corrections.... there are a FEW different companies that will flash the ECU...EX: BrenTune and Alpha Racing.. and sending in the ECU is a common thing amongst sport bikes... or you can get a flash done at most motorcycle shops that have dynos... and you can get a 520 kit for the Forged Wheels....
Alpha was an example there are many more companies.. and Alpha is like the "premium" flash aimed towards racing on the tracks. I like Brentune but if I dedicated my s1000rr to the track I would use alpha racing for their parts and services
when your bmw gets hot after a quick run or 3 ... when you pull over to rest up keep your bike idling too cool radiator down or a lot of antifreeze will boil over & out cuz your engine can’t cool off if motor is off...unless park for the night . If bike is idling your fans will cool down antifreeze fluid as fluid keeps flowing thru cooling system . And always - always - always pre-trip and post your cycles , you’ll be surprised what you may find at the start or end of riding , I was !
This is pretty common place among any brand make these days. BMW just make its more pronounced in terms of saying if you modify it and something factory breaks because of your mods, you eat it. Besides, BMW's are already stupid fast and there isn't many places to let one rip beside the race track. I own a K1300s Anniversary Edition and other than removing the baffle to make it bark more, it's all stock. Stay with your Japanese if you like mods.
Ok been back from Tulsa last weekend should have tons of video but I never said I ran 8.5 but Elyes has and several others and it's a shinko hook up tire I'll find some videos look up Brocks racing channel
Another mod would be timing chain tensioner, yeah that bolt for the headers was a bitch when doing the switch to full system. The internal mad for race is a great mapping even with no mods to the bike. You might wanna change the title to the years or the year you have to let others know as to what they are look at.
Elise is the rider running 8.5 1/4 time not me I'm around 9.5 but gaining fast foor a electric fork and rear shock if u guys r looking for a dealer look the BMW dealer in kc mo
How does the throttle by wire compair to the others, for example a zx-10r? That's probably the biggest complaint I've heard come from the newest S1000's.
Daniel its amazing the how good it is I love mine its a 2017 w everything u can get has brocks slipper elimanator kit and spring kit and it's steerable w 420ft pounds of pressure on pressure plate
The drive by wire throttles were a bit of a pain on the older models upto 2014 and the HP4's that were around at that time. The 2015+ models, especially in Race or Slick/User mode, ride pretty much just like an old school throttle with a cable. Very light and easy to ride. Even in the other modes, the throttle is always crisp and responsive.
it's got cruise control heated grip in all of the nannies in the world that you could want for commuter bike these bikes are amazing being over and the tuck position for a long time can get a little much but I would do about a 160 miles on it no problem
Yes first gens is amazing and priced good and if you're looking to mod just bc of how long it's been out for you're not going to pay a lot of money to mod them and the BMW motors are bulletproof theres videos up of people running them for miles with no oil with out a problem so if it like that without oil regular maintenance should keep it around for a long time
The real question is why would you want to do a 520 conversion? You 'gain' about 1hp for a chain that isn't as resistant to dirt and gunk. That 1hp gain is for a clean chain and when I say clean, I'm talking about the internals, not the outside part that's easy to clean with a cleaner. Once the rollers on a chain get dirty then you lose more than you ever gained with the 520 and cleaning the inside of a chain isn't something you can do with just a spray. Changing chains on a bike that almost has 200hp to try and gain 1 hp is a bit like putting on lower gearing when you don't red line the bike whenever you ride it. It's just silly and a waste of cash for performance but if you want to do it to get a different look, then fine I guess. If you can ride the bike like Troy Corser when he's on a mission, then by all means try and eek that 1/10th of a second, otherwise, keep the bike stock and run it over 12,000rpm at full throttle more often. The stock regina zrp 525 chain is more than good enough.
Pritam Ghosh its a 16 and the handel bars did vibrate when you are under on 4000 RPMs but I just put a weighted bar ends on them and the vibration from the actual engine isn't really too bad
You don't buy an S1000RR to flash it...Buy something that isn't as refined if you are more interested in modding things and customizing. There are so many CPU and riding options. Why on earth would you wanna do any of that.
