- After helping out what seems like 100s of riders with their User Mode settings on the BMW S1000RR, I thought it about time I did a video to show people how to use it effectively.
To help out, you can click on this link and download a matrix of all of the rider modes and associated function settings. I think you'll find it super useful.

A year ago I got a 2017 BMW S1000RR, your videos are the best I have found and I have seen "EVERYTHING" that could be found searching for our motorcycle model.
I don't understand that with the quality with which you explain you don't have tens of thousands of people who follow you.
Good job, I really like your videos.
hey cheers mate, thanks for the comments. I never worry about likes and subscriptions much, just happy to share info, and practice my video editing for my other businesses. Have fun.
Great info, you just provided a great public service, thanks from the USA.
haha, you're welcome mate
Great video! Just purchased a 2016 BMW S1000RR and I really needed some help with this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Best video I've seen!
cheers mate, you are more than welcome.
I've had my bike since 2017 and have done lots of trackdays only on race. This video has shown me that I need to set user 1 for road and a user 2 for track to suit me. Brilliant video!! Cheers mate.
cheers Gary, thanks for watching mate
Race keeps wheel down?
Thanks a lot for the PDF and your video, helped a lot!
my pleasure mate, thanks for watching
Thank your for the vid, very helpful!! I wasnt understanding nothing untill i check your matrix
awesome, enjoy
Great video mate, really helpful! I believe my bikes been stuck in rain mode and thanks to you I've changed the settings to get the full performance of this awesome 17 s1000rr model I have. I thought my bike was a dud knowing how powerful these bmws are. Cheers
Glad I could help mate, have fun with that beast :-)
" It also makes race bikes shoot
flames out of the exhaust on throttle off..." Now I want it!
haha, you rev head .... I'm with you
Love this guy! Great info on s1000rr 👍
cheers mate
Excellent teacher!
thank you very much, appreciate the comment
Cheers. Maybe Launch control, lap timer, pit limiter guides on another video.
ok, was on the plan so might do one today on where to find everything and set them up, cheers
there's a launch control video in the BMW S1000RR playlist, check it out
Slick life
yessireee
for learning wheelies, what setup you will choose to prevent to much angle or prevent flip back?
I’m wondering the same thing
Setup I use is a precisely tuned wrist 😉
Just get to the balance point and Bob's your uncle at 170kays
download the sheet from the video notes and it will show you how settings affect anti wheelie. Personally I choose mode based on traction control needs for whatever situation I am riding in rather than wheelie control. Your goals and mine are obviously a bit different as I am not a wheelie guy, so id recommend you listen to the Wheelie pros on settings. I did notice some sensible comments here in reply to your question.
Great video!! Thks
cheers mate, hope it was useful
Excellent tips thanks so much!
You're welcome mate
Great & helpful vid 👍🏾, and just put you in the 200 category with that LIKE
haha, thanks mate
Great video!
Since you selected slick for ABS(no abs on rear wheel), will it let you pop Wheelie?
You are the real mvp
That download info is excellent
cheers mate, glad you used it
wow perfect and very helpful ! thank you very much
Hey no worries, glad you got something out of it mate
Thanks for the easy explanation I’d recently adjusted the abs in user mode and felt the back wheel slide a bit more than usual so I’ll change that, great info.
Like to be able to adjust the user mode for wheelies.
Slick mode lets you wheelie :-)
The Bike Stig is that wirh abs and traction control being turned off completely?
Hi, since I use the bike on the track, I still haven't figured out if the anti wheelie also works with slick and user maps. In practice, the bike on standard maps bounces while in the slick or user map the bike floats and does not bounce. But I don't understand if it's an electronic intervention or not. Thanks
Thanks mate you are great! I notice that in every mode you are able to adjust the DDC settings and even it stores them. When you switch throgh the modes you can adjust them individually. So can you double check and modify it in your document?
hey mate, that's correct, and yep I'll do as suggested, it's a good point.
Can you tell me what settings you recommend for a beginner on my first track day? Thank you
download the worksheet from the show notes mate, it will give you an idea of what you can do with user mode. Personally I think if it's your first time then put it in Race mode and go with that, can't go far wrong.
Really useful info!
youre welcome mate, thanks for watching
Awesome video!
cheers mate
Legend
cheers mate
Good video thx for help and one more question..race at start in slick mod, no problem with that Wheelie control off
You can try starting with launch control if wheelies are a concern. Starting in slick mode without launch control just means you have to manually manage it with throttle and clutch release. There's a video on this channel about launch control if you aren't sure how to use it.
