Very well presented video. Very rarely I would leave a comment, but this has impressed me enough to leave one. Your voice is so calm and collective, unlike some others that I makes me turn video off half way through. Well done !!
I know exactly what you mean. Shouty has its time and place but 99% of the time I prefer a calm tone to the conversation ! It's a balance I try to strike where you don't want it to be boring to some people either Very happy you liked the video noname, stay tuned you won't be disappointed 😉
My friend's S1000RR is good now after much work we did on it together . We rebuilt the engine and all is good now . He has a gold edition from 2017 . We made shims etc and it is much more reliable now . The engine did not fail but the tell - tale sign was the sound of the engine during dynamometer tests . We solved the problems before any failure occurred .
Excellent video and the single best advert for Japanese bikes! After many problems over the years with Ducati / BMW / Modern Triumphs / Harley Davidson & KTM I no longer buy European or US bikes now (even though some made in China & Thailand nowadays!).
Fully agree - money no object is a different story, but for me where money is a .. VERY big object and have to thoroughly think about my purchases and make sure they don't turn into a money pit (done that way too many times) - I can only trust the Japanese for my main bike. As someone who relies on his bikes as main mode of transport (no car and lenghty commute) - I need it to start every.single.time. The Japanese still manufacture in Japan for their big CC, and that gives me confidence.
I wanted a supermoto dual sport and had considered a BMW G450x. What put me off was to remove the front sprocket you have to remove the whole rear swinging arm. Sometimes good ideas are bad! I think the worst speed fail I did was erm.. challenging a Porsche with my YPVS 350. My engine seized (without warning) at around 110. Road I mean track was straight and it was fairly easy for me to get to the side of the road. My crank seized on both big ends. The metal was blue from the heat. Lesson learnt!
Wow I actually didnt know that. I like chain on the opposite side of sidestand. I can pardon indicator stalks on both sides. But dismantle the bike to get to a sprocket is a NO from me.. 'Road I mean track' rofl don't you love it when a little challenge costs you your engine 😆
@@UrgetoRide Haha yes - Google the images for front sprocket on engine and it should show you. I used my brains and went for a CCM 404 DS. Suzuki DRZ engine that's more tuned and so far at 40k miles it hasn't destroyed itself. Quite a surprise given the abuse it gets lol.
@@UrgetoRide The engine in these is the DRZ 400 E unit - it's their enduro engine (not SM) and has slightly wilder cams. Exhaust is pretty much straight through to a Scorpion tail pipe. It's noisy but road legal. The carb for a CCM with this engine is a flat side one that's often yearned for by DRZ owners. It gives a fair power increase over standard but best is the throttle response - instant. Reliability? I treat mine differently. Oil is replaced at 500 miles (1.9 litres dry sump) and the oil filter I do at 1 k miles. There are 'fixes' that need to be done such as stronger sprag clutch bolts and I did all of those too. I've had this 2 years and mainly done warmer weather riding. Aside from chewing chains and sprockets (cos fun wheelies and stuff) it has never stopped working. At one point I thought the engine was splitting in half inside due to a strange noise but that turned out to be a stripped loose bolt holding the engine bash plate - the plate was resonating through the whole bike!! Took the plate off and fixed it instantly. I do need to fix that thread but cmon I can still ride it.. Umm.. I did have a rubber end on a spark plug cap crumble inside the deep hole in the head where the spark plug lives. That was an utter utter cnut to get out. I had to remove it with plug in place because the bits would fall into the cylinder. Took me two days of yelling before I realised that a gust of compressed air would eject the particles of rubber. Mine rattles. It vibrates. It's noisy. But - starts immediately. Runs very very well. Ticks over perfectly. Cluth is good and the gears excellent. With this engine there's a 3rd gear issue where the factory supplied poor 3rd gears. They shed teeth. Mine must be a better one. A good allrounder but missing a 6th gear. That's the main issue. Maximum gearing with sprockets takes me to almost 90 which any faster and I'd be blown off because of the wide bars. Next year I'll be on lower gearing and actual dual sport tyres of some sort. II'm currently running Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2s. They're very good but the bike is light at around (I think) 128 kilos and they don't heat up enough - even with my heavy arse on them. I want something with grippier pattern or something and a soft compound. I'd like to get offroad with more grip but definitely not green laning. I think there's a 60 k miles DRZ 400 video on TH-cam if you take a look. Like mine it's standard but theirs is like spanners being dragged in a sack lol. Rest of the bike is excellent. They used top quality parts such as White Power shocks. The only bad bit I suppose is the frame being a bit heavy but that's fine. I'm not taking it motorcross racing!
@@jackking5567 Thank you for such a detailed account 👌 I'm happy you're happy with it ! Although oil change every 500 miles you must have shares in Motul or something ☺️ Also if I were you I wouldnt mention that shock brand again.. at least not for a whiiiile 😂
Under warranty so won't cost the rider a penny. Riding legally at legal speeds on that motorway so can't see them getting out of it and they are designed to do that speed so shouldn't break
Manufacturers can still reject warranty .. thats why the small print on the warranty papers is small lol. If they have reasonable grounds to suspect you mistreated the vehicle and dont give an F about the backlash they can show you the door. BUT hopefully yes, it doesn't cost the rider anything. You just never know..
