2023 BMW M1000R had Catastrophic Engine Failure Already

[@gorgeouscfso]

Coming here after watching the motormillion video. I did a search and it’s really shocking how many engine problems there are.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Crazy right?

[@themicson8393]

How many of those engine problems are from bikes broken in as stated by bmw? It would be nice to know just for context and balance...

[@ohwell2790]

I did too, shocking the poor service from BMW. Never owned one but for sure not now.@@CaliMotoTV

[@stilos4321]

Is that only the m1000 or s1000 as well

[@NinjaZXRR]

seems like a current popular youtube trend to see an S1000R /RR with blown motors lol

[@roccocarlino067]

My friends 2023 S1000RR same issue! engine failure looks exactly as yours. I own a 2023 S1000R non-shift cam hope these engines are ok

[@CaliMotoTV]

Haven't heard many issues with them🤞

[@armandblake]

And then you see squids going around with GSX-R somehow kept together with duck tape and still ripping it

[@CaliMotoTV]

😆 so true

[@mikemorris1465]

This happened on carwow recently, brand new from the factory they were drag racing it and the big end on the engine blew up

[@paulgibson490]

All the bmw 1000s always sound as if they are a lot of loose parts flying around in a tin can seen so many blow in races 😢

[@MRR-qv3bw]

@6:28 First off I'm sorry about your bike man. It looks like you would of been off the throttle when it threw the rod through the side of the case! I'm almost thinking a bolt or something broke causing the failure and not the motor starving for oil because of something getting clogged! I've got the 22 M1000RR Comp. and reading the title of your vid made me sick to my stomach! I am glad this happened to you now and not 1500 miles in or two years in of ownership. Please keep us updated on EVERYTHING because its platforms like yours that keeps guys like us from getting screwed when 💩 hits the fan! Thanks for everything you do.

[@djnickpeters]

I had a 2014 BMW s1000r that had cam lobe failure. I was the second owner and BMW fixed everything free of charge. Yes, I was still under warranty but BMW didn't bat an eye and took care of making the situation right. Only drawback (aside from the problem itself) was the time I had to wait for all the parts needed to do the repair. If I recall correctly it was about 2 months in total.

[@jeffh278]

They looked Bill up online and said “we got to take care of this situation now!!!!”

[@johnny749]

From what I've read Motorrad have one of the highest warranty and recall rates of all manufacturers not because they are inferior but because they back what they sell (nice to hear the new motor is on its way and looking forward to viewing a decent run on the track) keep up the great work.

[@obrienmills5713]

It's a f..king motor! It can be replaced. If it's built by humans it's fallible. Glad your safe Bill!

[@devious17]

BMW = Bring More Worries

[@Flakapief]

Damn i was planning on getting the m1k rr but now i think ill just go for the panigale instead…

[@adzventurerider]

Rod wouldn't have much to do with a tune. Specially brentuning as they don't raise the rpm limit that aggressive. Maybe a blocked oil channel or something. This is similar motor to s1000rr. So unfortunately just bad luck.

[@gixxie117]

expensive junk , get rid of it and get a japanese bike before engine failure.

[@CaliMotoTV]

But it already blew soooo.....

[@post-punkrider]

Good thing you were on the track vs the road. I sure plan to keep up with this update seeing how I want the S1000R

[@churchofbrap876]

In this video, Bill takes his frustrations out by ringing the S1000R's neck

[@motoken]

M1000R cannot handle a Wild Bill. just sayin

[@rrydinhigh2452]

Would I be "wayyyyyy off the reservation" by asserting the notion that: you "could have" been a bit more prudent in riding such a magnificent machine until at LEAST, 1000 miles? I mean BRUH!, what's your rush?!?!?!? Were you trynna win a $50K purse or pot for that track session????? WHAT were you thinking ma' man? -LMMFAO 🤣🤣

[@filiplaskovski9993]

Not the first person to have catastrophic engine failure

[@nvmy_m3]

Sorry that the motor blew. Glad a new motor is on the way. Did you have a chance to change the steering damper?

[@churchofbrap876]

I know u prefer euro bikes, but ever thought of switching to something like an MT-10? You would Probably never have an issue with one. Mine has been a gem for 7000 miles.

[@959pilot4]

Keep us updated. The motor on my V2 panigale blew up and it had a arrow exhaust. Ducati covered it.

[@vetteman4542]

I was torn between bmw s1000rr because I am an old guy..and ducati v4s.. I bought the Ducati.. that’s absolutely shameful.. enjoy your videos. Ty..Good luck Bill. Take care…

[@HardcityRaindrops]

If you hear a tick it’s gonna take a shit 😂 hope you get it fixed

[@Not.stationary]

that was an amazing track video too good

[@Kornholeeoo]

Seen this more than twice now. BMW has a bad machine in the factory or a disgruntled employee. Probably a bad or loose cam bearing.

