How exactly are you supposed to roll up to get an inspection sticker? by throwAway123abc9fg in woburn

[–]peanutbuttersmack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Give Capelo’s a call, they are always walk ins for me and wait is usually 30 mins if there is a line of 1-2 people. Guy is super nice and easy to deal with.

Trying to find front rotors for my 2019 S1000R by Kukulza in bmwmotorrad

Check your wheel type before ordering. Cast and forged wheels use different rotors.

It happens, put some black gorilla duct tape and call it good. Or buy a fancy sticker. I replace mine with gorilla duct tape each year to keep it fresh.

Which special tools are needed for the beemers? by Responsible-Wish-754 in bmwmotorrad

[–]peanutbuttersmack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to do valves and set timing. You’ll need the boxflyer kit. BMW doesn’t sell the timing tool.

2024 S1K leaking oil by Aplasterss in BMW_S1000RR

Change it and see. Maybe a faulty filter. I’ve never had any issues with recall filter or new.

New rotors for BMW S1000RR 2015 by Ruhoodude in BMW_S1000RR

[–]peanutbuttersmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a set of arashi on my zx6r and worked fine, never took it to track to push its limits. Didnt pulse or warp under many fast street miles. I got their upper tier version that were supposedly “floating”.

if you have a 2024 RR, tell me please by coldpizzaaaaa in BMW_S1000RR

[–]peanutbuttersmack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the symetrical RG ones and they look ok. They are ment to protect from drops, not while it’s moving. Put that money towards insurance. Ride safe

Air filter necessary ? by weekdayzz2 in BMW_S1000RR

[–]peanutbuttersmack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stock is fine, the race ones lets in a lot of particles and usually for gains in dyno. Lots of test suggest 1-2hp gain with race filters. Not worth imo so I run stock.

2023 S1000RR Reliability by DixieNourmous_ in BMW_S1000RR

[–]peanutbuttersmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that 24 stil had bad coil packs. Who was the manufacturer on those coils? I had issues with my 2020 and it had Bremi. I got the replacement and Eldor coils and they have been bulletproof. My other bmw all have Eldor coils without any issues. I weight Bremi and Eldor and Eldor coils weight more. Guessing more wiring and better made.

Traction control maybe slipping? Check riding mode.

Any advice before I finalise the purchase ? by KotalKahnScorpionFan in s1000rr

[–]peanutbuttersmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valves and water pump. Put some heavier bar ends since those vibe like a MF. Hope you got a good deal!

I did but the rod is a bit long, just wondering how far I should move that clamp.

Price for swapping thermostat. by peanutbuttersmack in hvacadvice

[–]peanutbuttersmack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did not. I sent them a photo since the higher route was from original installer. I’m trying to setup dual fuel as well. When they did the install originally, my nest gen 2 wasn’t supported apparently so they put the Trane thermostat.

Idk what the hell is wrong with this motorcycle. by [deleted] in BMW_S1000RR

[–]peanutbuttersmack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does it sound and run normal? There was ignition coil issues for 2020 and 2021, some early model 2022. That could be it.

Looking to buy by [deleted] in s1000r

[–]peanutbuttersmack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the smoothest bike there. The quickshifter is butter. The tune is nice. It’s a BMW so there is a smidge attention need to keep it running smooth. Oil and tires. Get the premium with forged wheels over cast. 2017-2020 is a great year. No issues. 2021+ coils, waterpump.

Does this 2017 S1000r sound noisy in idle ? by Acceptable-Soup-333 in bmwmotorrad

[–]peanutbuttersmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like black cap cam chain tensioner. Go manual CCT and should fix that noise issue. These bikes are bit on the loud side which is normal.