@@Josh-se2sj the video says he's done the run in period but also bmw restrict the bike during this period so wouldn't be able to do that speed if that was the case
🚩 Sometimes you just wish you stayed home. Because sometimes things break. But you really want them to break while stationary, not going full throttle on the Autobahn... Hope you enjoyed the video, TheToastRiders video is in the description for the German speaking curious. Did you ever have a catastrophic failure happen to you ? Tell your story 👍
I bought a first gen Multistrada back in 2011; big mistake. That guy is lucky the engine didn't lock up, be interesting how he gets on with BMW warranty, bet BMW are well chuffed seeing one of their brand new engines self detonate on TH-cam.
Oh shit I was eyeing an 1100DS for a long time, are you saying I dodged a bullet... ? What happened Yeah they better behave on how they treat his, they're gonna have a few eyes on them..
@@UrgetoRide I'm talking the first of the 1200s the previous model with the older engine is probably better. In fact my lad owned a 620 fugly strada with was quite rare and reliable. The comments section isn't long enough for what went wrong with my 1200S: electric ohlins, lost back brake several times, clutch master cylinder, surging, wrong coolant in from new, high speed cut out finally tracked down to a weak side stand spring, false neutrals!! The list could go on but it was returned under warranty 7 times to Ducati Coventry. Literally spent more time there than in my garage. In the end I chopped it in at 18 months for a Speed Triple and took a massive hit. Never touched a Ducati since.
@@Banditmanuk Wow. Thats the kinda crap that makes you turn your back on a brand for a whiiiile. Its probably not funny to you but reading your list made me think of those old movie tropes where someones touches a car and all of it disintegrates and are left holding the steering wheel alone 😂
Yeah in exchange for £250... 😂 had a shop replace both the front and back panels cause they were just completely shot. Thanks for the kind words ! Hope you stick around Pabla 👍
How did you manage to recover your phone from a motorway? Surely not with a U-turn! 😁 Just asking cause that's thought occurs every time I put my phone in to holder on handlebars! 😒 what if..? 😓
Made sure no one was behind me - moved closer to hard shoulder and stomped on the brakes. Poor old brain was working overtime making the decisions, every second spent meant getting further and further from the phone. Parked as safely as I could and luckily only had to run back some 30 sec before I found my phone shattered on the ground. I was utterly gutted. Fun fact ; after spending 250 quid fixing it, a month or so later I shattered the screen again after it fell off my pocket in a petrol station 😂 I use an XGRIP and my mistake was getting complacent and not puttin the rubber band around the edges. ALWAYS do that, I learnt my lesson. Nothing happened for years, doing silly speeds in some instances. Then theres that one day where you wish you spent the 10 seconds putting the rubber band around lol
That sucks. Seems some haters(or the poors) here think they know better but you don't often here of an S1000RR throwing rods. These engines are extremely well built. Acting like they are not is funny. Do we have an update on warranty replacing his engine?
Nice vid 👌 Yeh BMW should honour it - I had a new “short engine” (engine minus valves & cams) after my K1300S had a failed piston ring at 6000 miles. They even let me borrow a brand new R1200GS for a long weekend trip to lands end I already had booked in while that was going on ☺️ as long as it’s not inflicted on track, in any form of competition or through misuse (stunt riding, redlining with clutch in, not keeping fluids topped up) the warranty will cover it.
Thank you GRBiker ! Great to have you here. I think that makes a lot of sense, but then it becomes the hassle of proving the owner did do those things.. its the much much more sane move to just close the case quickly by giving the owner a new engine and moving along. You don't want things like these to escalate..
Indeed, I gather these have black box type devices that log what the bike was doing at point of failure (I’ve had it referenced when I brought it in for other issues) so as long as that’s clear and you don’t bring it adorned with race slicks and noise test pass stickers I’m sure they’ll just crack on 😅
@@GRBiker 'yeah mate never mind the wheelie bar, the extended swingarm, and the safety wiring all round. Got an engine laying around ?' 😂 Love your K1300S btw, if I had balls to buy a used one (aka prepare to sell my liver if something goes wrong out of warranty) I'd do it in a heartbeat. When the time comes for me to get a hypersport, it will be a very close one between a K1300S and a ZX14 (cant stand Busa looks..)
Urge to Ride thanks dude - Yeh I wouldn’t have one without warranty 👀 although, I did part exchange it and get a low mile mint K1300R after the S was getting a little problematic in its old age, plus I prefer the R styling!
It's a recount of events that happened, which might help owners to remember to take it easy for the first miles. Apologies you were left needing for more, anything else you wanted to know ?
@@UrgetoRide no thanks.. your answer is clear.. but still in my opinion.. non-info there will always be one or two examples of a certain thing breaking down.. if you highlight only that.. you'll disinform the public... how many S1000RR's were made?.. how many blew up like this one.. a few??? it doesn't add anything to the world if you share this..
