The 2021 BMW S1000rr has been a DREAM bike to own! I know some people seem to have common problems on their bmw s1000rr, but so far, I haven't had any issues. Other than the strange cold start and that ridiculous factory motorcycle tune they ship the bike with... Yes, I'm getting a brentune stage 1... It's decided. Only because the s1000rr sounds like it wants to die when starting. And with the weather starting to cool down, the cold start is even worse. lol. But at least I'm not on here searching how to winterize a motorcycle! We'll be riding all year long once again! I'm super excited to see how many people locally have put deposits down on the 2022 s1000rr at Euro Cycles. In fact, lots of people are switching from their Aprilia to go with the BMW s1000rr. Shocker there, huh? I'm convinced, nothing else beats this bike overall. It's just a great machine!
The cold start is the Cat warm up phase for emissions, gets the cat hot quickly by adding more fuel and ignition advance so the exhaust gasses are hotter. Cars do it too…
Good info. I didn't know that!
Great 6000m review mate you picked up on heaps of little things that only someone who rides day in and out and knows their bike would notice. We have our own master mechanic (head of BMW AU SBK racing team) who provides our tunes so I can only comment on that but a lot of the smaller problems are gone + lots of extra things to be happy about. We never had the flat spot on our models but even so the tune is still highly recommended
Thanks! After the brentune, I felt a huge difference in the bike and even happier than I was before! I'm a little over 8,000 miles now, but the bike is actually in the shop for some issues I started having. I'll be covering that in a video later this week.
We just picked up our 2022 S1000RR in Mineral Gray.
Try putting your hand over the muffler for the first 30 sec at the cold start and will start and idle better. 😉
Nice!! I have a few friends that just took delivery of their mineral gray s1k. One even got the M billet parts and such which looks really good on that color scheme. Might have to try the hand over the pipe trick. lol
Brentune is your friend
For reference I don't think carbon fiber flexs more than cast or forged wheels. Its 3 times more rigid than steel or aluminium.
Great review thanks. I have mine since January 2021. 4,773km (2,965 miles) on it now. Great bike. I don't have the tuning issues as I live in Ireland. That dark screen seems really dark - perhaps its just the camera but I prefer my original clear screen as I like to know what's directly in front of me.
Thanks, Rodger! I'm hoping to have the tuning issues fixed within the next week. I'm super excited to feel the difference!
It definitely looks darker in the video. It is quite dark still, but I'm still able to see through it at a full tuck. Not that my bike sits in the sun a whole lot, I like to think that the darker shield helps protect the screen a bit.
Great video Seth I've just purchased my 2022 BMW S1000RR M sport here in the UK just waiting on data to flow through to the insurance companies - really looking forward to getting my hands on mine within the next week. Been watching endless video's like yours getting the heads up what the BMW is like to ride,own,service and upgrades for me all looking really good. For now upgrade's will only be cosmetic adding carbon fibre body panels( the black plastic panels) replacing the rear sets to the BMW M one's shit like that. Tuning and exhaust upgrades will have to wait due to the 36 month warranty but I will have a conversation with my local dealership about that. Thanks for the upload Merry Christmas ride safe Seth 😉👍
Congratulations on the new bike!! You’re going to love it! That’s the best Christmas present ever. Lol. I just rolled over 13,000 miles on mine and she’s still great!
@@SethMichael Oh yeah best Christmas ever 😁 13k miles ill be happy getting to 600 miles get the beast unlocked but ill still take it easy for at least 1000 to 1500 miles I will have a play every so often. Here in the uk still have to be careful of the speed cameras. Bring on spring and summer 😁 ride safe bud 😉👍
I’ve got the 2020 M-Sport. Fortunately the Australian bike is the same spec as the European so we don’t have that horrific dead spot in the power band. However, cold starts are embarrassing and it’s not unusual for the bike to die 2-3 times before eventually catching. I’m taking it to the dealer on Friday for the firmware update so we’ll see if that helps. Other than that, I love the bike. I have the TST Industries tail lights and tail tidy, as well as the Rizoma Stealth Mirrors and Leggera indicators and almost everyone comments on them whenever I stop anywhere. Every other K67 owner who sees the Stealth mirrors says they want to get them.
