Thanks Bill for another clear instruction video. Did the pack of rotor screws automatically come in the kit supplied by OPP Racing or are they a separate add on I would have to put into my cart prior to check out?
You should always put new pads on the bike with the new discs as the old ones will have a track from the wear on the old discs,, surprising bmw don't fit floating discs on the bike as standard,, get the carbon fibre on the bike bill,, calling out bum suppliers,, they up the game or go bust,, ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️from Northern Ireland have a good new year's and keep the videos coming,, 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍hi
@@rogerkohnen68 In the USA, the Haynes had a leaking brake fluid issue in the RR and 1250GS (other models as well, but can't remember which). They were never able to fix it, so BMW switched to the Nissin. It was bad enough that BMW had a stop sale order in place (in the USA) on all RR, GS (and other models I can't remember at the moment) with the dealers. All 2020 (I believe in the EU the K67 first model year was 2019), and 2021 front brake calipers were replaced by BMW as part of a massive recall. The stop order was initiated in Oct 2020 and was not lifted until Feb (GS and others)/March 2021(RR).
Apparently BMW were trying to shave down the cost of the new S1000RR but Brembo refused to supply them at the price demanded, so BMW switched to Hayes. When they had the Hayes recall, BMW replaced the calipers with either Nissin or Brembo. I know that on the new S1000XR BMW have gone back to Brembo so it might be the same on Bill’s 2022 single R.
Hey Bill, Id like to know your bar end mirror setup, I have the exact s1000r as yours and have been torn between some bar end mirror options but I don't want to sacrifice the weights and have seen you might be running some CRG mirror.
Hi Bill! I see you sold your S1000RR 2020 and now bought a 2022. I dont see a video where you talk about getting back on the S1k and whether the things you disliked before are fixed? Why did you go back to it?
May I suggest two things. 1) Pit Bull’s Pit Crew Tire Wedge. 2) After removing the caliper bolts, lift the calipers off the Dow pins and with the calipers still on the rotor, push the caliper in and out. This forces the pistons in thus giving you more room to remove the calipers without chipping the wheel.
Hi i have a 2018 S1000XR just replaced the front discs to similar Brembo Disc and still feeling a wobble on front end when braking do you have any ideas ?? Or i’m putting it back to standard and its going back to bmw under warranty
Still the best video on TH-cam about removing the wheels/brakes off the S1000R 😎
wow this video is the best! thank You for your explaining!
AWESOME! Glad you found it useful
Definitely put the carbon fiber trim on. Anything beats plastic and carbon fiber is not only sporty and light but elegant as well.
👍
Hi Bill 👋🏻 Nice video👍👍 I looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for watching, as always!
Thanx for the video buddy, and what bar end mirrors have you installed on your beauty.

Re-used the same bolts.

Hey Bill! Just did my first track day on the bike and wonder what benefits you noticed from this upgrade.
nice Video, mate 🔥🔥🔥
Thumbs up and keep it up!
KUKI
Thanks for watching 🙏
The Brembo HPK work better and you no longer have a deformation problem?
Thanks for posting. Did you replace the calipers on a previous episode? I thought the R & RR came with the Nissin calipers.
Hi, I was also surprised. In Europe the S1000R is delivered with BMW branded callipers ( build by Haynes or …?)

US they come with the Brembo calipers.

What is the part # for the Rotor bolts that you got from BREMBO?🤔 The ones you put on that were in the BREMBO BAG (8.47 min). Best, Gary

We wanted to give the platform another shot now that all the issues / stop sales have been addressed. Still not 100% in love with it.
@@CaliMotoTV Thanks for such a quick reply! Looking forward to you ranting or loving it on video! :-)

👍
Did they send you the carbon just because of your video?
Long story. Stay tuned.

That rotor box is a good pizza box to keep :)
😂😂😂😂
Hi. Can you tell me if these rotors rattle at all? I had hpk rotors on my R1 and they rattled around at lower speeds on the road.
Are there no light weight wheels going onto this bike bill? Would be interesting to hear your views on the difference. Thanks steve
Probably not.
Maybe swap them with the rr, just for a video comparison 👍
Bill. How did you remove the reflectors from the front fender? TIA, Ken
Heat gun and they just popped off.
A bit off topic but why you did not go with M Carbon or M Forged wheels?
It's how the bike came, didn't really have the choice in the matter since we wanted it now now
Normally leave a bit slack to let the realignment happen. Do you not do any of that mate?.
Did you end up getting new stock pads or did you upgrade those as well?
Upgraded them to EBC sintered pads
Thank you Bill. Do you have a part #?
@@CaliMotoTV ebc HH? Its better than stock pads?
Are you supposed to lube the axle with Optimol or Molub Alloy paste or something similar?
There was plenty on there, it's a brand new bike.
Sir, is the process the same for our 2020-2022 BMW S1000RR? Thank you!
Yes, the process is the same. Please note that cast wheels have different rotors than the forged wheels.
@@CaliMotoTV Thank you!
Hi! Why did you change the brake discs/rotors?
Because we spend a ton of time on the track.
Do you feel the same about the rear rotors?
Not really.
Hi Bill, do you have perhaps the Brembo reference number or a link? Thanks

IF YOU DONT HAVE THE FRONT TIRE INVERTED SOCKET YOU CAN USE A 5/8 BOLT (15/16 HEAD/SOCKET) DOUBLE NUT IT REALLY HARD AND WOOLAHH TIRE OFF!
Love it
👌
For what they cost, BMW could put better rotors on them.
StreetFighter and XR updates please
Streetfighter still at the shop 😢
What is that shroud on the TFT?
It's a screen visor off of Amazon. Same as for the GS.
Wait what ? Impact gun.
To remove bolts. Not tighten them.
Put the carbon on…but stay true of the problem you, me and others had with this company.
Hmmm