Top video! Like !
So helpful thx! How can I switch off the wheelie control?
download the pdf file from the episode notes, in there you will find some guidelines to how to do that, have fun
Hello sir , my bmw s1000rr 2011 can’t change the mode to sport or race . It’s stuck only rain mode , how can I fix it ,any idea sir!
mate I wish I could help you but I actually don't know. I'd be taking that straight to the BMW dealership or someone who can diagnose the electronics
outstanding,!
cheers mate
Hey boss just wanted to ask mine is 2013 I don’t have user mode so do I stay to slick or sport mode?
Depends on what you are doing mate. I am not exactly sure of the details, but the main difference will be in how much intervention you get from the traction control. In slick mode you will be able to be more aggressive on the throttle at higher lean angles hence the term "slick mode" .. it was set up for slicks on track. To be honest, sport mode in my experience will do everything you need for street riding and give you that intervention you might need.
does riding mode pro needed to be specced from dealer on order?
Can a bike that wasnt just have the plug fitted and work?
I know that the plug comes standard with the bikes but is not fitted. I also know that the plug is not specific to the bike it comes with .... so if you get a bike secondhand and the plug was not provided with it, a plug can be put into it and it will expand options to Slick and User mode. Check with the dealer and see what they say about your model bike.
Thank you Soo much
Cheers mate, hope this helped out
Hi I added the slick plug and nothing happened? It says everywhere that its plug and play and i got one from the dealer but its not showing user or slick when i start up?
Sorry for slow response mate, I am not sure about why that happens, I'd be going straight back to the dealer.
Mate how do you reset the milage after a ride thanks
reset the trip meter mate, some info is here - www.manualslib.com/manual/1105203/Bmw-S-1000rr.html?page=38
is there a way to have just the throttle response of rain mode and not the torque curve of it?
No mate, download the sheet in the video notes and it will show you all of the settings available to you.
I'd like to adjust my settings but keep anti wheelie enabled. If I select USER mode and put the DTC in RACE, does that mean my anti wheelie is still enabled? I know that SPORT is maximum anti wheelie, and RACE is moderate anti wheelie. Thanks
sorry for slow response mate, download the sheet from the video page notes and it will tell you how each affects anti wheelie
good info! Do you know where I can find one of those pages for my 2104 HP4?? Thanks!
Sorry mate, no idea, wish I could help
Why would you choose to disable ABS on the rear wheel for street use?
Cant think of a good reason
@@TheBikeStig But you said 'What I believe to be the most efficient settings for the road' and then selected Slick for ABS
@@MrBacardi72 fair point, I did say that, my personal preference is slick ABS which I prefer because of the late front wheel intervention (a carry over from my track preferences), it turns back ABS off which isn't an issue as I don't use rear brake at all if I'm pushing it. I know you kind of want to pin me down here but this is my personal preference ... maybe I shouldn't have used the word "efficient". And I do appreciate the questions mate, cheers
@@TheBikeStig I wasn't trying to pin you down. I was just wondering if there was a good reason for this. Thanks for the answers 👍
@@MrBacardi72 all good mate. You'll find most good track riders will turn off ABS completely on the track as it's a pain in the butt when it activates, it releases the brake and makes it hard to stop so we'd rather control lock up with the lever ourselves (front and rear). But as an intervention on the road, it's a great tool. For me on the road I love ABS in the wet, but for the dry I do not like the rear end ABS, I'd much rather get a lock up and control it than the bike intervening. Hope this lockdown isn't slowing your riding down as much as mine, perfect weather out there but we can't ride for a while unfortunately.
i have BMW s1000rr 2018 max speed 270km why??
Launch control only available in slick and user? So is there anything preventing you from flipping backwards on launch?
Launch control was designed to control how much power you have on launch for first two gears, wheelie control is active. Without launch control you have no wheelie control in slick and user mode when DTC is set to slick. You should download the PDF file that is linked in the video description, it explains all of the settings.
@@TheBikeStig I did. That is the only part I was confused about. Thank you for your videos and all the work you do to make this easier on us!
@@bluegixxer1k Cheers Daniel ... stay safe during these crappy times too
Would love to know the best user settings for wheelies Is it possible ?????or is it just stick in slick mode .
I am not a wheelie guy mate, love power wheelies on track but doing straight wheelies is not my skill set. I'd be asking the pros that question though I do know the lower mode settings are helpful for wheelies (i.e.rain and sport). I'd assume a pro wheelie person would put it in slick mode and get rid of wheelie control.