Lucky! They ruined the US stock tune. 🤦♂️ lol. I'd be curious to hear if the firmware update fixes the embarrassing cold start for you vs going with a full tune though. Those Stealth mirrors looks sooo sick! The main reason I haven't tried them though is because I use my mirrors a lot and they seem kind of small. What are your thoughts on the usability of them? or do you typically ride with them flipped down?
@@SethMichael Bren tune is a must! Hard to believe you put 6k miles on this without a bren tune. Stage 1 is all you really need. Very soon they will have Black Friday special on the tune, thats the time to buy!
The vibrations that you mention when you are cruising in 5th or 6th between 80/120kmh happens to me. But not always. It is a bit random... Jajajaja
Sooooo true that happen to my 2021. I hit a pothole and it cracked my carbon fiber rims but I made it home. It totaled my bike 🏍 out so now I have a 2022 with the forged. I’m in San Diego, CA
Dang! I've been lucky so far! Around here, we have a lot of construction going on and the roads have been terrible, but I've avoided most of the devastating pot holes. lol. I see a lot of guys switching to the forged wheels though.
Thank you for this video. I am with you 100% regarding the vibration in the front. Mine is approaching 700 miles 😊!
Awesome!! The miles start racking up fast! lol. Do you have the stock body parts? or some carbon fiber? Just curious if one or the other vibrates more.
@@SethMichael all the fairing parts on mine are stock and I do get that vibration (both feel and sound) in the higher RPM. Please make videos when you get the Brentuning :) It's the next item on my list as I just installed the Akra header + GP muffler and it's super loud. I think I will just do stage 1.
Is there special parts of some sorts to reduce the vibration?
Truly gorgeous bike! 🥰 Thanks for the review bro. 👍
I'll be getting the 2022 version soon 😍. Can't imagine how amazing it'll be compared to my 2018 R6. I won't be selling R6 though as I love it so much.
Bimmers r boring after a few months, good bikes but boring😕
@@nikbau7642 no it's not ^^ i've got mine for 6 months and never get bored of that
You're going to love it! That's a big upgrade from the R6. You'll enjoy going back and forth though since you're keeping the R6. It's going to feel small after you ride the 2022!
All USA bikes are restricted, most all are on the top end. BMW restricted it around the middle. Every USA bike these days needs an ECU flash if you want all the performance out of it. BMW offers an TOM that's helps the dead spot but take a good 20 hp off the top end. Better off with Bren tune stage 1.
vibration in the front just take the wind screen out and place correct the plastic again on position. You can buy also some gloves! but maybe they are handy if you want to work on a touch screen :p
I might have to do that. See if it helps a bit. Yes I know I need new gloves so bad! 🤣 I keep forgetting to stop by the shop to get some!
There is nothing wrong with paying for service and supporting shops but keep in mind that your wallet is far more important than theirs and they will always overcharge. Also, I’m sure you know already but supposedly the 2022 models have had the dead midrange corrected. Not like a Bren tune but much better than before. I am working a deal on a 2022 M package. $24,900 out the door.
I am on the fence over purchasing s1000rr for 2022. Sounds like the bike is not really a complete package how is BMW struggling with this bike after 14 years of production. Better bike and value RSV4 $19k no power band issues stock, no tune needed & slap the full Akra on $2k 217bhp and $6-$12k in your pocket left after purchasing compared to the S1000rr. I pulled up next to S1000rr first I thought what bike is that all black 2021 I couldn’t figure out what bike it was for a minute had zero road presence. The old generation is a better bang for buck. Just my opinion nice job on your M pack & video much appreciated.
I really like the rsv4, but for the type of riding I do most, the s1000rr just made more sense. The Aprilia absolutely kills it out of the box though! Such a fun bike to ride! The s1000rr is just more comfortable and worthy of longer trips/street riding. And with the M colors, it pops. But you're right, with the standard colors, it does kind of just blend in with the rest unfortunately. Sucks that we have to put a bunch of extra money into something just to make it what it should already be.
Hands down bmw between the 2 for me. But I'm an old man
Loved the review! debating on making this my next bike. also i live in seminole so it’s funny watching ride all the same roads as me😆
Small world! I love this bike! It's in the shop right now for some warrantee work, but I should have it back soon. I just happened to be the 1% with an issue. Of course. lol. You should stop up at Euro Cycles and check out the 2022 models!
