1000 Mile Review 2024 BMW S1000RR M Package

[@th33ng]

12:15 stop thinking about dislike things, there are no more. Just a perfect 2024 machine I swear ❤

[@Ryem3]

Guess I need to do my own review. Couple of tips. Nobody mentions hill hold. Much better than heated grips! Very convenient when stopped at any slope. Amazing innovation. Have you played with the preload? Changes the ride- might be ok for you. 1000 miles and you’re not in race pro mode??? You fine tune everything. AND the only way you get enhanced exhaust sound is in race mode or using race pro mode . In race pro you get the comfortable ride with more responsive throttle, etc. and enhanced exhaust sound. At least some pops!

[@SemperFi_0311]

Not that hard to hold down the rear brake on a hill.

[@element7us]

I never use race pro modes. The main reason I bought the bike was for its connectivity to my iPhone. When race pro is on you cannot use any of the useful road features i.e nav, media

[@Ryem3]

@@element7us really??? I’ve heard those are totally limited anyway. You only get turn by turn on the display and are you really taking calls while riding?

[@redrider0151]

@@element7us I have mine in Race Pro mode and still have all functionality?? It simply gets added as one of the mode options on the throttle side button?? You remove one of the factory ones and put Race Mode there instead....no functionality is changed that I can tell. I dont use the turn by turn, but the media works and is connected to my helmet...

[@Ryem3]

@@SemperFi_0311 ​​⁠of course not. I’ve got a GSXR 600. But it’s sure easy to use hill hold that automatically releases! It’s also easy to use the throttle in the freeway but a dream to use cruise control

Almost 18,000 miles on my 2022 S1K not one issue. It’s at the dealership getting its 18k service. They are being really slow about almost 2 week now. I don’t know why it takes this long for a service.

[@markettradinggenius]

Bro, it shouldn't take that long for any service. Two weeks? Thanks but no thanks. I wouldn't get the bmw if they are that slow. Or, if I did get one, I would make sure that there are excellent master bmw mechanics with their own shop and business that could do it for me in the same day ! I didn't even have that issue with my 2023 MV Agusta Rush 1000 Limited Edition. Went in for my major first service, came back out less than 6 hours later !!! Not a single electrical or mechanical issue with my bike. Just bought my wife a new MV Agusta Mamba Edition that she loves out of this world...

[@fathertimencUSA]

@@markettradinggenius First service is just an oil change and unlocking it. The 18k service is the valves , plugs, fork oil replaced, but I agree shouldn’t take this long at all.

[@redrider0151]

Its because dealerships nowadays only have 1 qualified mechanic and 3 morons who can only do oil changes. So that 1 guy gets ALL the work that actually takes any skill and the dealership makes 150 dollars an hour on the other 3 guys.... Its QUITE LITERALLY how every service department in the country operates now...even HD is the same exact way. My local BMW dealer has 1 guy....1 freekin guy that is worth a damn....

[@curtfleischhauer3091]

The M Seat is made thinner than the stock seat with the purpose of providing more feel and feedback to the rider on the race track. So, the rider can get a better feel of how the bike is performing on the track. My suggestion would be to buy the stock seat for $500.00 and use it for street riding. You can always put the M seat back on whenever you want to take pictures 📸 The stock seat is definitely more comfortable as it has more padding.

[@cyclefanatixsport]

Good idea

[@precisionxfilms9784]

Just totaled the same bike at 4k miles, bike had a full aarow titanium exhaust and was the best bike I’ve ever ridden, car cut out in front of me at a intersection sadly

Awesome to hear - I am 6'5, and I have had trouble finding a 1000cc superbike that was comfortable. The s1000RR has been on my shortlist.

[@tph122951]

[@LoveBikesDorel]

4900 miles on my 2023 one that is actually the same as 24z .i chose the carbon wheels and also removed the cat and been tuned. I had zero faults with the bike. Always started no errors always predictable and fast as it can be 🤘

[@speedscorpio]

Great if you love the s1000rr but bmw knows there will be issues right out of the crate on this bike that's why they give 5 years warranty and if anything does go wrong, parts can be a long wait. I have ridden it and wasn't impressed. For the price you pay for the s1000rr I got the new ninja zx10r comes with brembo brakes, titanium headers, and took out the cat put a mid pipe with the akra carbon exhaust, asv levers, wrs screen, bonamici rearsets etc and still am under what I would have paid for the s1000rr. The zx10r is one of the most comfortable out of the litre bikes. Japanese quality and reliability can not be beat, still.

