BMW S1000RR Engine Fail DISASTER - Motorcycle Engine DISASSEMBLY Engine Failure (Part 1)

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

this is just the disassembly before scrapping it to show what's involved and what they look like inside. There's now a second video posted with a similar name except "Diagnosis" in the title to analyze some of the problems noted on the inside and possibilities for why it failed.

Hello i have a question can i put a ninja h2r engine in a bmw s1000rr?

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

@@tablokozhin1973 i would be absolutely shocked if any other manufacturer's engine would fit in that frame. each bike these days is so highly engineered and attachment points in the frame have to go exactly into those points in the engine. those points can't be modified much either as there is too much going on around them. even if you could do it, it would be a bad idea as you'd be going through too many headaches and devalue what you had in the process.

Takes balls to do this. Well done sir.

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

thanks, just nuts and bolts, right? when i built the engine myself, that was stressful trying to get everything perfect knowing my life was riding on it, but disassembling for this video was no risk. the guy that built it after me fcked it up so bad that it was a boat anchor already, and i was just trying to learn more in the process.

[@sunsail]

Phenomenal skill & abilities, for sure!

[@brianglendenning1632]

Thanks for the vid - I have a ‘17 R (so quite similar) and always interested to know how it works. Lots of good engineering it seems.

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

they are a highly engineered engine for sure! soooo different than the old HD or a chopper!

[@sohailawan3572]

Appreciate your efforts to spreading the knowledge thumbs up ❤

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

You're welcome, and this is how we all learn more!

[@ivanyalamov5109]

not having a single dislike says alot man ! great vid !

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

much appreciated! glad ppl are enjoying it as it was unintentionally very expensive to make!

[@andreaberetta6389]

Thanks for video ! I have a question... when reassembling the throttle body, how can it be aligned? Vacuum gauge or just PC? Thank you

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

I haven't personally gotten into detail of disassembly of the throttle bodies, but when i put the bike back together, pretty sure there is a function on the gs911 for throttle body calibration if i remember correctly.

[@pilyomotoride7781]

Can you recommend a service repair manual for dismantling s1000rr engine?

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

i used the dvd from the dealer when i bought it new in 2010, which was a well written service manual.

[@duran0784]

Was the top end seized, what was the failure?

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

the diagnosis video is kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioC4pJqcgceDgpY but looks like top end starved for oil and burned everything up. pistons were super sloppy and cylinders scored too.

[@MRR-qv3bw]

Awesome vid man!

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

Thanks, was a very expensive video to make for obvious reasons, but good learnings. i posted a diagnosis video as well looking at failure analysis of the components inside if you're interested.

[@ZababyBaby-jr3vx]

Hey hello I have a 2014 BMWS 1000 it has 0 compression in one cylinder and a 100% loss of compression and cylinder for do you might know what the issue is it has leak through exhaust valve and intake

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

sorry, thought i answered this earlier, but maybe not. you'll just have to bite the bullet and start taking it apart to checkit out, but only way i see a cylinder leaking is leaking piston rings or the valves

[@OthnielFarmer-bn2ie]

Did you make that engine stand?

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

no, i bought that. it's an alpha racing product. i don't recall the cost, but it made life a lot easier. i think i'm still a racer/dealer for alpha (germany), so let me know if you have trouble finding it

[@split317]

Amazing video ! Please make a whole series about this 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Is this the 2016 bmw engine btw?

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

Hey, sorry i just now saw this comment as it was held?? At any rate, much appreciated. This is actually the 2010 engine, but because it's ruined, the bike now has a 2018 engine in it that's awesome and turning 197 hp at the wheel! There is another video after this with the diagnosis at kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioC4pJqcgceDgpY There are also a couple on 10 years of modification part 1 and 2 with part 3 coming soon. enjoy!

[@menachemhasin]

Where can i get those CD's you mentioned? I'm trying to open mine and not doing well so far..

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

the cd for the repair manual is what i bought with the bike in 2010. not sure what year yours is or how long they made the cd manuals. no idea if new ones even offer the option or if dealers just have online stuff?

