Why the BMW S1000R/RR/XR pop and bang 

the front looks so so beautiful. don't know why people hate s1000xx series lights. in my opinion they are beautiful.

3:46 love the biker's reaction ! he is so happy

Love that popping and banging - I never new it was designed in.....thanks for that RJ

0:20 replaying that for the past 40m it's too good

The lack of the second air popping was actually something I actively disliked on my Fireblade coming off my Street Triple. Currently shopping an S1000R and it's going to be nice to have it back again.

The S1000XR makes some obnoxious pops after the headers install... and yes, I love it.

RJ´s passion about riding and motorcycles in general, gave me the will to get back on the saddle after my big motorcycle accident. In some way he was my therapist and the Nuda was his hot assistant.

Nothing beats the pop in an exhaust... thanks for the explanation ... very informative

That 690SMCR is just Drop dead gorgeous 😍

You have lots of admirers in the motorcycle community R J. Thanks for all the videos.

absolutely love the sound of your s1000r man

You gottta post more vids of you riding the s1000 around london. The sound gets me every time.

The old intro back, love it! :)

I love when you downshift and just floor it like in the beginning of the video! Please make a compilation out of it 😜

My ZRX still has it's air injection system and I personally love the popping on decel. It's very aggressive coming from high RPMs with my aftermarket muffler, but sometimes I would like a smoother sound. I may install some block off plates in the future, but that would be for removing the excess plumbing.

Love that sound, music to the ears.

My very stock R1200GS with the spec Alra pops like crazy as well and love it!!!

Anyone else just love the fact that RJ never shows his face, not even to people he sees on the street. Reminds me of the stig haha

Fantastic, love the old intro. It's far better. 👌🏼😎

I really like the old intro more than the new one.

Thanks for the explanation. I love the pops on my S1000RR too.

I just picked up my 2nd XR on a 2019 plate in motorsport colours and I just fitted an Austin racing exhaust and it is loud,love the S series.

you're the reason im buying a bike, thanks my brother

RJ.........another great entertaining video. love that SOUND....pop pop thanks for explaining i was wondering how and why it made that unique sound. ride safe

Everytime I watch your videos, I just want to hop on my bike and go for a ride!

My MT-09 threw fire balls and popped like crazy with a full Akra installed, loved it.

RJ is the man

Sounds lovely

i was waiting for this vid

That guy's 690 looked pretty sweet

I love the pop pops sound.

The BMW was the original reason i subbed here a fair while ago. NOw i just love all the videos. But the BMW remains my favourite bike :)

RJ..Sir you r the best👍

2016" RJ knew instantly with the new engine😎

That system is the exact same thing as having a lean fuel mix. but as it is tuned, that lean mix is only when you close the throttle. Nice!!!

they had AIR INJECTION on cars in US from 1968 to around 1984-ish. I had a 69 chevelle and a 1983 S-10 with it. It was fine unless you put on aftermarket full flow mufflers, they both would pop and crack,.. the chevelle would spit out little fire balls that got me many of tickets,.... oh for younger days,...;-} cheers.....

Popping or not those bikes are so damn epic

I would love to hear you talk while riding! Love your accent! You should get a mic!

It's called SLS in BMW world. It's actually meant to reduce popping by burning it earlier in the system. Deleting/disabling it enhances the popping because it ignites right at the exhaust tip. Just the tip, mind you, and only for a minute.

That funny 💢🤛🏽 love BMW sound.

rj u r best bro

Damn What a beautiful bike!

2016 690 has the old engine, think the 2017 has the same engine... could only be the new 701 which has the new duke engine...

RJ, were you using dual audio recording in this video? When you lifted the helmet shield to talk to the KTM guy, the audio was echoing. Just for the record, your videos are the best in quality I have ever seen on RU-vid bike channels. Cheers from Brazil! =]

Nice Video! Love your Content :)

Awesome noise👍

Nice bike and video too...tell me, how many bikes you have? have fun and good continuation.

yes top ten!!!

I love the backfires of my bike, sounds so good

I wasn't really aware of that when I bought my S1000R, since it's winter here and could not go for a test ride, but damn! I love that! The thing that really mindfucked me is that the characteristics of this engine on this bike feels like my Z4M Roadster just transformed into a bike - same pops and bangs (quieter because I'm running stock exhaust on the roadster), similar power delivery and incredible engine sound plus surgical precision. I was blown away! It's like both of these machines were engineered by the same team. P.S. Now I want Akra on the Z4M as well....more $$$$ and I haven't even started modding the bike. Oh well...

That's right RJ, but if someone hasn't had his bike tuned after making any mods that affect the AFR, then it's probably in need of a tune. Bikes generally pop when they are running lean.

