Man that sucks but I'm glad you let us know. Looks like from your other Vids the bike is back up and running well. I was out at MotoGP as well, but didn't get to do much riding out there either as someone hit me on my Aprilia shortly after we pulled into town. The good news I just picked up my new 23 S1kRR(luckily not from BMW Woodlands) and while I miss the Tuono, this is an incredible machine. I'm in your neck of the woods(you probably don't remember but I met you at a bike night several months back) and so I appreciate you letting us know about that shop. I almost bought mine from them and while it may not be their fault, a heads up would've been nice before they did that. No idea how my dealer will be with mods, but based on your experience I'm leaning towards not tuning it for now. Thanks again!

[@BMWBRO]

Congrats brother I think i remember you and sorry about the aprilia. You made the right call, going BMW and staying away from the woodlands especially. See you soon 🫡💯

[@retiredtk]

The dealer can’t void your warranty. Only corporate can. Not to mention it’s illegal just to void a warranty for any mod on the bike (Magnusson-moss warranty act). They probably just tell people that and hope they go away. BMW only makes a low rate for warranty work so if they can charge you for labor, they make a lot more. A lawyer would tear them apart FYI.

[@BMWBRO]

Thanks bro yea they said it was HQ in Germany but doesn’t matter now anyway she’s fully modded and running great

Another CLUELESS TARD ... JHChristmas

It may not be the coil's fault. The description states open circuit, which could be anywhere in the circuit (see: harness connector-after all, that was the last thing that changed/harness replacement by dealer). Also, of course BMW can tell, BMW has a few bucks to throw at IT guys to write code. Personally, I would never, and have never taken any of my vehicles to a dealer or a repair shop. I am the only service/repair department my vehicles have ever seen. Get the FSM for your vehicle, set yourself up with whatever diagnostic system you need for the vehicle, and DIY. I'm not like everyone though, I enjoy wrenching. Along the way though you learn a lot of general principles that can be applied pretty universally amongst different manufacturers. I wouldn't consider the loss of the warranty a negative, but I've never cared about a warranty. All you really need is a good code reader, whether it be generic or specific to vehicle/proprietary (e.g. my $3k Xentry system I use for both of my late model Mercedes, NDSII for my Nissan, or MelcoDiag for my Panigale), and you're good to go as long as you have some common sense and mechanical aptitude. The coil fault is peanuts, and it's why you're throwing a cat code. No big deal! You got this! Just don't run that cat rich for too long before you decide to do the work!

[@eddiecruzen3124]

Since you have the gs911. Try do a adaptive relearn on the throttle controller and the quickshifter. I had the same fault light after i did my tune.

[@lordgrim3415]

nice info vid learned a lot

[@rene7843]

Allways when i hear Problems about the rr its BTuned and in America. And ofc if Someone change Engine stuff on the system, bmw will allways say, u Changed the Engine setup, how can we be sure u dont overtune it or do stuff which is just Not Good for the Engine. Its totaly normal. If u do it on Honda or ducati or whatever and Ride on the Track with any tune which is Not from them they will always decline warranty 100%

[@Chris-vq5vr]

Yes correct. It’s always BT in America. I’ve been told they increase the rev limiter which in turn puts more pressure on the engines internals. Fairly simple stuff

[@ITS.ME.OG.14R]

Good luck BRO, yah dealers do anything to get out of working on stuff. Great customer relations. deff want a bmw now! smh just fix it bmw!

[@carlmayer691]

WHOA what the Bro did his VOID HIS WARRANTY by installing a Bren Tune software upgrade.. PERIOD get it understand.. BMW will allow you to do your own 600, 1200 mile warranty work.. oil change check this that.. if you provide proper reciepts .. But when you download new performance software that RAISES YOUR REV LIMIT .. among other parameter changes .. YOUR DONE.. It appears that they disregarded the fact BRO was committing what basically amounts to FRAUD by installing, then removing the BT software BEFORE taking in for warranty work.. several times.. and I KNOW that the manufacturer once they saw the amount of times you pulled this stunt said ENOUGH and voided his warranty.. Why should they pay because jackoff in his garage mucking around w/ downloading zeroing out performance tunesscrewed up his engine, electronics ...usually w/ most manufacturers ECU .. it becomes corrupted after only one or two downloads..But BMW has one of if not thee most sophisticated software in the motorcycle biz..so lucky BRO didn't destroy his ECU. So your comment is asinine. obvious you know nothing about how this all works.. so to you too VERPISS DICH sport ..

[@tox_rocket]

I had the same issues. BMW here in Austin replaced the coil and plug shaft. Along with all the plugs. No issues since. But it was also done under warranty. BMW voided your warranty because the bike had been Brentuned?!

[@MRR-qv3bw]

The dealership sounds like the 🍆 in this situation!

[@BMWBRO]

Hey BRO. Yes they did the plugs the last time but will do them again. Yes they uploaded the data to Germany and the krauts found the software had been modified 6 times when there was only one new version since purchasing it. The right test will be to call another dealership in ~3 months and see if the warranty is still active 🙃

[@MR-vt3np]

Basically Mother Ship cancelled the warranty not the dealership. Every time the bike is plugged in the dealership the data is transmitted to Berlin. There is already a ban in the EU regarding engine modifications, exhaust etc. That will save a few penguins, all to do with emissions.