Mine (2016) runs peachy and I live not too far away from Hell, sorry, Sacramento where it gets as hot as hell. All modern 1000cc supersports bikes run hot. You can't produce around 200hp from a 1 liter engine and have it run cool. If your bike is running rough or overly hot then there's something else going on.
@@Swampster70 ecu flahses don’t magically make bikes run cooler either lol they turn the fan on earlier that’s about it .. but yeah this entire video i realized this guy has no idea what he’s talking about lmao
@@MADLITS1K I know that - which is why I said what I did 3 years ago. A stock S1000RR will run fine on 122F days - I know that because I've ridden in those temps. When you live in the Sacramento Valley, 100+F days are common during summer. I've ridden over Ebbetts Pass (west side from Markleeville) on a 105F day - the climb starts at 5,500ft and tops out at 8,700ft and there's lots of technical switchbacks with roads so narrow there are no center markings. Max gradients are over 15% and that's after 3 hours of riding to get there. My bike runs fine even in those very steep, 1st and 2nd gear roads where anything over 70mph is suicidal. There's not much airflow to keep the bike cool. When it gets hot up there it's just like you're standing over an oven door when you're opening it. When I get down to Hermitt's Valley I have to get off before my right ankle cooks itself inside my Alpinestars' boot. The bike at this point runs fine - my right ankle is cooked just short of needing some BBQ sauce. That said, on my bicycle I do descend the same roads in the other direction at 60mph in lycra ;) I know those roads well. If there is a God, Hwy 4 up there is his highway.
Get the Premium package and love life in Rain Mode and enjoy the clutchless shifting with the quickshifter - there'll be enough going on when you first start that not having to faff around with the clutch/throttle/gears and brakes when slowing to a stop will allow you to concentrate on 'real world issues' like not falling off or crashing into things. Rain Mode also makes it pretty much impossible to brake to hard and get the back wheel off the ground and limits the acceleration in the first couple of gears to reduce the "whooooooooooooaaaaaa fffffffff****************kkkkkkkkk" factor the first time you accidentally twist the throttle too hard. If you're new to riding, keep it in Rain Mode and keep the RPM's under 7,000 for a long time. Trust me, even if you own a Vette or something with four wheels that fairly quick, you'll be more than surprised at how fast the bike accelerates even in the 'slowest mode.' I've been riding since about the time when Moses parted the waters and I pop the bike in Rain Mode for commuting on the freeway. Find a good 2+ day course and go learn the basics. Make sure the course includes learning how to countersteer. Buy your gear (helmet, boots, jacket, gloves) or at least factor in the cost, before buying a bike, no matter what that bike is. You can fall off a little 300cc sports bike and really cause some serious injuries just riding around town.
Please do NOT get an S1000RR for your first bike. This is not a bike for beginners, start off on a smaller bike first do not be stupid. It's literally like passing your driving test and the first vehicle you get is the fastest Ferrari available... It's going to end very quickly and very badly.
So you speedo will show you reclining at 20k but that's where it tops out on the speedo the Moto can spin to 21or 23k every time that happened the ecm counts it
From what I've gathered, it's a great bike.............. I just don't like BMW. Are parts and services expensive like their effin' cars? $500 for an oil change............GTFO BMW!
It's 600 for a full service and 99% of the time it's just and oil change 😶😶 and a nothing bulk check some parts are expensive but other ones aren't too bad
Correction the Yamaha r1 is the hottest mf to ride 😂 shit like a dam oven on your nut sack iv rode majority of all bikes the r1 wins the heat challenge
stephenmwyatt2 I road my r1 for 5 hours straight besides filling up not the best bike to go on long rides but not horrible I ride on a daily long trips for work and back thru out the year long rides track etc ,
i wish they would hurry up with a new model it has been so damn long waiting :( i've waited 7 years now for a new shape :( and i'm not getting any younger - by the time they bring a new shape out i'm going to be an old man :(
Really appreciate this, never heard any of these talking points from other channels, especially the over revving
Thank you for your very informative, and eye opening update.
DRR
Very good and informative video. I have a 2014 S1000RR and I love this bike. Keep up the great work man!