KTM 690 Enduro and SMC do not have the new twin balancer shaft engine that can be found in the recent Duke 690 and the 2017 Husqvarna 701. FYI that SMC has the twin spark 690cc engine that RJ has already ridden.

if RJ isn't the best street rider on the technical aspect, I don't know who is....

I'm a big fan of you and Nuda ^^

even tho just for 10min the XR was the best bike i've ridden so far and yes even on the standard exhaust she did pop ^_^

I have a Suzuki SV 650 S on which I installed a carbon fibre exhaust it pops and burbles when I back off. I've had it tuned by some guys who race bikes across Australia including Philip Island. They said its a not a problem and not to worry. I like it as well so if they arent worried why should I be?

👍Nice bike✌RJ.✌

Wicked !

Aw man cant wait to get out on the road when i get my license! Im gonna buy the new Svartpilen Husqvarna when it comes out! What do you think about those bikes RJ?

Eliminating the SAI simply eliminates the SAI and keeps the computer from throwing a code. It will just get rid of the popping. My street triple has SAI and pops quite a bit when closing the throttle. What it does is inject fresh air into the exhaust. This combined with the heat and fuel causes left over gas to ignite inside the later part of the exhaust keeping emissions down.

I have a 2013 BMW s1000rr mine is ecu flash with quickshift launch control and wheelie control like all of them but mine pop louder and I have a shorty aprokravic exhaust

Kawasaki calls it the "kleen air system". its possible to mod it out by plugging some hoses and as a result it stops banging when closing the throttle at high RPM. Not that i would do that.

Pop and bang , i want moreeee those sound!!!!!

Hi Rj , great channel !!! I got a question , how do you keap your bikes so clean and so shiny?? Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹

my old honda cbf 500 2006 it has a carb but it olso has the fresh air system to exaust if you down shift and go from high rpm and let it go down it wil pop

Even the WR125x has a little sas box that pups a little air into the exhaust

RJ I love your videos so much man I watch you all the way from Egypt it will be amazing if you reply love you

Please tell me the guy on the 690 has a channel 😍

So, is there like any option or mods to make an exhaust do more pops? no mather wich bike and how many cylinders? did'nt understand clearly sorry..

awesome RJ, what do you think about my video? ofc i got motivated by you. keep it up men!

RJ what happened to indicating when changing lanes and navigating your way around cars at speed?

hm ... i thought it was "overfueling" ... my xr does this only in dynamic and dynamic pro mode and only when in gear. from where did you get the "air injection" info?

Hey RJ which bike would you take first the s1000r or the s1000xr ? The reason I'm looking at the s1000xr is because there's a lot of bugs where I live Fl.

Getting old sux, bad back replaced hip. I regulated to a Harley heritage now, miss the others, the BMW, Duc and the rest that have had to go by the wayside

bmw إنها الأفضل من بين كل الدراجات ... أنا أحبها

If that's true way does it not pop in rain or road mode ?

but if the fueling was right to begin with, should it not have unburned fuel in the 1st place and so it would not pop?

I love the pops on my XR :D

nice bike👍👍👍😁

My 2-Stroke has a SAS as well. Will it also pop and bang? I don't know because I don't have my license yet

Need 10 hours of your bikes sound video

bmw loved..but why, i love hyo :)

What I want to know is why does the S1000 engine note go 'wobbly' when in low RPMs? It sounds smooth at high RPM but when on the overrun at low RPM it sounds strange.

where do you have your audio recorder in this video? for conversation and bike sound, two different?

Sorry but how does the bike pump air into the system? If I heard you correctly...

Is it just the SC Projects slip-on on the s1000r or is it the full system?

Would an S1k pop in the US or no because different emission standards and tune?

🔥😊

*-RJ-** Show Us Your GoPro SetUp*

So these bikes have no or low carbon buildup in the engine? Because in cars I think they root it into the engine to be reused and burn the unburnt fuel?

"Keep the Legend Masked"

Royal Jordian what do you think about the yamaha fz-07 *mt-07*?

What kind of bike did the guy at like 3:50 have? Is it an mt-07?

BMW👌

Do you have to use the clutch to downshift, and do you still need to blip when dropping the gears?

All bikes have this system in place. But not all pop n bang like the beamer does? I think the beamers run a different map than other bikes

I LOOOOVE IT!

Rj...where did tou buy these mirrors for the bike?!

what are your thoughts on the Ducati Hypermotard?

Are you ever worried about other bikers having helmet cameras, do you take extra caution to protect your identity? I noticed you opened your own helmet just slightly for the other guy to hear your voice. For the topic of this video, I've wondered that popping sound too so I feel this was a great little video about it.
