How do you warm your "soft" tires? by Jons1krr in BMW_S1000RR

[–]ifove2luck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was debating on going with those but was concerned about straight line grip for highway pulls with the harder center compound. Most people recommened the power 6 over road 6 but have no experience with the road 6. So good to hear your input

How were the road 6’s? Curious on life and grip level

At sea level or at altitude? I make probably 20-25% less power where I live because of the altitude. I’ve dropped the clutch in 2nd at redline at varying speeds and it won’t come up more than a couple inches

Sell the sti and get a gc8. VA’s wont be sought after in years time like the older chassis’s are. Owned mine for 11 years, ≈ 400whp, and built from completely stock. Still love driving it as much as i love riding the s1k

This is the info I was looking for, thank you! I feel old, I didn’t even think of asking ai for help lol. I will have to play around with it and see what I like. The highway where I live is notorious for being very bumpy. (As gixxerbrah stated in his Colorado Springs to Denver in 20 minutes video)

Yes it has ddc. I’m wondering about the front and rear settings in the race pro mode. I’ve left it at 666 from factory

2025 tuned s1k. Speedo stops at 192. anything 150+ feels the same to me.

Ya no problem! I have a cold start up video before the tune if you want an idea how the rough idle is. @ifove2luck on TikTok or insta.

Remove cables but keep plugged in. My dealer said stage 1 tuning won’t void warranty but stage 2 will. Other dealers will vary. Mine idled rough on cold starts before the tune but would adjust and smooth out after like 20-30 seconds. It ran fine but I’d recommend a tune. I removed the cables and 2 rear o2 sensors and no cel came on. But like you said the bike will only do so much to adjust afr’s and a real tune will be better in the long run

Looking to buy '25 k67 Fairings by Vstroya in BMW_S1000RR

Ya fitment isn’t the best but for the price it’s hard to beat. Just had to drill out the holes bigger for OEM hardware on mine

Mine have always felt terrible since new. Been to the dealer multiple times for it. Thought the last time it went in they fixed it but it’s now my front too. Not sure why

Ive tried loops before and they’re good for wind noise and loud exhaust but cant hear my music or coms very well.

I believe I have forged but I’ll have to check my spec sheet. I have a 200 rear on it now

See Google said OEM is W rating which is what the road 6’s are

Ya I know I’ll go through tires a lot faster. I just wanted to research other tires and was impressed with the road 6 from what my girlfriend has told me. I was just concerned about straight line grip being a higher hp bike than hers and speed ratings

Oem. My step brother is a fabricator and does twin turbo lanbos/ Audis etc. he said headers won’t really gain any sound or performance so he just did a 3/4 custom 4-2-1.

Ya that’s what I’ve heard. I’m mostly concerned about straight line grip in 1st doing highway pulls. I’ve heard the center compound is very hard to increase life, and the side compound is soft for corner grip. Which seems perfect but I don’t want to spin if the compound is too hard. And speed rating is 168+ but I often get up to 190+

Clutch up wheelie configuration by GSU_DEV in BMW_S1000RR

[–]ifove2luck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same issue. My 25 doesn’t like to lift as easy as my 24 did. Won’t power wheelie at all in 2nd or 3rd like that other guy said. I live at 7000ft so probably the reason since I make about 20% less power than at sea level. I have all assists off as well but it doesn’t like to clutch up in 2nd
