Long-term review of BMW S1000XR @100.000 km Part II Engine noise? (4K) 

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!

@@guybryan8248 Thanks! And a great choice, believe me that Gen1 is much more fun to ride than its successor

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!

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 ;)

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

Of course, but I will do it at the end of season, not before.

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

Thanks, mate! Just do all services properly and on time and you are good to go. Cheers

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

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!

Thanks!

Thank you so much, bro! Cheers!

Thanks! There will be more of these

Thanks bro! This is in Bosnia

Zrdavo, mijenja se spaner, ne lanac. Ide manualni umjesto automatskog

That shouldn't be the case, I think something else is wrong. However, don't too tighten the cam shaft tensioner..

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!

Thanks, bro! Cheers!

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

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.

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.

Thanks a lot, mate!

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!

Thanks a lot!

Didn't know that is not servicable.

No, for several reasons: comfort, luggage, fuel tank capacity...

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!

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.

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...

@@aadzaad depends on what you do. Basically, it is the same as all inline 4 engines..

Thanks a lot, bro!

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!

Thanks!

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 👍

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?

@@OneTwoRider Dogovoreno 👍🏻

True ;)

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.

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).

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

;) hi, Nik!

Witam, sprawdzam zawory co 30 000 km. Nigdy nie wymieniałem łożyska główki ramy, dokręciłem je tylko trochę po 100 000 km.

@@OneTwoRider dziękuję za odpowiedź . Trzymaj się . Wrzucaj więcej filmów ;) są naprawdę szczegółowe i świetnie opisane. Pozdrawiam ;)