@@D2Rides More options if you look in the S1000RR forum. Another person that does that is BMW_388. Brent can actually do a dyno tuning by proxy.
Thx appreciate solid information looking buy 2011 bmws1000rr

plus I'm still learning my bike and I'm only at 9.6 on mine w a pcv and slipper clutch elemanator
The lack of dive under braking is the DDC not the ABS 😂

Socal_S1KRR I agree on the bolt 😆
Companies make kits to do 520 chain conversions with the hp forged wheels
What's the purpose of this 520 chain? Speed, hp? This a Street racer THING? I mean ALREADY 192 hp......520 chain?????
Great info man I'm between S1000rr, New Blade, New GSXR and MT10. the electric suspension on S1000RR is worrying from a maintenance point of view
The Incredible Sulk I have a 17 w electric and it is no more than a non electric bike
I believe that was an option... some S1k don’t have it
Elise is the rider running 8.5 1/4 time not me I'm around 9.5 but gaining fast foor a electric fork and rear shock if u guys r looking for a dealer look the BMW dealer in kc mo
Thnx boy👍
And the module plug under the pillion is for trouble shooting and maintenance 😂
hey thanks man!
Welcome
.... its a s1000 its made to be ran at higher rpm... over revving wont hurt it unless it had less than 6 thousand miles
Hey man, hope you're doing good. I have the possibility to get a S1000RR, but I'm only 20. How old are you? Am I too young, should I wait a few years?
I'm 21 the best thing to do is just to ride with in your limits get to know the bike bf you go crazy

Thank You
Im looking to buy a leaderbike but im not sure, im stuck between the 2012 S1000RR, 2010 S1000RR M spec, or a 2017 GSXR 1k
That's a had chose all 3 are bad ass bikes
Leader bike 😂😂😂 bruh it’s a liter bike. One liter of displacement 1000cc
From a squid point of view it should be called!
Wrong at time 8:03 .... rebound is forks coming up , not going down like what you said.
Thank you I did get it wrong
Won't it just hit the rev limiter?
Im buying a 16 bmw tomorrow and it has hot wheels with 520 chain..
Sim Simma who's got the keys to ma beemer ?
sphinxsway “you remind me of my jeep”
Hello ,
I think to buy BMW s1000rr first gen ! Why do you think about it ? Is it worst ?
Yes first gens is amazing and priced good and if you're looking to mod just bc of how long it's been out for you're not going to pay a lot of money to mod them and the BMW motors are bulletproof theres videos up of people running them for miles with no oil with out a problem so if it like that without oil regular maintenance should keep it around for a long time
Does s1000rr heat up more than 2012 yamaha r1 or has a battery issue ?
No it doesn'tbut when the fans kick on at throws all that heat right at your ankles so I suggest either like high tops or very long socks lol
I run a 2017 these bike w a swing arm clutch kit and lower can run 8.50 in quarter mile w a bad ass rider I can't run that yet lol but 9's r good w me
no, an 8.50 is not even close to possible with a regular road tire
stephenmwyatt2 it's w a hook up shinko
You could easily win every weekend, so why not put up a video?
how about a simple picture with that tire?
I'll be in tulsa PMRA race this weekend and get the bmw running 8's loaded I should be in mid 9's
Just got one of these suckers never loved a bike like i do now
this dude sounds like he has his helmet on :D
Ringo Bingo stfu
@@MADLITS1K ... stfu
It's a shinko hook up tire
Which track do you go to?
Moto Marmot. I was going to Virginia International Raceway but it texas its circuits of America
3:02 looks like the slider saved you from a huge bill
Yeah 😒 I got cut off In a turn when I lived in Houston and like 5mph when down but not hurt to bad
D2 Rides That shit is the worst. Same thing happened to my R6, only time I ever dropped her.
Why can't you put a 520 chain on it I've never heard of that before
FastLuck BC there foraged wheels and I've looked at the venders the shop had and call around and no one back a 520 rear yet

FastLuck. What company did you go with Cruz I still want to do it
s1k delinquent supersprox
have you ridden the 20100 bmw s1000rr
Yes I have
Which model is it? 2015? How are the engine vibrations of this thing as compared to Japanese liter bikes?
Pritam Ghosh its a 16 and the handel bars did vibrate when you are under on 4000 RPMs but I just put a weighted bar ends on them and the vibration from the actual engine isn't really too bad
s1k delinquent Yeah but what about if you compare the vibrations to Japanese like cbr fireblade
Pritam Ghosh its about the same
s1k delinquent Thanks man!
I actually heard that Japanese are much smoother
Is it just me or do the break lights look like devil horns? My favourite bike but I can't shake that off.
