I like that you appreciate bikes remaining OEM and putting them back to OEM. Can't tell you how many times I've had to reverse engineer what others have done to motorcycles to place them back to OEM.
Like James Mays “unpimp my ride”
preaching to the choir my dude...
I have a preference to remain oem too. I choose customize only when necessary and within reason. This reply is not meant for telling readers right or wrong. It’s just my response to a comment that I share similar interest.
Yeah but those new headlights look a little tacky for my taste
@@kowalski2334the pre K67 generation bikes have insanely lousy headlights. My 2015 Yamaha R3's headlights were better than my girlfriend's S1K. Now my 2022 S1K... Well, let's say no one like to get infeont of me at night
I absolutely love the fact that you bought a very distastefully modded HP4, and that you are now restoring it to its former glory. Well done, sir! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! One day I’ll just buy a sorted bike for once. Lol 😂
@@HeroRR I honestly think that this is can be way more fun, and the bike truely becomes yours. I've done the same in the past and I've always loved the process of restoring it.
Man I been a sub since the very very beginning and I love how your channel has grown yet your content has not changed much (really good from the beginning). Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you so much! :)
Super tasteful mods buddy! Loved how the new lights look! Waiting for the next video
Looking to purchase a HP4 at the end of the year watching your videos how to take these bikes apart are really helpful thanks for uploading ride safe bud 😉👍
I recently got a M1000RR and regret selling my HP, loved watching this video, by no means am i a mechanic but its great how you show everything. Nice and simple. Wish id tried more mods on mine. looking forward to what you post next
This is my ultimate dream bike,loving the mods too keep em coming ♥️
Great vid as always. The blue levers went with the bikes color scheme in my eyes far better. White Blue and Carbon fiber just works on that bike.
Another awesome watch and learn video. Well done
Great upgrades, especially the lights and tires!
I remember doing alot more cussing changing my rear wheel,chain and sprockets! Hats off to you brother,that's why I love your channel. Not to mention you have every single bike I've owned minus an 02 GSXR 1000 that was my 1st streetbike and I traded it for my sv650 when I realized I would be dead if I kept it.
I have been watching your channel almost from the beginning and will keep watching. You are informative and interesting instead of these other guys that just squid around being obnoxious. I still want to buy your RC51. I promise I will take care of it. We can ride together too I'm right over the line in CT down 290 and 395
Haha if I ever sell it I’ll let you know. Although just a warning it won’t be cheap lol.
Gr8 vid, hero. Ride safe, god bless u.
Great video, I just got a 2013 s1000rr it on!y has 1048 miles on it ,
It's basically a brand new bike, I'd be happy to but your old levers for my bike.
Awesome vid, I had to go thru trial and error with my HP4. The rear wheel is a bitch, I went with the foot method. I loosen the rear axle, go behind and jam my foot under to "lift" a little on the tire, then pull out the axle. Then move the foot and tire drops to floor, then wheel it back past the brake calipers. Hope this helps! Cheers!
I have those on my Blackbird. Talk about a game changer!
These videos are relaxing
Beautiful bike. Very nice design👍
Gorgeous bike man! I've got the same one but its not as pristine as yours. Whoever you bought it from took AMAZING care of it. Good find! I'm considering some of the same mods for mine that you showed in this video. Mine went down the other day (you wouldn't believe how it happened even if I told you) and so as much as I hate to add some ugly frame sliders I'd rather do that and have the protection...any recommendations?
my dream HP4 would have blue tinted CF rims and maybe a custom rear end, as i feel the 1st gen designs have the rear end tad too long.
and of course the LED mod that you installed, thats even nicer than HID
Tip: only apply force to the end of the torque wrench. With one hand mid and one at then end it won't allow it to read correctly and speed up the movement too fast which will not set torque correctly.
Nice vid man - keep em coming :O)
those headlights are soooo clean
nice gains i see on the arms. looking ripped
Thanks brotha
Looks great!
Speaking from experience here...get yourself the Akrapovic mid pipe along with an ECU flash (Max BMW or Bren Tuning) once you've gotten used to the bike. When I got my HP4 flashed and dyno tuned it became a completely different animal. Mine was one of the very first bikes in the US. Build #0585. Love those LED headlights.
