Power Boost on the BMW S1000XR

- Took the bike in for her first service at 1000km, had the rev limiter restriction removed and installed the power boost dongle! The power difference is amazing, wasn't expecting it to be as much as it was. The dongle doesn't only free up the last riding mode (Dynamic Pro) but gives you more power throughout all riding modes.

there is no power boost, there is no noise boost, that is the placebo effect, ....the pro mode only shortens the throotle moovement radius and turns off the aids. :)
Here in Australia the XR comes standard with 2 modes - Road and Rain . The Dynamic and Dynamic Pro are an option everyone takes (for more money , of course) . These do not give more power per se , but feel like it because they deliver it more quickly . I think it needs less throttle rotation , respectively , to get the same power as you move the mode up to the next mode .The 9,000 rpm limiter is for running in purposes but if you've been using Road mode and then have the limiter removed together with selecting Dynamic Pro , well , then its going to feel real fast . The modes also affect stability control (or Dynamic Traction control , if optioned ) and ABS matching their performance to the mode selected .
its the same here
I forgot to mention that rain mode does reduce power and torque . The other three modes affect the delivery character , not the quantity .
Okej. But i have ridden sportsbikes for almost 40 years. Mostly Italian and not much commuting, only like 5000-9000 km a year average total riding. In Sweden in 2018 there was 2 accidents I know all details about. One was a midage woman on a new Honda Cruiser. 10 other people stopped at a T-crossing at a full stop. There was a little sand and gravel on the street and that made her bike take 3 m more to a full stop than old Harleys and other slow underbraked bikes.. She stopped in the middle of a main road. The approaching Scania could not stop in time...
The other was also a girl rider. I knew her quite well. We were both members of two clubs for trackday interested bikers. She was faster, younger and spent more money on bikes than I do. Riding with fast friends entering a nice road, after leaving a village she showed off her new bike and made a nice power-wheelie. No one knows what then happened, BMW and Swedish authorities are still investigating, but for no reason, and witnesses swearing that no break light was on, her front wheel locked up. On a short racy bike like hers that made a stoppie so bad that nobody could count the degrees.... She is alive but severely injured.
I had a BMW R1150R for commuting and a little traveling. (Most of the traveling and holidays happened to be with my Benelli Tornado 900 RS instead) . The Nellie is not so comfy, but more fun when you find an alp or a trackday in Germany or Austria). The BMW roadster though was a likable bike. When I bought it cheap there were a few issues. It run too lean, the now known dangerous brakes (ABS 2 Evolution system) and a too soft setup on the strange parallelogram forks. A tuning chip, a sports air filter , some Pro-Brake lines, throwing away the expensive, complicated electronic and hydraulic system , and some elbow grease fixed that. After this mod's I still could not live with this bike. The annoying problem with the ABS system failing it's own self diagnosis disappeared but my confidence in the bike had disappeared. Only twice, but that is more than enough, the brakes went into "ABS-failure rest braking". In reality that meant braking so hard as you could with the front brake gave a 1 till 2 seconds delay and then very little brakes anyway. One of these times was on German Autobahn in high speed. The German drivers discipline ,staying in line, saved my life..!
The new owner, who I met on a bike security training day last autumn, is very satisfied with his bike. He also has two friends, with BMW'S , who wants their Abs-systems removed. And they are not trackday riders, they just don't trust the electronic mumbo jumbo!
Take care out there, and don't trust a computer to care for you. By the way, how often did you have to restart your phone, computer or laptop the last year........ And they can fail without being really dangerous to you or your company.
Regards and no offense taken,
Rolf
Congratulations, sweet machine!!!
thanks👍
I ride 99% of the time with the riding aids turned up to keep things tame... on the ducati they're easy to adjust and I have touring set for "keep things under control" and sport mode set for "not quite stupid". I have to change sport mode through the menus if I want to shut everything off. These bikes are a handful without traction and wheelie control enabled -and if you make the mistake of forgetting you've turned them off then woe is you the next time you pull away from a stop (personal experience, things got a bit hairy).
David Kuhn
they are definitely a handful at times, but I like a good hand full
Just got my 2018 xr1000 . Can't wait till the restriction is remove
Congrats my friend, let me know how you get on with it😜
@@thelikeablerider8800 holy shit this is a superbike . I took it in the freeway and test the power hahaha..
I want to thank you for your amazing video... I test rode the XR today and paid deposit ;)
small question should i go with the higher trim level or the basic one is enough? i think the difference mainly is in the ESA suspension and navigation
Dynamic pro mode bedeutet auch mehr power? Was verändert sich dann alles? Es geht ja nur um den kleinen Stick der eingesteckt wurde oder?
This is so weird, me living in Ireland, watching some dude from the UK driving through my home town/area in Germany and shopping at my old Motorbike dealership. Although I bough my bike when they still used the old building next door, the new one was still in construction.
small world! the new shop is really nice too😜
where did you live?
Bad Oeynhausen. I still come back to visit friends and family about once every 18 month.