[@mizz079]

The coils is a know issue. All the money BMW has the need to Step up their RD

[@BMWBRO]

Seriously. But I had 2 go out with the Brentune stage 2 and none since I removed it 🤔

[@808Motorrad]

Did you hit up Brentune for any advice? Seems like the dealership would have to show how the tune caused the failure to void the warranty.

[@slothking3756]

Did you just say hit up Brentune?😂 yeah, good luck with that.

[@Naldo_S1K]

​@@slothking3756I've never had a problem. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@nunyabidness9257]

The reality in the business of motorcycles is that if they continue to restrict bikes in software to meet government restrictions, people will reflash them to get the bike they really paid for. It’s not reasonable for a company like BMW to design and engineer a bike that works best with no restrictions, but has to be restricted to sell in some markets, knowing that virtually all of their customers will reflash the bike to get what they paid for. This will definitely stop me from buying a BMW…. Which is unfortunate because I am in the markey *RIGHT NOW* for a bike like the M1000XR and the R1300GS.

[@BMWBRO]

Hey BRO. Those are both great bikes. Really like the XR line and the 1300 has so many configs. Don’t dodge BMW altogether. Just know the more you tink with any of them the more likely they are to give you grief. No matter what get yourself the GS 911.

[@abitoffcenter383]

So basically that little tool is like my Snap-On OBDII scanner? Well f*** a duck, that blow Bro!! It's situations like this that sorta pushed me into becoming a mechanic. I was 16 and took my first car to get work done. After moving out of state I discovered that I was ripped off. $600 down the drain. Back then $600 was quite a bit of cash for a teenager. Anyway, You'll get things figured out. Got faith in ya Bro!! I've got zero experience in working on bikes. But given it's an internal combustion engine, once you break it down into the three parts of what's necessary to make it run. It's can't be that hard. I guess the hardest part would be having the right tools to do it correctly would be the hardest part. Especially for your average DYI person. Although given this is were the BRO's are, there's no such thing as average here. 😉😁😆

[@Juror63]

Did you have to pay Bren tuning to reinstall the tune? I read that tunes were a one-time use. 😢

[@BMWBRO]

Just reach out to them they are good guys and will take care of you one way or another. Use code BMWBRO if you haven’t bought a tune yet. Ride safe BRO 🫡

[@Mr_everything10]

Wdym by slipping throttle? My 23 was going limp when I’d pull the throttle and it would come back out of nowhere.Took it in and yes they also let me know that my bike was tuned like 9 times even tho I tuned it like 2 times haha. Ended up being bad camshaft switch. Now it’s good tho

[@BMWBRO]

Right on bro ride safe 🫡💯

[@Mr_everything10]

@@BMWBRO appreciate it but what do you mean by slipping throttle?

[@BMWBRO]

Hard to describe but my other videos document the issue. Feels like riding through a puddle at high speed where it just drags for a sec. All better now 😎

[@tonyharding5336]

My s1000xr had a catastrophic engine failure due to a known engine fault that BMW have documented but because I never had a full main dealer service history they basically said not interested, never buying BMW again expensive shite

[@BMWBRO]

Bummer BRO. Hope you got something good.

[@lazperez979]

Do you know if the failed parts were a result of the tune?

[@BMWBRO]

That is an excellent question BRO 🧐

[@lazperez979]

@@BMWBRO yeah I had a stage 1 Brent took it off because it shaved about 60 miles off my total fuel range on a tank. I was getting 99 miles on a full tank. They say your supposed to lose 5-10% fuel economy but I lost way more.

[@danielmcnamara6642]

Can you remove the rev limiter on break in with this

[@BMWBRO]

Negative bro just for diagnostics.

[@danielmcnamara6642]

Cheers bro, love the vids stay safe

[@goodboyringo9716]

NICE TOOL , YOUR IGNITION COIL IS BAD ON #3

[@racex3721]

Hate to hear that bro maybe you were running to rich id check the spark plugs.

[@BMWBRO]

Good idea 👍🫡

[@ravenmoto310]

These coils are an ongoing issue, they are garbage! They keep using the same coils when replaced, no upgrades as of yet.. BMW knows the coils are shit and should replace them under warranty regardless.

[@BMWBRO]

Amen brother. Keeping a spare at all times 🤌

[@MRR-qv3bw]

They legally can't void your entire warranty just because you have tuned the bike!

[@BMWBRO]

Hope you are right but for now we are breaking up. 🔪💔

[@Ed-lz4jv]

shit like this makes me want to dump my F750 GS

[@nitrousninja882]

BMW's are expensive, so people figure they are getting something that is a cut above the rest. All my friends that have owned Beemer's have had problems with them, costly fixes I might add. Japanese bikes seem to be much more reliable. Good luck with your bike, however!

[@BMWBRO]

💯👌🙏👍

[@oSnapMillerTime]

Man you make me never want a BMW

[@BMWBRO]

Sorry BRO. Some channels only post the good parts of the bike life. Malfunctions are unfortunately a combination of putting down a lot of miles on brand new bikes But dont worry.. she is already back in the garage with mods and running better than ever.

[@BMWBRO]

Man sometimes I feel the same but then this… #shortsvideo

[@gofastmoto]

@@BMWBRO My R1 started dropping power all of a sudden on the throttle then suddenly stopped doing it. Bikes have a personality of their own.

[@johncadogan9450]

You tuned your bike 6 times your obviously revving the shit out of it all the time,I would void your waranty as well, what did you expect.

[@ravenmoto310]

Why would having the bike tuned mean you are revving the shit out of the bike? Thats total nonsense!

[@BMWBRO]