[@jm4037]

Did you get any footage of the M1000 before it below? Would love to see it perform uncorked. Also, do you think Bren tuning is to blame? They have a negative reputation in the aprilia space from what I’ve seen.

[@CaliMotoTV]

I will have the first ride video up tomorrow

[@robertanna9964]

I have an S1000rr ((2012) that was recalled for this issue. The factory piston rods were replaced (under recall) with titanium. So BMW is well aware of the issue, having dealt with it before. I think they're just choosing not to deal with it this time and trying to avoid the enormous expense of correcting it. Blame the victim (owners) seems to be working for them.

[@Toofast821]

Did you break the bike in ?did you switch the oil at 1000 miles before you start hammering the bike ?

[@CaliMotoTV]

Did you watch my video from 10 months ago? Or did you just read the title, not watch this video or any of the others associated with the M1000R?

[@rjdasilva]

I hope it gets resolved without any complications.

[@NATESBIKERIDES]

Love from Scotland Bill!

[@masonthisquen3845]

I had an aprilia rsv4 2012 and I had a connecting rod fail in exactly the same spot as you at Buttonwillow. Hole in the case as well. 2nd gear, shift to third, kaboom and I went off track. Funny that we had nearly the same experience on different bikes.

[@roccocarlino067]

Anything man-made will have the potential fail, this has happened on the RR engine before. In any case BMW will be looking over the engine and will determine exactly the cause.

[@JustMeinYoutube]

I wanted this bike so much… definitely staying far far away from this crap of engine and the crap responses from bmw

[@MrDBramer1]

Sorry dude. Unfortunately you’re not the first one I’ve seen this happen to

[@donnievines8360]

A buddy of mine JUST had the same thing happen on his 2023 S1000RR. Hopefully they’re going to take care of him as well. I’ve got the 2023 S1000RR M Package, been worried sick about it happening to mine and now after seeing your video I don’t even want to ride it! Wondering if BMW is going to initiate a recall now.

[@calmdownwithbear6448]

Why he is trashing bike at 500 miles on odometer???

[@CaliMotoTV]

"Thrashing" any bike no matter the mileage should never put a piston through a motor!

[@BunnyandBman]

You had a tune on the bike and not to be a stinker but you may have a hard time getting that covered under warranty. I am heavy into Aprilia's and Moto Guzzi's and no way, the Piaggio group would have covered that with a tune. Good luck and I will follow this as I am curious to see how BMW will handle this. All the best!

[@CaliMotoTV]

The only way they can deny the claim is if they can prove without reasonable doubt that you're modifications cause the catastrophic failure if you have to fight a company like Aprilia and Ducati you shouldn't ride those bikes

[@leandrocintrao67]

How can you ride that fast while still having a conversation?😅 Do you prefer the s1000r over the sfv4?

[@CaliMotoTV]

I prefer the S1000R over the SFV4S

[@carplay5454]

i've known you since 2018. something always happens to your toys. glad BMW is sending you a new motor. looking forward to the next vid

[@onelifeliveit999]

in today's world, everything is super expensive, but everything is s.... i have one of these bikes coming next week. What a nice video to see about my new bike 😢 before i ordered the bmw S1000rr 2023, i had the triumph speed triple rs 1200 2022, which is totally a waste of money and a bike to just place it in the garage and look at it only now i will see what story have to offer me this one you purchase a bike to have fun with and you and up owning something just to keep you worried good luck brother hope they fix it by warranty for you 😊

[@avrc9285]

excellent video! thanks

[@jonkelly1920]

Sounds insane mate! Wow I’m definitely dropping the headers from my one 🤙

[@desmoboy]

Everything gonna be alright

[@billymania11]

You KZbin racers are always doing things for clicks but putting a tune on a brand new bike is extreme even for you guys. Good luck on the warranty.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Yup doing things for clicks is literally the point of youtube... and bmw honored the warranty and replaced the motor. Made a video of that, go click and see!

[@patrickcallahan2885]

Below the 600mi break-in period, aren’t you required to keep rpm’s down?

[@CaliMotoTV]

The breaking service can be performed between 300 and 600 mi per the BMW manual

[@rohithhnrohithhn9010]

hey is it because of exhaust? lv?

[@CaliMotoTV]

Nope, it was a mechanical failure of the stock motor.

[@ianglynwilliams]

You should use the sport screen so that we could see your stats while riding.

[@CaliMotoTV]

I think its the glare from the screen protector.

[@DukeFerg]

I wouldnt think the ticking would have been a foreshadow for the bike throwing a rod. These sportbike bmw engines tick and are monstrously loud when running, as I am sure you know. My s1000r sounds like a model t running and all have told me that is normal behavior lol!

