They won’t hear you coming if you have a loud exhaust. That’s a huge misconception of bikers. They’ll hear you pass, but that’s about it. Never ride as if it’s the cars responsibility to hear or see you. Neither one will ever be true.
Just a little hack that my friends and I did on new tires.... we took a piece of fine grit sandpaper and lightly scrubbed the tire, by hand, all over to help scuff them. Love the content!! Can't wait to hear the exhaust
SLR Tune here, on a '23. Give it some thought. Call the SLR people directly. Ask lots of questions. You'll be surprised to hear how things differ, are similar, affect warranty, your wallet, etc. Full disclosure: I didn't choose SLR, it came with the bike.
BT Moto has a GREAT video on breaking them in.....running it in 6th and allowing engine breaking...with the M it has 1 less ring (its a 2 ring piston vice 3) its especially important to seat them properly. I was religious about breaking my M1000RR in via his method. BMW actually changed their 1st service requirement where you can unlock it anywhere between 350 - 620... I usually break mine in the same way you do, but with the limiter in place and then on top of that, the throttle restriction that BMW has in place even after, its hard to break in the usual way I have in the past. I am worried about the M motor as the reason that Motomillions blew up had ZERO to do with the tune or breakin (you can see Zac in one of 650s videos where the connecting rod was loose)....same with Cali Moto...his was a bearing failure I believe. The other thing is I am seeing TONS of guys saying thier warranty is being denied due to tune being on the bike....they are simply being denied because they have had multiple tunes (BMWBRO is a channel I have watched for a while). I am at 480 miles on mine John...😛...truly hoping too knock it out 4th of July weekend. I am so over the top in love with mine after all these years on the Harleys.....UNBELIEVABLE how technology advanced they are compared to HD. Its INSANE how quick they are even limited. You corrupted me into making a quick YT video and posting it!! LOLZ
Hi Fastrak. Ive just bought the same bike in the UK and want to Rizoma edge mirrors like yours. It’s a universal kit that Rizoma supply and I’m wondering if they were easy to fit to the S1000RR? Thanks
Bro, keep your mirrors on. It STILL looks cool. But more importantly, it's safer to have mirrors! Your call bro 👊🏾. Congratulations on a nice 👌🏾 scooter, sir. 🥳
I hit the rev limiter on one pull yesterday… the light stayed blinking so long after the first redline I got nervous… kept going… but still nervous…. It’s hard to break this thing in without breaking the law….
I've lusted after that thing since California superbike school switched to them. That was over 15 years ago. I still drool over the thing. Are they as much of thing now as they were then? I already have a '06 R1 and a '23 FXLRS. I suppose I should be satisfied but that machine intrigues me. Maybe I should just rent one if I can. Reliability? The cars of BMW TBH are not reliable...they're fast but not at all reliable. Are the motorcycles different?
@@cyclefanatixsport I trust that enough. Maybe we can swap rides when you're in Laconia again. I have some decent rides to share. I don't mind sharing motorcycles especially when they're of ~equal value and I know who's riding it. That is another problem...too many motorcycles to care for. On we go though for the fun of it.
Context: I'm 56 y/o and in decent shape....No physical issues to prevent me from riding a S1000RR...in fact I want to. But I think having 3 motorcycles is a bit of a pain. I love my R1 and the FXLRS. I'm also nit picky insofar as caring for the things. Another horse in my stable might be too much.
I did not no about the tires I had the sk1 I traded in up and got the MK 1 compitiition The back tire kept sliding away I am know trying to scribe the tire know by riding fthe bike in. Circles and lean as much as I can to break in the tires
Great Bike, and Video. I did the same thing during the break in process. I have the same 2024 S1k in Red with a lot of bells and whistles that I just picked up in April. It rides like a 600 until you get it unlocked and get past the 8000-rpm limit. Then need a tune as there is no power until you get past that point. I just got the Arrow Full titanium and got the BT tune at 1,100 miles on the bike now. mods are never ending! ha
After you get it tuned, can you take it to your buddy's place and dyno it? Maybe even look into using Woolich software to tune it on his dyno? That would be interesting to see, it's not very common on TH-cam to see the Woolich software used. A good walk-through, like you have done in the past on the Harleys, would be well received by the community I believe. P.S. In the manual, it states to stay below 7,000rpm for the first 186 miles (page 133). They want back road miles not highway (avoid riding long periods at a constant speed) miles also, don't hate me lol

Appreciate the video. I’m about to get my first 1000 (Duc). You put a ton of valuable information in the vid 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥. Thanks!

Yeah, definitely I’m going to get the rizoma stealth mirrors
@@cyclefanatixsport -👍🏽

Haha absolutely
I just hit my breakin target - at 1000 kms (600 miles) from this past weekend. My first service is booked for july 18
Sweet 👊👍
BT moto tune will be a good convo starter at the service department

With only 15 miles Sounds like the ultimate test of patience! 😅 Any tips for not going crazy during the break-in period? 😂 #NewBikeFeels
Haha you really can’t go too crazy because it has a limiter at 8000 RPM until 620 miles
I did not no about the tires
I had the sk1
I traded in up and got the MK 1 compitiition
The back tire kept sliding away
I am know trying to scribe the tire know by riding fthe bike in. Circles and lean as much as I can to break in the tires
Nice 👍
Is it possible by any chance to keep the warranty after tuning the bike and putting akrapovic headers? Ride safe from Switzerland
Unfortunately, I don’t believe so
how did the ddc suspension feel on thos bumpy roads?
The electronic suspension is fantastic
I am looking at. 1000RZ ..maybe1000cbr..rrbut this bike iz. Sick. 😮 same price. Few $$$ to flash n exhaust to spare...MY Last BIKE was a kz900