cool👍
Very Nice video! I like the humor in it! I have the same bike whith the dynamic pro as well. Very powerfull!. What tankbag do you have? It doesnt look original BMW is that correct? Does iT fit well?
fits very well! it's from

"The dongle doesn't only free up the last riding mode (Dynamic Pro) but gives you more power throughout all riding modes." yes, but only on restricted bikes. Normal bikes have no limit on them, so the Dynamic Pro plug only enables the Dynamic Pro feature. No change to the others.
I have an abnormal bike? Normal bikes aren't restricted?
I said on restricted bikes. There are several scenarios when a bike may be restricted (certain countries, age restrictions, etc.) Your bike had the restriction lifted after the first service as its a normal (read "regular") bike. Nothing to do with the dongle. Had your bike been a restricted model generally, the dongle would then release the extra horsepower. By the way the Dynamic Pro should only be used when riding on a track (not public roads). Enjoy the bike. Loving your videos :-)
Pretty sure I mentioned all of that, but thanks
+TheLikeableRider You actually said "had the rev limiter restriction removed and installed the power boost dongle! " Dynamic Pro is not a power boost dongle. You get the same power as Dynamic mode, it just tones down the ABS, DTC, etc. so the bike is less safe to ride... hence the track use.

I'm getting the itch for an S1000XR.... again. Rode one last year and loved how it accelerated but doubted I had the required self-control. :)
+jakeizlove
Yes it's always tempting to always ride it like you stole it! Lol do it....get one

