LOLZ. Thanks man!! Its a lifetime of commitment...LOLOL. You will notice there are a few years between each bike...I simply stopped trading in bikes and letting the dealer rake me over the coals and decided I would find a way to keep them and not have to regret the one I let go.....although I did start letting a few go just to make room 😛

It "seems" that way but in reality there have been 3...(MotoMillion, CarWow, and S1kRRazza) that were actual motor issues. Fastlane D was a shock issue and a tire issue (he looked at all sorts of things trying to figure it out that it was a tire). CaliMoto was an M1000R, not a double R which is a completely different motor (its an S1000RR motor). I was VERY deliberate in how I broke in the bike, as its a lot different than most streetbikes, its truly the same motor they use in WSBK...2 ring pistons, titanium rods, different heads, etc....it requires a very specific breakin...which a lot (most) dont have the patience for...as most wanna just get on it and grip it and rip it. I am worried that there are more that we DONT hear about than anything else....as all the ones we hear about (main ones are Motomillion and Carwow) it was bearing failure, which IMHO seems like a batch of defective bearings. We will see...I am not doign any true performance mods til the bike has 2k miles on it...and even then its just a pipe and a SAFE tune (nothing that changes rev limiter)

Yeah...this one you can see the gap around the edge..LOL. At least its ontheunderside where I am the only one who see's it.. 😛

I got the outrageously expensive BMW spools that are a tiny bit wider... :D. I tried a set of woodcraft spacers, but it didnt leave a lot of room for the bolt into the bike (like a 1/4 inch is all) so I didnt trust it to hold the bike...lotta pressure on that tiny bit of bolt...so yeah...I still force my wife to sit on it anytime I put it on the stand... :D. I sold one of the other bikes to make more room in the garage for it LOLZ>..

Those arent available on the M bikes...at least not the 23/24...as this bike has a different mechanism to allow for quick change rear tire....the typical chain adjusters that go on the S1000RR wont work on the M as far as I am aware...

@@redrider0151 I just went on the Alpha racing site looked up 24 M1000RR and the chain adjusters comes up. So you would be fine.

I am not tracking the thing so the stock is fine. If I end up with issues like FastLane D on the shocks then I will go Ohlins though...I am not gonna mess with it.

Because it is much more reliable to hit down than up....so right now I NEVER miss a downshift...but occasionally miss an upshift....

@@redrider0151 weird. Maybe adjust your lever? I never got on board with thr gp shift. Partly because I also have 7 bikes some dirt bikes etc. But I only go to one track where there is 1 spot where I could see it being useful. Banging downshifts braking hard into corners just seems so right idk. I'd rather miss an upshift also if I miss a downshift I could easily blow a corner. I do understand it's the norm to be fair.

@@Naptownstreetsquid Yeah....I cant tell you where I would use it, but I would LOVE to try it....but because I have so many that I cant change I simply wont. Its hard enough to remember that 3 of them dont have quickshifters... :D I have always wanted to try though....and you can only be a street-rossi if you have GP shift... LOLZ

@@redrider0151 I like to push back against this idea you have to run it. I'm sure there are some tracks where it's a major benefit. I think it was Kevin shwantz who ran standard shift his entire career.

​@@Naptownstreetsquid Yeah...I agree its just a "Fad / Brag". people simply wanting to say they run GP shift. LOLZ. I would like to try it, but most likely never will, as I dont ever want to damage one of my bikes that I cant run it on if I accidentally downshifted when at full throttle.

I know of 3 M1000RR's that ran into issues...all 2023's AFAIK...I know of no others....is it an issue, possibly, depending on whether they cover the issues under warranty. Its the main reason I am waiting til I have 1500-2000 miles on it before I install a tune or a header. I see plenty of them out there getting the crap beat out of them without any failures. I am guessing there is a defective batch of bearings, and BMW KNOWS it but its not financially profitable to do a recall so they are letting them fail and turning away warranty on ANY that have a tune if I had to guess and only fixing those that are 100% not modified.....although they did cover CaliMoto's...I would LOVE to hear about any others....

@@redrider0151 the problem is oil thinning under high engine tempture

@@dragonsupersayan I dont race it or dog on it....and am as faithful as can be with maintenance...so I am not super worried unless I hit a factory defect...but I am still waiting til I hit a lot more miles before I do anything that could be questionable...

As long as you broke it in properly it should be totally fine. Mine doesn't burn any oil whatsoever and runs perfectly.

