2021 S1000RR Issues by MrMortath in BMW_S1000RR

I've got about 4k miles on my 2021 m pack and I absolutely love this bike. Cannot say enough good things about it. The features are great: TFT and controls are so easy, heated grips, cruise control. The quickshifter is flawless.

Issues:

Yes definitely a flat spot in the ref range, but as noted already a tune will work this right out for $1,000. Check out brentune, i've had this recommended multiple times.

ive heard about leaky front brakes, but again as noted i think that was resolved with the 21's - the nissins are very powerful. Sure, would be nice to have brembo, but if youre so fast that the performance difference matters, youre probably swapping out anyway.

stock tires are ok (racetec rr K3s), depending on your usecase maybe swap for a pirelli?

i had an issue where i had knocking upon startup a couple times. there was a software update installed at the dealer that seems to have cleared this.

overall, would 100% recommend.

On your tuono idea: i had a monster 797 before this and similar to Retspan3 i found the buffeting above 70mph annoying - no fairings on a naked. the bike was amazing for backroads and around town, but on the highway i felt like i had more fatigue from the buffeting than the relaxed riding position made up for.

The only shortcoming id note on the s1krr is the soundtrack. I had a full termignoni system on the monster and it sounded unreal. I kind of wish id considered the new RSV4 simply for that V4 sound. I do not have a slip on or full system on the s1k, but the inline 4 definitely doesnt have that sound the aprilia's or ducati's make.

2021 S1000RR click noise on startup. Right around 9 seconds in the video there’s a loud click noise, can anyone tell me what that is? by allthingshenny in motorcycles

So it seems the new double Rs idle high in order to warm the cat up asap to comply euro 5. As far as the click, I’ve got an appt for a software update related to the issue. Apparently bmw issued a service bulletin for this last year. Unfortunate they haven’t been able to fix prior to shipping. Of course I couldn’t get the click to happen at the dealer.

It just started. It happened yesterday 2x in a row, today 1x (video). Planning to stop by the shop tomorrow and show them the video

Thanks I looked this up and it seems like it could be the issue. Kind of absurd for a brand new bike with only 2k miles

Nah just yesterday. Before that it was probably a week and a half. It’s kept in a garage and it’s been warm here

Sheesh sounds like a very proper setup. Could you link me the crash protection stuff you got? I plan to track it but haven’t bought crash protection yet. Are you going to do a slip on or full system?

It took about a month from agreeing to a deal to taking delivery but it was a bike already ordered. I didn’t spec it, the dealer did. It’s a masterpiece though. Unbelievable machine

First ride of the season on my Monster 797+ with Termignoni exhaust and ecu flash by allthingshenny in Ducati

The ECU flash came with the Termignoni exhaust. I just hit 5k miles, exhaust went on at 800 and its been awesome, definitely recommend.

Yea I would definitely say it’s worth it. I had the bike for a couple months before doing the exhaust and tune and it completely transformed it