Love my R9T but think the S100XR is probably a little better in the rain. Also, it's probably more comfortable on longer rides, especially for the passenger. Around the 80 mile mark the R9T kills my lower back.
+jakeizlove
Lovely bike the RnineT, I've been thinking of getting that eventually as a second bike, that or the scrambler. Not exactly mile crunchers, more just for buggering about on. You'll do fine on the XR, let me know when you've ordered it lol
It's a fun bike. Very mechanical feeling, in comparison to the S1000XR. Doesn't have any rider aids aside from ABS.
Suspension needed upgrading, though.
I'm being financially responsible and not test riding one again, LOL! I know getting that thing on the open highway will lead to gross irresponsibility.
HI THERE AWSMMMMMMMM VIDEO....WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY HEAT ISSUES IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC....GREETINGS FROM INDIA...I RIDE TIGER XRX..THANKS IN ADVANCE
Apurva Agnihotri
she does run hot, but I don't find it annoying but definitely notice heat from under the tank
THANKS A TON ...RIDE SAFE ..
Just had the 1st service on my s1kr today. They didn't install the stick so I did it myself when I got home. Haven't been on it to test it out. Kinda scared. Lol
Yeah they won't do it for you, as it says in the hand book that it's not road legal. To be done at your own risk! it's a lot of fun, but needs to be used in good warm dry weather I'd say, otherwise you maybe in the hedge lol
But in your case, did the BMW dealer plugged it for you, did i understand well?
And the conversation below with Antonio, got me a bit confused. Basically you both say the same thing i believe, from different angle.
Anyways, i test drove the bike my self couple of weeks ago, and im convinced, what a great machine.
And i didnt notice any vibrations by the way, at least not enough to bother me. And i was looking for them.
No the dealer didn't plug it in
S1000xr ia the best bike!! Awesome
I'm on the 1290 Super Duke now, and I think it's better🙈
TheLikeableRider what do you think about the SD-GT in comparison with the XR?
They're very similar with regards to spec, but the GT wins it for me with the fun factor! The XR is a great bike, but because it's so refined and smooth it kinda made it boring for me. Never had a vtwin before and it's an absolute weapon with tons of character.
TheLikeableRider thanks for your swift reply mate. ✌🏼 I am in the same boat. Had an GSX-R 1000 before, loved it to death. Always an 4Cyl. my whole life. I really think that the SD-GT will tick all boxes with that mental V2. I just hope it will fit a larger (and wider. Lol) guy too. Looking forward for a testride next month!
@@mkmahooo9722 let me know how you get on with it! I'm sure you'll like its mentalness
Always entertaining, good lad!
thanks👍
We couldn't breathe on it either! That power boost is something else.
We did a review of the S1000XR too - give it a watch and tell us what you think! th-cam.com/video/AUKh7vJ_AwI/w-d-xo.html
Shaun....What was it restricted to hp wise? I think in Canada & USA they come from the Dealer with the Full Beans 160 hp...Cheers!!
It's limited to 9 thousand Revs! With the dongle that I connected, it then gives you the fourth riding mode(dynamic pro) and gives you more power within all riding modes
I live in Canada. My 2016 S1000RR was restricted to 8k rpm. It's just for the break in period. That goes got the XR and single R version too.
"With the dongle that I connected, it then gives you the fourth riding mode(dynamic pro) and gives you more power within all riding modes"
You keep repeating this and its wrong. On a normal bike the dongle does not give you more power within all riding modes. If its limited to 9K revs until the first service it will continue to be restricted.
+Antonio Russell
the bike isn't restricted anymore, and what I said is quoted straight out of the handbook!
Yes, selectively quoted. You left out the essential part. On a regular bike the coding plug will not increase HP across all modes, it just enables dynamic pro mode. Only on bikes that have been restricted for certain markets does the coding plug release that restriction.
Suddenly occurred to me why everything is fly by wire now !
It's so it can be restricted easily..
The new plans announced that by 2022 all new cars will be restricted to speed limits must be going on bikes too..
I'll kill myself before then😂
David Rutherford There are enough geeks with laptops who will be there to hack.
looking forwar to the full review.. can it be from the traffic free twisties of your locality please.... :-)
sure! I'll ride somewhere nice in the middle of no where💲
Nice one ...thanks :-)
When I get my xr. I'm going to dark side it.
Definitely gonna test ride the new one👍😜
what was your last bike?
triumph tiger 1050
TheLikeableRider get your hands on the Tuono 1100. That bike was put together by the devil himself ;-)
+Jayden Valentine will keep that in mind👍
is difference in power only noticeable in one mode or all of them?
Mostly in Dynamic Pro, just because all the aids are turned off, so its a more noticeable hand full. I had a software upgrade a few weeks ago, with new mapping throughout and that has made it even better!!
new mapping? sth like a recall or free of charge upgrade at dealer's will? just asking out of curiosity coz considering this bike
Vstm
Bike went in because I had a brake fluid leak, and they offered the software upgrade, quite a noticeable difference how it now rides.
cams problem, brake fluid leak, not so good for brand new 17k bike huh?! I had one Beemer before R1200RT 36kkm when purchased, had to return to the dealer coz nothing but electronic glitches taking me off the road all the time. hopefully urs will be grand from now on
Vstm
Just unlucky with a bad batch of cams, the brake fluid had been changed prior by the dealership on the last serviced, do think the bleed nipple needed snugging up. All part of ownership😜
Wicked m8. 😃
I thought so👍😜
What did you have before this?
Triumph tiger 1050
You reckon its quicker than the MS?
Definitely
+TheLikeableRider Mmmmm, got me thinking....
+Mark Williams you should buy one!😜😜
+TheLikeableRider I guess you can never have too many!
+Mark Williams never too many m8! think I wonna get a dirt bike now😃
Why don't you save a ton and buy an older bike without these stupid electronics? My Moto Morini Corsaro 1200 Veloce needed a proper mapping, thanks Moto Star, Sjöb,Sweden. Now it is super smooth, very fast, very entertaining, and super safe due to excellent handling and maybe the best brakes ever. "First generation of Brembo Gold Line radials.." You will have to practice gas-control and proper braking, but if you get in trouble it's your own fault, not a strange "security system " which when it fails will kill you. BMW and Honda had major issues and recalls with ABS-systems on bikes, now Volvo recalls 750 000 cars due to unreliable "intelligent " braking systems.... If you don't know how to make an emergency braking, sit wrong, lock your arms and don't anchor yourself to the bike you probably will fuck up the forks and the handling of your bike so badly that no "security system " could help you!" So buy an older bike without these mumbo jumbo from the EU regulations and spend the cash you saved on practicing with an instructor. Probably you will still have money left for your dream biker holiday too. Take care out there!
First of all, people much smarter than you and me have pretty much agreed that ABS > No ABS.
Secondly, recalls or not, brakes are brakes. If the ABS stops working properly unexpectedly, it doesn't "kill" you, nothing special happens actually.
Given the ignorant post I'd assume you don't even ride.
I've bought this thing for the features it has and new bike warranty. + BMW is the only dealer here that offers test rides.
Even if you do ride, not everyone who owns one of these modern bikes does 200 km per week on Sunday.
I'd very much like the ABS to help with braking when I get off my night shift and am super tired, in traffic that someone like you has never experienced before.
please fix the wind noise on your videos :(
Super-Tactical.com
what wind noise? sounds fine to me!
just as an example...around 4:23-4:33 the wind noise is doing weird things to the sound...hurts my dainty ears!
Super-Tactical.com
I don't think a few seconds of wind noise warrants such comments. it's pretty much impossible to have good vlogging and bike audio without some wind noise.
I noticed it on your previous video too and clicked off it to arrive here. That was just an example. Maybe my speakers are weird or I have sensitive ears but it's real bad on my system. Good luck with the bike
Why do these blogs start with a real twatty sound track from some stupid arcade game...
philip millen
lol that one has gone....too twatty