Good advice, thank you!
What kind of windshield is that
Thank God for showing me that I will buy one of each of them
I bought the same tires for my bike except I got 180 55 in the rear. I put about 100 miles on them and caught a flat in the rear, thank God i had a plug kit with me,
i got the same headlights , and dayum some screws are made for gnomefingers . but looks pretty sexy
Amazing with the tutorial game! Keep it up!
Pirelli Diablo Rosso III and Metzeler Roadtec 01 tyres are the best tyres I've had for heavy rain, icy roads and all other conditions
Have u heard of timsun?
Who rides an hp4 on icy roads?
Great video ❤️
Dope levers!!
Beautiful bike
Dam!!! Those calves are looking EPIC!!!!
Lmao thanks
What a beautiful bike
Awesome as always (grease the axle next time)!
I did… off camera!
That’s an insane difference on the headlights!
They're not well adjusted. Also a - for this kit is that adjustment is done at the mounting point with washers. So it's a huge pain to adjust if you didn't do it initially.
Also they have no beam separation. Thus "illegal" pretty much anywhere.
If that's a factor for a prospective buyer, looking somewhere else would be indicated.
Masking tape on the rim to protect it from the caliper. Or a rag over the caliper works too
Good idea!
You need to fully slide the rear calipers off the rail, the same time you’re removing the wheel.
Led so nice
About the rear wheel making it past the rear brake caliper: can't you remove the brake caliper from it's mounting point when the rear axle is removed? would make it a lot easier to remove the rear wheel without doing damage to it
I love this hp4
I got 5 months until I can get a new bike lol, it’s either one of these, a Panigale V4 (standard, not racing it lol so Showa suspension is fine for me) or a 2015-2018 Yamaha R1
Nice work so far👍 did you drop a spacer or small journal from the brake lever? I had a similar loose fitting lever once and I'd missed a spacer that I should have transferred from the old lever.
The new levers came with spacers. But they were with the clutch and I tried to mess around and find where to put them but nowhere made sense. Also they came with no directions. :/ maybe I’ll email Gilles
@@HeroRR In the video around the 12:50 mark something fell
Glad you got rid of those blue levers
Great vid, what exactly do axle sliders do that are bad?
I asked same question- still waiting - 😅
Hey HeroRR, do you mind sending us a link to the torque wrench you are using? Thanks!
Axle sliders have saved my fork bottoms and swingarm on more than one occasion on the track, not sure what your experience is with them causing more harm than good...they're not like frame sliders because of how low and recessed in and won't catch on anything
I have no experience with them. Just have it on record from multiple racers that they are risky to use.
@@HeroRR yea fork sliders are useful, frame sliders are more dangerous, fork sliders are fine, and rear sliders are fine too, i wouldn't have removed them.
FUCK YES BMW LEVERS dude yes ur the fuckin man I knew u knew better dude I’m so proud of u they look so clean and the led goes CRAZYYY gun metal looks sick
What’s the link to where you got the levers? I can’t seem to find them
those levers are over priced !! lol ... but i love those LED headlights ... can you do a full review on them?
Yes
Like your video like your work you know what you're doing I have a good question I have the same bike not the HP4 but the S1000RR My question to you is you mention something about 200 tires on my on mine the swing harm set I can go up to 200 however however I do not have forge wheels Can I use a site 200 as well?
You might be able to. But oem specs for your bike is a 190. I would just use the 190 if I were you. It’s cheaper and you have more options and the bikes electronics were designed to work with it. I only went 200 because that’s what the HP4 uses. Hope this helps. :)
I'm curious to know why you say the axle sliders "can cause more damage than good most of the time"? Btw, I don't use them, I'm really just curious to know your reasons.
EDIT: The LEDs look cool but it has a lot of black spots compared to Stock... in terms of visibility range the Stock is better.
Nice vid. Love the levers and great tyre choice. Please take my next points constructively, I'm an ex aircraft mechanic and was spanner man on a gen 2 S1000rr race bike from brand new until a couple of years ago. Now using the new blade. So I know tools and I know your bike inside out.