I from Brazil. how I set the user mode, turning everything off (abs / dtc), but activating anti welling.
Hi Diego, you basically choose the MODE you want and front wheel lift detection is on in rain, sport and race, but turned off in slick mode or in user mode when you've set it up with SLICK DTC setting. Turning off ABS and DTC is done separately via the switch on the left handlebar.
The Bike Stig I'm sorry, maybe I didn't know how to ask correctly. I want to choose the level of the dtc, in which the rain, sport and race modules do not allow. In the user module, how do I configure to be able to control the dtc and leave anti welling enabled? would be: user-ingicao rain?
@Gsxr b Thanks for explane me! my is early ‘16 and like you say it’s obvious my haven’t. Can it be updated at the official service?
Not sure what you mean with the question though it would be very unusual for anyone to change your user settings where you get the service without you being present. They'd probably do it if you told them exactly what you wanted though I'd prefer to do it myself.
The Bike Stig I just want know if anyone was have same doubt is it possible on the my bike just ECU software update and does fit my ABS unit for update
Hello, pls. explane me whay at my s1000rr 2016 don’t show ABS PRO after turn on key ignition is it factory upgrade? or what? I’ve Dynamyc pro. have codding plug under front seat, Launch Control, lap timer, pit limitator... everything show in this clip on set up menu at cluster!? Regards.
ABS Pro doesn't actually show. What you'll get with the coding plug fitted is the additional setting options that come with SLICK mode which you can simply run as they are or can adjust in USER mode. Download the PDF file which is linked in the comments section of this video and it will tell you what you'll actually see and be able to adjust.
The Bike Stig
Thanks for the explanation. Regards.
fest102 if it doesn’t show you don’t have abs pro. 2015 and some early 2016 didn’t come with abs pro mid 2016 it came standard
@@ur2slob724 thanks for that, wasnt aware of that
The Bike Stig too easy mate
Another way to check if you have abs pro is do a vin decoder online
Is this chip can be used in 2017/2018 s1000rr????
The bike comes with the chip standard here in Australia and USA for all models, it's not fitted as they let the owner do that when you buy the bike new.
Are these settings applicable for the 2012 model?
Im not sure mate, my suspicion is that the 2012 to 2014 models did not come with user mode, only the other 4 modes. You'd have to check that. I do know they made a big shift with the 2015 model and added electronics.
do the user mode exist on the 2011 version ?
Hi I have a 2016 s1000rr my first bike I’m completely new to the electronics on bikes I’m bit struggling to do the settings if anyone could pls help. PS looking for road setting as I like to ride aggressively in corners. Thanks
👍
what does the max mean on the front screen ov just brought this bike and know nothing lol
that 'max' area will have a number on the left and number on the right ... they are degrees of lean angle both sides. that's it ... if it hits 70 you are in trouble 🙂
@@TheBikeStig iv never got my knee down yet what number should I need to see to get it down roughly I'm 6ft tall
@@marcculliford9022 I have no idea mate, truth is different people have their knee down at different lean angles, it all depends on body position and what you do with your legs. One of the fastest riders I know in Australia hardly ever gets his knee down ... still wins ASBK races. I know that didn't help but that's the reality.
I have 2015 model. Is ABS pro a software update or hardware
I'm not sure about that, you'd have to talk to a BMW representative, I know it was possible on a KTM 1190 Adventure to install the ABS Pro with an update so I am guessing its possible on a BMW ...
Software $1000 from bmw
@@ur2slob724 1000 thats crazy for software only. Are you in US or Australia
@@optony9606 aus, ring your dealer they will be able to tell you..
Abs pro is a waste of time anyway who the F will yank the front brakes mid corner 😂
@@ur2slob724 Its true you shouldnt but i think its for an emergancy like in a roundabout if someone pulls out
for learning wheelies, what setup you will choose to prevent to much angle or prevent flip back?
Race-Mode, because that that allows you to do wheelies up to (I think) 30 degrees. In Sport-Mode it tries to prevent wheelies completely and in Slick-Mode the wheelie control is off
Turborider in race mode, wheelie is going much higher. Was thinkin tonplay with dtc -7+... lot people said the bike got wheelie control but cant find in the menu...
@@tonysony76 It does have wheelie control but as far is I know you can't turn it on or off seperatly in the menu. Though this is all pretty well described in the owners manual
@@tonysony76 To be fair, I haven't figured most of the user mode stuff out yet either lol
Sorry for slow response .. sport or race will provide more intervention than slick ... we run slick on the track and it's full wheelies.