[@menachemhasin]

Mine is 2018 but singel R model. Anyway the hole engine look the same, the cover not opened after I realese the all screw as u did. I sow you use a rubber hammer, how hard you knocked on it? It seems like it's glued or something..

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

@@menachemhasin that's where the subjectivity of wrenching happens. If you've made absolutely sure all the screws are loose, then all that's holding it together is the gasket sealant. Just be really, really sure all the bolts are removed. Then, yes, a rubber hammer will help get it apart. What i do is work around the engine in different places to keep disassembly even. i.e. don't just bang on one corner, work your way around to keep things even. ideally, you want to put impact upward in the direction you're trying to pull it apart, not hit it sideways if you can avoid it. this can be a challenge finding places to pound with the hammer, but keep the motion upward. do NOT try to pry it apart. the idiot that screwed mine up did that and screwed up a corner edge with the prybar. if you do that, you might have problems getting a solid seal later when you reassemble it.

[@christianarias1538]

Where did you get that engine stand?

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

that was from alpha racing. not sure if bmw makes one too, you'd think they would, but this is an alpha. well worth it for that project!

[@christianarias1538]

Yeah! Need one of those now

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

@@christianarias1538 i just remembered, i can actually sell their products, so if you want a quote, let me know. I have to get it from Germany, so there will be shipping and VAT, so if you find a distributor in the US that already has them, it may be cheaper, but if you do need one, let me know and i can get you a quote.

[@845racingworks]

Where can one buy a engine stand for the S1000RR?

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

I bought this from alpha racing. I'm in the US, they're based in Germany, but i have an account with them. By your page name, are you located in Germany perhaps?

[@845racingworks]

@@NoLimitsNoRegrets closer than the US, I'm in South Africa. Have bought a couple of parts from them, just haven't seen the engine stand there, or I just didn't have a decent look. I know they sell one for the new model though.

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

@@845racingworks good to hear you've already bought parts from them. this one is for my '10, but the '18 engine bolted in my '10 frame, so i assume it covers at least that range.

[@OthnielFarmer-bn2ie]

Hi Ernst, did you get that engine stand? Im in SA too

[@sik_s1k]

My bike has nearly 40k miles and i went to change my oil today and out came what appeared to look like a metal tooth that would be on a cog ⚙️ piece, so this is about to be expensive i know 😒

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

that came out of the oil? ugh, that's really not good. lotsa gears, curious where it came from when you get it diagnosed.

[@sik_s1k]

@@NoLimitsNoRegrets yeah, it sucks, I’ll find out in about a month maybe if they get to it, even if they fix it, i should probably sell it bc other things might start giving out like that…

Messed around and took my 12rr out of timing and blew the engine.. 😢😢😅😅 While riding it sounded like a metal symphony playing all at once 😂😂 now I’m looking for a motor 😢

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

ugh, sorry to hear that. these are such a highly engineered engine, that they might be bet left alone as i learned the hard way too! hope you can find a good used one to swap it.

The timing chain alignment datums are "VERY IMPORTANT" and must be set to the fitters manual instructions so that the ECU CPU gets the right signals . My mate is a motorcycle mech and my late Uncle Patrick said it is crucial on cars as well . He was a racing tech for Holden in Australia . I learnt a lot from him . He restored vintage cars too .

[@jameswan670]

Seized at 245000 miles? I feel it is quite reliable engine. I heard 10-15 S1000RR engine has huge defect in connecting road and metal bearing.

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

oh no, it seized at 245.0 miles. this was not the stock engine, which is really good. this was a rebuild by a shop that has no business touching wrenches based on how awful my bike was abused. hadn't heard about the rod/bearing issue? agree though, in general these are a great engine especially considering how much power is pushing out of 1.0 liters.

[@mrpantur7280]

I bet a mechanic rebuilt the engine and not a engine builder.

[@NoLimitsNoRegrets]

not sure if you watched the part 2 of this video on the diagnosis showing how bad it was inside, but despite his claim of being an awesome engine builder, to even call him a mechanic after what i saw is an extreme stretch.