Get out of the habit of double torquing. One click is all you need. The 2nd click is over torquing. The few degrees beyond the click is over tightening too. I'd knock those bad habits outta ya on day 1 in my hanger. It stretches bolts and is just bad mechanical practice. Yup you see it on loads of TH-cam videos... but it is bad technique. Quit it. Period!
It's easier to whip the rear brake caliper out. It's also easier to make something to hold the front calipers out of harm's way, to avoid scratching pretty rims. I used lock wire or cable ties. Loop a couple together and hang from the clip ons or the indicators. Just to loosely keep them out of your work space and avoid chipping paint or scratches.
Appreciate the advice. Thank you!
@@HeroRR when I ever touch a special bike like a clean HP4, you see me be extra careful. Rags used to protect everything. Little touches to protect finishes and fasteners. I treat the bikes I own or work on like a jet worth crazy millions. I like the attention to detail I see you take on your stuff too, glad you appreciate a little polite constructive criticism from an older experienced dude. It's how ya learn. Keep it up!😎🤓👌👏👏👏
Hi! Where did you buy your headlights?
Sheesh~ Me lovin', yes
The upgrades look great. Just a FYI though, it's not "Motard"...... and you you use WAY WAY too much Loctite (rear spools).
The OEM look is much better, but could you explain why the front axle sliders are a bad idea?
Cheers
To each their own. Front axle sliders can catch on uneven surfaces of the road during a slide and can possibly cause a flip.
@@HeroRR cheers!
I don´t like bmw bikes but this one is rly nice and fast :D
Bonjour,
Où peut-on acheter le kit pour les feux led?
Merci.
So LED headlights are OEM on the HP4? Didn’t know that. If not I’m confused bc he specifically said on multiple occasions that this bike is going back to OEM specs. 🤔
There will always be some exceptions for both practicality and safety. LED headlights are way more practical and safer to ride with at night and in general.
Not completely OEM. Lol but mostly oem with some nice touches. :)
Can you please explain in detail why frame sliders are bad.
Bikes are designed to slide. Sliders stick out and can catch on the uneven surfaces of the road. When that happens it can turn a slide into a violent flip. Which will cause much more damage.
also all the force will be transferred to whatever is on the end of the sliders like frames and cause more damage
@@kindajal Bingo, I’ve seen plenty of bikes come into the shop with dented and cracked frames and get totaled out due to terribly designed “sliders”.
@@HeroRR ah, ok, I thought you were just talking about axel sliders in the video, not sliders in general. Although the way my bike went down a couple days ago a good set of frame sliders would have prevented 99% of the damage the bike did get. Broke my heart when I turned around and saw it on the ground. She continued idling for about 5 more seconds and then shut off and automatically turned the flashers on. Makes me sick even thinking about it, I've taken such good care of her.
@@HeroRR thanks for the information man 🙏🏻
- No sarcasm here - how can the axil sliders do more harm then good ??
P.a .. you’ve a great voice .. for whatever reason I like hearing you talk - ha
Thanks. Lol they can catch on uneven road surfaces and turn a slide into a high side flip.
Why didn't you lube the front axle when you put it back in ?
I did. Just off camera. Lube and cameras sometimes don’t mix.
Not gonna lie was expecting a little burn on the old tire before removing 😁
You should do track content.
Hi. I wanted to buy a 2004 CBR 1000RR but a couple of motorcyclists told me not to take that bike. The transmission breaks down and consumes engine oil. Do you know anything about that model?
I don’t know much sorry. I’d ask the forum if you can. They’d know.
@@HeroRR Which forum do you recommend? I'm from Serbia, so I don't know many foreign forums
That winglet type mirrors made me cringe hard thank you for getting rid of em cheers 😀
👌
What u think about gixxer 750r 2009-2012 ?
Cool bike!
Could You further explain WHY IS IT SPECIFICALLY........that You do not care for Axle-sliders? I'm sure there's MANY VIEWERS watching,that are wondering "WHY" regarding that!!! Thank You. Btw,LOVE the new levers man! NICE!!! :>)
It takes what could be a scraped up fairing and turns it into what could be a bent frame.
um...I'm sure you can get huge money for the beautiful factory pulls...imo
you want weird...my highlifter ft brake is on the left....yup.