@@northernlefty5412 I broke it in EXACTLY like Troy from BT Moto suggested vice just riding it 600 miles....I did the 15-20 mile shots on the highway, running it up to 90 and letting the bike engine break to seat the rings and all the other miles were a back road loop that was all shifting gears, breaking, etc... It was the most deliberate break in that I have ever done and went the full 600 miles before I had the rev limiter removed and oil changed. Its not burning any oil at all at the moment...I did the slip on here in the last week. In another 1000 miles I will do the header and tune and hope that I am good

Its been pouring rain nonstop here in NC for the last 2 weeks... :D

They are for Road GLide only as far as I know...

@@redrider0151 it’s a shame they will look nice on me street glide

@@CharliePenington-49erss THere are similar options for the SG....just not these specific ones....

I dont think they have won the Championship...but thats more about the rider....I think they are going to win it this year though, at Toprack is kicking ass (and all the Ducati fanboi's are crying about it LOLZ)...not that it matters...the Duc's are simply way too aggressive for me on the street....this bike is nowhere near as aggressive as far as seating position and streetability...heck it even has heated grips and cruise control... :D. I have owned a few Duc's as well...my 1199R was a fantastic bike but was crazy hard on my wrists and the heat it produced would dry roast the nuts..LOLOL...they are fantastic bikes though. (You can see in the video I still own an extremely expensive one....)

Thanks!! Got the limiter removed Friday and now its rained every day and is supposed to rain teh next 8 days as well... 😛...you cant make this up..LOLZ

@@redrider0151 all the sweeter when you do get to ride it. It’s been oppressively hot here, I mean hot for the PNW.

Yeah...you can place then anywhere you want and they will stay....you are supposed to be able to move them to 3 different "locked" positions so you can move them out of the way (like the CRG mirrors) but when you do it loosens the set screw and the whole mechanism fails...

They are LA Chopper Hammerheads

@@redrider0151 thanks beautiful bike broda!! I got the same color but on a road king special …

@@d.yescas9778 Thanks!! When they first came out it seemed like you saw them everywhere....now you hardly see them at all!! If I could have I would have gotten every single one they offered in this color..LOL

I got a box called CPLAY2air and that allows the bluetooth carplay and works on the Harley stereo (as long as you have the jumper plug to allow carplay ie if it works plugged in, then it will now work bluetooth). THe bars are LA Chopper Hammerhead 12's and the rear is a Suicide Choppers 16 (the short one not the tall). THanks for the compliment!! Best of luck man!!

@@BillNiersbachthank you for the reply 👍🏽

@@anonymouslyknown1 I also use CPLAY2air...just an FYI....it absolutely works seamlessly with the Harley radio....some dont (there are a bunch of boxes out there that do this...)

@@redrider0151I appreciate that info sir

yeah...i hate being tethered to anything... especially my bars...so i cant stand cables being connected. I would guess there are even better Bluetooth-carplay modules out by now that sync a lot quicker....mine takes about 15-20 seconds...

Mine is the XD, not the XE....but i can tell you that the difference between the 2 of them, the 30/30, the 475....i have ridden bikes with all of them....the difference in performance in your seat while riding around town is barely perceptible...only place you wilk know is on a dyno or possibly the track where you are looking at timeslips. 3-5 hp and ft-lbs of torque at specific rpm on a 900 lb bike is not going to be a difference your gonna feel on the street. The more important thing is the guy tuning it....the feel of throttle response, how you ride the bike....i ride 2up 90% of the time on the RG and its fantastic....my other bikes have a much more harsh power delivery....the RG is by far the smoothest and best on the street....the wife likes it the most. The power is very linear and it makes good power and torque throughout the rev range....its rare that i ever NEED to downshift (as long as i am over 2200 rpm, it always has enough pull) unless i want to really rip it, and then its game time

Hey Jeff....yeah...they absolutely do. I actually waited to do the cam, intake, exhaust etc...until my shop was intimately familiar with all the features they had to deal with as far as the new ECU on the 2021's. I had the bike for 8 - 10 months before Dynojet even released the cable to connect to it and then it was a few months more before the shops had ironed out all the bugs they had to deal with. A friend of mine needed a few tune corrections, as he was one of the first guys I knew to get it and had some issues with the check engine coming on and the traction light coming on. They are all pretty ironed out now as far as I know....mine has never had an issue.

This is a hydraulic clutch....there was no change...

Thanks!!

yep...you caught it in one of your video's as the wheels were being put on it... :D

@@redrider0151 lol I thought so

LOLZ!!! Heavy Breathing in that helmet with a mic right in front of me!! LOLZ

How was it, I rode to work at lunch, felt good