@@SethMichael my buddy and I were at Eurocycle a couple weeks ago to test ride some bikes but they only had a single R there.
They had however a newly traded in double R with full carbon package and race tune. It just looks exactly like yours!! Is it??
Nope, not my bike but I know who’s it was! That bike needs absolutely nothing! It’s perfect.
@@SethMichael ohh man. I was so sure sure it was yours and I even showed my buddy your videos to confirm but I guess I was wrong!!
I’m in Land O Lakes, hopefully we can meet up one of these days!!
Have just under 13k on my 2021. If you're having that backfire through the intake and hard starts, get your coils tested. Mine failed while riding down the highway. Immediately dropped 2 cylinders and got a red serious engine fault. Due to failing coils it allowed the cylinders to fill and dump fuel which clogged the catalytic converter and fouled the sensors as well. So bmw had to replace sensors, coils, and they managed to clean the cat so didn't replace the exhaust that they originally expected to. Great bike, but its is European, so you get what you get as far as reliability of electronics.
Really, you're questioning European electronics reliability? Space age compared to Harleys et al.
@@hkpr-ro6ui yes. And I dont like Harley's either, don't know where you got that. Japanese bikes and cars are statistically more reliable. Its been proven time and time again. And I agree Harley's are trash and just an expensive boy scouts badge you can ride when it isn't broken.
@@ASMODAY1K Yes, I don't dispute superior Japanese reliability, with cars too. I thought you are American so assumed your comment was comparing to US bikes, and you were specific about electronics reliability which puzzled me why you were generalising on European electronics. I own a BMW S1000R, Triumph Speed Triple 1050 and a Triumph Thunderbird and they've been faultless, although my brother's Ducati Monster was a nightmare.
Hey bro just wanted to give you some constructive feedback…
Overall you just didn’t sound confident and were very unsure of yourself. Avoid words like “i think, or i believe”… Just say what you’re trying to say with confidence.
It would make for better reviews; i would also plan ahead about what you’re trying to say before you actually say it. I fly airplanes and before i speak to the tower or other aircraft around me i already know what i will be saying because i don’t want to sound confused on a hot mic… Just makes you a lot more credible.
Again this is just my feedback after watching your video, take it or leave it. Ride safe thanks.
I appreciate all constructive feedback! Thanks!
Subbed primarily for proudly flying the Stars and Stripes!
Your service cost are a steal, where I live it cost $500+ for regular service (oil & filter) it’s insane really just to reset maintenance light.
Dang, thats crazy!! Where do you live? We have smaller shops around here that are a little cheaper even, but I prefer going to the BMW dealership though.
@@SethMichael I live in Hawaii, the place that I go to is Cycle City Hawaii 600 Puuloa Road Honolulu, HI 96819, they are a bmw motorcycle dealership and oil change/filter costs are a disgrace. Lol
that's ridiculous it cost me $220 for a service (in Australia so it was $315 AUD)
I feel that you're getting ripped off on those servicing costs. $200 for an oil change? $400 for a minor service? cost me $315 AUD for a service (close to $220 USD). Keep in mind my mechanics hourly rate is $120 and the service includes oil and filter, brake fluid, chain clean and lube etc
It's definitely not the cheapest service, but I will say my local euro guys always take care of me in a pinch so I'm always willing to give them my business to ensure they stay in business.
hi, I love the bike, but I am just wondering does this sporty position hurt our back after riding continuously for few hours?
Awesome video...thanks! Track Hawk alert at 10:00!
Great 6k review dude! Still so undecided between a 22' S1000RR Clubsport (basically a mineral grey M sport with carbon and billet pack in Australia), or the Panigale V4S. Such a tough choice :-/
Both great bikes! The deciding factor for me was that I do a lot of street/casual riding. The V4s is a straight up race bike so isn't very comfortable for typical street use. Where as the S1000rr is a great mixture of both. Very comfortable yet all the power you'd need. With that said, the V4s is a monster and a blast to ride though! Just a bit more aggressive riding position and throws more engine heat on your legs when you're not moving fast.
