- Breaking in your engine properly is probably the most important thing you can do with your new motorcycle, and the 2021 BMW M1000RR is no exception. Because the M1000RR only has 2 piston rings (to reduce friction), it is more sensitive to an improper break-in procedure.
If your engine is broken in improperly your bike will lose power, consume more oil, be more susceptible to detonation, increase engine wear, and increase the likelihood of serious engine damage in the future.
There is no universally agreed upon method to break-in an engine. One thing that is agreed upon is that heat cycling and varying engine load and RPM is important. Most people think this procedure takes hundreds, if not thousands of miles to perform. This is incorrect. The majority of your break-in with a modern sport bikes is within the first 20 to 30 miles of riding.
What has worked for us is warming the engine oil to operating temp (about 15 minutes of idling). You then get the bike to 3rd or 4th gear at about 3000 or 4000 RPM then giving it 100% throttle all the way to the limiter, then releasing the throttle completely and letting the bike engine brake back down to 3-4000 RPM. DO NOT USE YOUR BRAKES when the bike is engine braking. This is another vital component in the break-in and just as important as accelerating. We repeat this process for about 30 miles then ride like we normally would. Varying RPM and throttle loads is very important.
This video goes into some slight details on what signs to look for on a properly ran engine and this will work for those wondering how to break-in their new motorcycle.
This should go without saying but this break-in should not be performed on public roads. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I am currently getting my motor replaced on my M1000RR. Mine did this and I fussed for over a year. It finally dropped a cylinder and BMW is now replacing the motor. Apparently they just dropped an oil consumption bulletin for these bikes. Lucky that’s what helped me because they wanted to blame me.
Appreciate the vid troy🔥
WAITT YOU HEREE well tbh I was kinda expecting it
I was told by a few mechanics to do it gently for the first two or three thousand miles.
I thought you need to use the throttle like claiming a mountain up and down
Hi, how do I run the M1000rr? if you can make a video exactly as you did on your engine it would be great, meaning to get on the engine and do exactly as you did. thanks
Great info, happy to report in my exhaust is basically clean.
Just followed the owners manual to the T!
Just out of curiosity, how does BMW say to properly break in the M1000?
BMW Owner's Manual states that you shouldn't open throttle to 100% during break-in period. Rest of the tips are correct :)
Nice video! I recently purchased a S1000rr 23 model. Done about 150 miles. I experience some strange behaviour. Doesn’t seems smooth on low speed acceleration second gear even first seems jerky and i have the feeling there’s a grinding sound once moving on slower speed.It’s normal or should i call the dealer for a check because doesn’t make me feel good. Speed control on slow speed is horrible 😊
Hand book says not to leave idling for long periods. Also says to start engine and ride away immediately. When running in use twisty hilly roads it says.
If my 2020 s1000rr just needs a new dash does it need to be matching with the ecu, key, ignition etc for it to work? Or can I just connect a used dash and call it a day?
Needs to be programmed at the dealer
Sorry for being off topic, but is that an Akrapovič option header? Does it bolt-on to the factory mufflers of the M 1000?
That's the "M" bike and it comes with the Akrapovic exhaust system. Of course it has California EPA emissions stuff on it. If your trying to track the bike there are full systems you can buy as well as headers (that include link pipes) you can purchase and keep the original exhaust. But you need to get the fuel system flashed and possibly replace the air filter (but I hear the stock air filter on the M bikes is actually better)
I bought the optional header for mine and it just bolted right up.
Thanks for sharing because a lot of people that don't understand would think that babying a motor would be protecting your investment when in all honesty they are engineered to have so many heat cycles and have to be (broke in)! Great details and thorough. IM STILL WAITING ON MY 2021 M1000RR TO ARRIVE SO I CANT WAIT TO GET A FLASH. IM NERVOUS IF THE AIRBOX IS GOING TO SLOW DOWN STAGE 1&2 COMING OUT.
That's a nice helmet you got there and you should start a TH-cam channel maybe
Great tip, check Marcel Irnie, superbike racer he has a great video breaking in an s1000rr. He gets the limiter removed straight away and then goes through the warm ups pulls heat soak etc its a very good video for people that don't know. It's great your taking time out to let people know, I think this is why there are some issues as you just stated with oil burning. Great info.
I’ve showed this video to our local bmw dealer and they don’t recommend this. Not sure if it’s a USA to uk thing but they showed me their recommended way of doing it and it’s nothing like this. I’m confused 🤔at least there is a 3 year warranty !
According to our local dealer they say. BMW say max 7000 revs for the first 300 miles then max 9000 revs for 300-600 miles (digitally limited anyway) no full load before the 600 mile service. Vary the conditions I.e twistys, straights, hills, declines etc and use all the gears.
The people at the dealership change oil most days. Any serious engine issues are shipped to bmw for diagnoses. The mechanics at the dealers are not certified to do anything but read the manual and that’s what they read back to you.
@@BT_Moto the mechanics at our local bmw dealership actually co-work for bmw tyco raceteam in the uk in bsb and as I just ordered an M1000rr I showed them your video to confirm and after watching it they told me not to do that as a break in recommendation. I’m not trolling you. Honestly feeding back what they said.
@@theonlyredspecial very odd. We also talk with bmw race teams. They immediately remove the limiter and track them (ones we speak to).
@@BT_Moto I believe you. I only found your channel recently after looking for m1000rr content and found your video interesting and brought it up with a few of the guys I know at this dealership with a lot of experience. I’ve heard other people say that the first 100 miles is the most critical for any engine.
@@theonlyredspecial yes, first few miles are the most crucial
Do you change the oil to full synthetic after those initial 30 miles or so?
Thanks for the info I will do it this way know
This is how i broke in my streetfighter V4 on the highway over 1000 miles
Half and wot pulls from 5-9000rpm lots and lots of it
From KLR65Os to R1s, I've always broken in new bikes like this while changing the oil frequently. The KLR was notorious for burning oil but mine never did. Not a single drop. My guess why some manufacturers say to baby the bike during break in is to limit potential lawsuits from riders if they get in trouble with Johnny Law or if they crash. Only guessing, though.
I like all this, except the warm up. This is a big power to weight ratio vehicle. I believe it is better to allow oil to the head, then operate at low throttle low gears while warming up to keep pressure on bearing surfaces. Either is better than throttling a cold engine
This break in procedure doesn’t correspond to what BMW recommends.
3:37 and 4:08 👍
Use a ticker Oil ...... it will help a bit .. 5w-40 is too thin ...
R1 m doesnt have this crap r1m is by far more reliable than this bike
Just a bad motor not the break in period cause even the case those 2 miles the rings would of failed to begin with