[@robwinter3183]

Agree - nice bike - not sure I can justify the price. +/- $30,000 ?? wow.

[@THUNDERBOLT_956]

Have the same bike just took it in for my 6,000 mile service no problem yet she runs great 👌

[@SamDukez]

Seat for sure. I ended up getting the wunderlich seat with the red strip. Matches the bike perfectly and adds 1.5 cm of height. After you do the flash, I would recommend going to washington cycle and tuning the preload to your weight. It's a whole new world after that. Also, you don't get the most out of the bike unless you use race mode 1,2,3. Tailor them to different things for example road, track, etc. Plus if you adjust the preload like I suggested you can only alter the suspension in race mode 1,2,3.

[@cyclefanatixsport]

Good idea, Washington cycle is one of the best

Agree with everything except to add the giant hole in the mid range power is a huge 👎🏼 . BT Stage 1 is on the horizon. Hopefully it fixes it.

[@redrider0151]

To me the giant hole up to 8k is almost dangerous...the way power suddenly hits, vice being a linear power band....its sucha. HUGE increase all at once, the second you cross 7-8000 rpm....its stupid. Cant wait to get it tuned. I bet the throttle is limited to like 20%....

[@redrider0151]

The reliability issues are with the M motor....I believe break in on the 2 ring pistons is a LOT more critical...and I also think they may have a bearing issue with that motor, as there are more than just a few that have had failures, not just Motomillion and Carwow.....Calimoto was a rod failure on the S motor like yours, but thats the only one I have heard about on that motor.... I own an M so I have been very diligent to not do anything that voids warranty yet. Also, onthe S motors, you have all the clowns rev-bombing the dog crap out of them and then whining that they have problems and expect warranty to cover it...dude, redline exists for a reason....warranty isnt there to cover obvious owner abuse, its there to protect from DEFECTS :D Your bike will be FINE John, as you take care of them!!

[@jasonisdn]

yeah BMW took my '23 due to the rods having issues with the heat treatment process being a failure. They delivered a '24 to me 5 months later. So far 1821 miles and no issues, changed the oil yesterday since it's been slightly over 1,000 miles from the break-in oil change.

[@RadDadisRad]

Unpopular opinion. An engine should be able to run the same at 2 minutes old as it does if it was 200 hours old. Any race shop will agree tho.

[@taylorv4]

@@RadDadisRad 200 hours isn't a lot? Or are you commenting on the break-in period? Break-In is more or less an extra step of security. 200hp+ on a liter is insane, not even the new 2024 zr1 has a better hp to size ratio. If you talking about age of the motor shouldn't degrade it, it does. All motors degrade over time. Top fuel dragster motors are basically fried by the time they get to the end of the quarter mile.

[@markettradinggenius]

Fastrrak, which one would you rather ride for 300 miles; this bike or the hayabusa? Lastly, based on your experience now, which quick shifter is smoother; this bike or hayabusa?

[@TheMotoRockers]

@@redrider0151 Let's just forget how the clutch gets engaged.... the issue I have with the clutch is that it has almost zero friction zone. My ZX10RR lets me feather with ease. When I looked at the S1000RR (before I bought my Ninja) - the clutch was so sensitive... it was either totally engaged or disengaged. I didn't like that.

[@redrider0151]

@@TheMotoRockers If you put stiffer springs that may help....I would guess that is the difference you are feeling, as a stiffer spring would change how the engagement feels...it would "tighten" it up.

Don't understand why the 1000rr or M1000rr do not have Ohlins for their suspension and Brembo for their brakes. You would think they'll add these premium components for performance. I have a friend who owns a 2023 1000rr M package, I'll be test riding it this weekend to see what all the excitement is about.

[@redrider0151]

Profitability...they got a better margin from Nissin and Marzoochi (or whoever is making them). I own the M1000RR and I can tell you that on the street you are never going to know the difference between Ohlins and the M series brakes and suspension....they are fantastic. On the track, MAYBE you could tell a difference, but its going to be very small.....I also own a Ducati SP, and I could never tell the difference....other than looks...

[@harriscruz8452]

I haven't ridden the S1000rr, I too have a Ducati - V2 panigale and a rsv4 factory. The handling and breaking are on point with both bikes. I like the esthetic design on the M1000rr, but I seen a review that said the rear suspension is prone to having problems.

@@jimineye5352 denying a claim is different from voiding a warranty. An ECU flash doesn't void a warranty. The BT Moto flash is actually sold and installed at some dealerships.

For example, if you don't tune it afterwards and your bike is running rich (which it will be) and you burn a valve, your claim will be denied.