@@SethMichael Hmm you make a solid point. My riding is probably 99% street/casual riding. Track would likely be 3 to 4 times a year lol. Plus summer months in Sydney tend to get pretty damn hot, up to just over the 40c (104 f) mark. Maybe the bmw is the better option. Just look at the Panigale though ;-/
@@SethMichael I think the reveal of the 22' V4S has changed my mind lol
@@kentrolla oh man!!! That’s a beautiful bike!!
@@kentrolla what did they change? Wondering if it’s really worth the extra thousands over the s1000rr M
Where did you get your tinted windshield from? Is it the tall version?
Bro, I live in Central Illinois and I still ride and it's the end of December, 40 degrees and up I'll ride talk about cold buy my 21 s1k doesn't sound anything like that, it will idle funny for a couple minutes, and my rpm redline will start at 6,000 and go up 1,000 about a minute. But I love my bmw, the only other bike that comes close to it in my opinion is the H2R but on corners my bmw blows it out the water.
The brentune took care of the weird idle at start up. But you're insane for riding up there in the winter! 😂. I grew up in Iowa and I was done riding around November. Then waited for what little snow we could get to ride snowmobiles 😂
" I will will neither confirm nor deny it's getting a Bren tune"......lol. Yeah, I would never make any exhaust and/or filter changes without having it properly tuned at the same time on almost any modern bike. That's exactly why you're getting cold starts like that, guaranteed. Beautiful bike though.
Good reviews dude. Keep it up
*Hi bro " Good Evening" actually on traffic conditions S1000RR will our Pants get hot ans fuel tank over heat like the R1*
I'd have to say this bike runs pretty cool compared to others. It seems as though they found a great way shield the rider from the engine heat! Even where I live in Florida, I've never had an issue with it getting too hot for me.
R1 is not a hot bike to ride.
Whaaats up buddy .You are mobbing the sickest Bike available.Iam Doing my research on my next Bike purchase that’s what got me to your review..iam currently hating My Bike Iam ripping.it’s one of them things I can’t sell the .POS. to move up in DA Bike world.lol.excellent review 👍
I really appreciate that man! What are you riding currently? Are you looking for a specific style for your next bike?
@@SethMichael my current bike is a 21 gsxr 1000r 100th anniversary edition. The bike just isn’t working for me .🤬. I thought I would ignore all the Negative hype about the Bike. Never Doing that Again.there is a damn good reason Suzuki is ranked last on every Review.so now that Bikes are Back in Shops BMWs1000rr all the way.just can’t sell my sh.Tzuki Fast enough.
did you have to remap the control unit for the exhaust? does it go better with this exhaust? where did you find the collectors?
Thank you
No need to remap since the bike relearns itself. It still runs just as good! I do have a brentune on order though to wake it up a bit more!
@@SethMichael thank you for info !
New subscriber here in the Tampa area(Carrollwood) with 21 zx10r and would live to ride with ya.
Holy ums and uhs!!!!!!!! Someone teach this guy how to speak.
😂😂. Yeah the filler words slip in there for sure. lol
It’s a sports bike 🤷♂️ they’re meant for track use, high rev behaviour, of course it’s not going to behave as well on the street.beemers are precision machines. Zzzhey doo Exzackty as designed, main freund
What tires do you run on it?
Running the Metzeler K3 tires which are the same tire that came with the bike. Nice soft tire that still gets some good life!
People that ride motorcycles but complain or mention anything about traffic
Buy some Kevlar thread and stitch that left glove finger
😂. The gloves have been replaced finally! lol
That Akra is way too quiet.
The akra and header are perfect for me. I've had REALLY loud bikes before and I'm good with this. lol
Too many ads lost the will to live
30,000 $ bike needing to be tuned and having problems in 6,000 miles. Even if I had that kinda dough it seems like a rip off.
Welcome to America. Where the regulations bog down everything. 😂. No real issues other than that though! Once the tune is done, she'll be 100%!
A lot of miles for a 2021
that's cause he rides it
Little over 8,000 now! Unfortunately in the shop right now fixing some issues. I'll be uploading a video later this week covering what happend.
@@SethMichael I just passed my 1yr at 12,000kms - 13,000kms ☺️ no problems yet but bike was out of commission for 7 weeks due to being hit by a car