How u affording these bikes? Am scrapimg money to even be able to buy my dream honda a '05 fireblade.... and they aren considerd cheap by now
Front calibers alignment wasnt done properly. Brake pads might be in touch with discs and dont run freely.
What sequence should I have done?
@@HeroRR th-cam.com/video/ivt7EPe0jeY/w-d-xo.html
That video is nice info
those fucking bicep tho XD
Those levers look nice and all but if there almost $300 like you said you're mostly paying for that bmw brand
Maybe I missed it, but you're going to aim the headlights, right? That beam pattern is super fucked.
I don’t believe I can. It looks better in person. Albeit not as much coverage as oem but that’s rather typical of LED lights.
@@HeroRR maybe its the angle or camera or something, but it shouldn't be two separate beams. The high beam should have at least some overlap with the low beam. I'd find out for sure if there's any adjustment, because that doesn't look right to me. Maybe bimmer does things different, though.
@@HeroRR I'm not sure if the kit from the reseller you bought these from comes with instructions or not, but what many people don't know when they buy this specific kit and the ones for the S1000 platform, is that you're supposed to use washers to adjust beam angle, at the headlight mounting points.
There is no other adjustment. If you want to correct the angle you're gonna have to take the fairing off again.
My hp4 is still new only 3k miles
3 million bolts to change a headlight! jeez! that's why love nakeds.... xD
the number one feel of a bike is its tires...js
well that and the stretch...the axle location...the handle bar width...the height...oh never mind
You buy your new engine yet
That’s for the HP4 race and that bike is not street legal. This is the S1000RR HP4. Different bike.
brooo please send me the old ones, mine are cracked i swear 😂
Still confused on why s1000rr's have asymmetric head lamps
Yes things that save your swing arm and etc do more harm than good 🤦🏻♂️
wait, your 10mm wasn't lost...
Modding 1000? Must be expert rider if you have true need for modded 1000.
If you want t start doing track days . Just buy an f4i save your self from the stugel
F4i is a nice bike.
I think michellins are overrated, u cudve also gone with continental or Bridgestone. Just an opinion
Not quite there on front wheel re-install....loads of mistakes ...instead of explaining, check out this Dave Moss' video link...... th-cam.com/video/DYHV78tWs1c/w-d-xo.html Never been totally impressed by the mighty BMW..test rode a few back in 2010, then again 2014..almost purchased the gen 1 version ...but ended up having Fast by Ferracci install a 102mm BCM overbore kit in my Duc 999 w/ Pistal HC pistons, do some port work, lighten up the primary gear, flywheel, add Corse performance cams ...not 180 rwhp..but 149/86 ft lbs was fine as the BMW handling paled in comparo to my Duc999...wasn't even close. First time using a quick shifter on the Beemer, balky at low rpm, but above 5K your a WSBK racer replete w/ ignition cut-off 'pop' !!! Anyway, the BMW had no mid range...all up top but holy cow was it a vicious machine WOT... Another well done video RR
Interesting. Although in the bmw service manual it didn’t mention anything about torquing in that sequence. Always nice to learn more. Thanks for sharing
You spent $10k on a piece of shit ancient Ducati lawnmower just to be shat on by anything from a K5 gsxr1000 to a mk1 RSV4😂😂
Stock lights were waaaaaaaay better
3 years ago u said u would never get a 1000cc bike
First time on your channel s1krr is dream been ever since it was launched in 2009 but the headlights the reason I sub to your never liked the halo headlights. BMW is cheap and low for not giving customers standard from day one
LOL got rid of some "tacky" mods last video, reintroduced some this video!!! Ebay is a helluva drug
No eBay here sir.
And this is why i hate fully faired bikes.. just too much plastic
They suck to work on. But I love the looks.
@@HeroRR i love the look of every lambo ever made but i'm pretty sure i'm not gonna fit in any of them well, maybe only one (urus) despite being an avid rider who goes on thousand miles long tours every week, i still don't think race bikes don't belong on the streets
actual first
actually i was first
Who cares
@@friedrichvonsnatch3501 i was joking..
First
