleaner and pressure wash my chain and bike while I'm at it. I have a 22' Gsxr1000rz with 23k+miles on it. My chain and sprocket look brand new!
Hey guys, know that BMW offers a torque map. Raises the torque level at lower rpm while sacrificing upper end hp. Totally great, instead of a dip at 8k, it comes on HARD. Highly recommended and FREE from your dealer. And if you don’t like it, they are obligated to reverse it for free!
1100 miles is not much, it's brand new. The concerns I've read about are the engine fractures and electronic malfunctions due to rain. I had a coolant leak as soon as I bought my 2014 new. The servicing was also just too costly. Im from Australia. I had an overheating problem on my 2006 ZX6R when I got stuck in a tunnel in 40 degree Celsius heat. The bike was fine - the battery melted. That's why I trust the Japanese bikes. I've also been told the BMWs are made by cheap labour muslims in Germany. Not Germans. Stats say most people return to buy the BMW, and it has the best longevity of the brands. But it's lower down in terms of reliability after yam,honda,kawa,suzy.
Buy a Master Blaster for drying bikes/cars !! It will change your life!! Worth every penny??? Especially for people like you that submerge your bike while washing it👍
Nice! I could not agree more! Take care of the bike and it will take care of you. Have just over 13k miles on my '21 RR, did the break-in service, put BT stage 2 at 800 miles, and 0 issues. About 4,500 miles are pure track miles as well.
You make make too much sense lol. People are soo eager to tune and roll race these bikes. They where made for the track. Why would you want to raise the rev limit...its crazy the BT does that.
When I purchased my S1K, the dealer told me. . As soon as you put that Bren Tunning on your bike, your warranty will be void. BMW is very strict with these bikes for a reason. My bike already pack a lot of power, I do not need anymore power. Everything you said in this video is spot on 🫡
That's odd. My dealer laughed at me at my 1st service and said "you don't have the Bren on here yet???" I have a 22 and it's had 2 repairs under warranty. You can always find a BMW dealer that sells the handheld and installs it for you.
Ya yo the dealer told me the same thing there was a beat up piston in front of us he pointed at it and said that was from a 2023 s1000rr with bren tune,either way I void the warranty if I tune so 🤷🏻♂️
Definitely not, as I said, I’m not associated with the Brand in any way, but I know they pull the data off of ECU I don’t know how you got that from this video
I'm 9K in on mine. All I have to say is MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE! I see so many people riding around with filthy bikes, dirty and worn out chains and sprockets, etc. Performing your maintenance on time prevents 90% of issues.
John, it was great meeting you at Homecoming this year! I enjoy the combo of the Harley and Sportbike content. If at some point I could swing another bike other then my Harley I would pick up a Sportbike for fun.
all makes sense! did you say "F off" with the bike sir ? my ears pal !!! geeez. 600 miles service for a reason. in other words, don't be a Sandy 😂. sweet ride! investment for sure man! especially with channels etc. ADV bikes are for beating up not these types. good talk. c ya tmrw 9am in the driveway for my wash. thx pal. 🎉
I have a question please respond. So new s1000RR waiting for first service they’re all booked up until September. From the beginning I noticed ticking… sounds similar to modern VVT ticking. Now that I’m listening closely I always hear it throughout the rev range… is this bike always ticky and noisy up front?
@@FastRRak Thank you. I'll be following your channel. Looking forward to seeing how you like your S1000RR and more important, its reliability. I currently own two Ducati out of three. Never had an issue whatsoever. Eyeing getting back onto a Sportbike but the new Panigale V4S doesn't do it for me for many reasons. The S1000RR will be my goto of choice but all the talk about engine failures are rattling.
Hi Fastrak. Ive just bought the same bike in the UK and want to Rizoma edge mirrors like yours. It’s a universal kit that Rizoma supply and I’m wondering if they were easy to fit to the S1000RR? Thanks