[@chrisrobertson9264]

BMW gave the same answers with 2004 1150 rt Terrible abs system And the clutch spline issue BMW completely denied everything I’m done with bmw of today Plastic junk just like their cars My 73 75/5 was way better in every way back then if you were looking to ride a motorcycle around the world BMW was number one Not any longer Sad

[@fezdlix9709]

Wow just wow

[@JamesWilson-lg7bx]

I believe you said in your video when this happened that it wasn’t a blown motor as people were speculating what went wrong, curious why you said that since it was a blown motor?

[@CaliMotoTV]

I've never said anything about the motor being blown I simply said that I'm not going to blame anybody for what happened

[@creepy847]

Breakin for the bike is 700 miles before you uncork the rpm. BMW is probably going to say that you didn't follow your breakin procedure. They will be able to see exactly what was done in the ECU. I would suspect they will probably push back against your claim. I tend to follow the initial break in period before mods unless Ive got extra cash handy. Good luck Bill. PS: Just saw your post about BMW sending out a new motor. That's quick service Bill. Unfortunately our shop would not be able to react that quick. A BMW rep would have to come out, inspect the bike then push the claim which could take sometime. Very happy that you seem sorted out. Seems like that bike was built on hangover Monday! ;-)

[@CaliMotoTV]

So actually people are misunderstood if they read the BMW manual that is given to them when they buy their bike it states that the first service can be performed between 300 and 600 mi

[@5635randy]

Bought new Pamigale same thing they wanted me to pay 5k to fix or upgrade the new parts with old better parts they cheapened it and thing blows up. Sounds like BMW is same no one reason a 2024 GSXR750 in my garage.

[@CaliMotoTV]

What issue did you have with your panigale?

[@themicson8393]

@575 miles...Break-in is @600miles (mandatory break-in) ...In which you return it to the dealer for its first service and inspection. Plus, have the revlimiter removed. Why are you all getting these expensive bikes, which are equivalent to an exotic car... Then, being impatient, thus failing the bike. Then posting and complaining as if the bike failed you. You and motomillion are giving bmw every reason not to cover the warranty and look at valet warranty claims with more scrutiny.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Shouldn't they look at all claims with the same level of scrutiny regardless of who it is? Putting a piston through the block is far from an unsubstantiated complaint.

[@themicson8393]

@CaliMotoTV As experienced adults, we both know it doesn't work that way with insurance claims (I agree it should, maybe). The difference in scrutiny should be based on what was done or not done, not who it is. That said, my stock bike claim and your modified bike claim will not be looked at the same, especially when modifications have been documented on the internet. Furthermore, look how quickly your claim was handled, which is great. Still do you think that's the same for every customer? I mean Motomillion has a totally different experience, and I'm sure there are others.

[@jarnom85]

Piston through block is not break in issue. Break-in is there to make piston rings settle to cylinder wall, nothing to do with piston and rod come through engine block, thats failure of rods, bolts or bearings that do not need break-in. I have GSX-R 1000 K6, i didnt care about break-in's 18 years ago and went straight to the track, didn't break it in, still works perfectly because its build properly.

[@kneesparks]

I'd be tempted to put it all back to standard before you take it back to BMW. Then there no argument over warranty.

[@mylifeinnewyork5625]

you would of never had that problem with the streetfighter! sorry to hear about the bad news on the beamer! great bike!

[@motoroadrunner9589]

I love My s1000r but I also has slight problems I need to fix so I can tell since I can't aford to ride it. Poor 2019 just sits around. Susprised the m is so crap already. Also bmw should cover the engine for a malfunction

[@mcraeheard8213]

Let us know if BMW takes care of you or not! (Hope they do with apologies)

[@CaliMotoTV]

new motor is on the way!

[@tay5730]

@@CaliMotoTV Nice!!! Good to hear warranty is not trying to scape goat anything.

[@IOMTT2024]

Guarantee BMW blame it on the tune… They’ll say your warranty is void because of it.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Nope they have taken responsibility as it was a failed connecting rod

[@victorgonza4528]

We want to see the carnage man

Damn…. I’d be heated

Can hear the moment you forgot your pain,and just enjoyed the rip ,all Good in the end,the m truly is s beautiful bike,but you certainly enjoyed the other 😎I am sure BMW will make you ☺☺,inconvenience for sure,but I think overall after this little blip,you'll end up loving the m 😎great riding by the way 😉

Man I hope mine doesn't blow up. I'm gonna get it on Saturday or Monday depending on weather.

[@dadams1947]

OH NOOOOOOS!!!

[@hypermotardking]

German Engineering not what it used to be

[@jimhanle2971]

I think you’re screwed on the warranty. The bike is tuned and modified. I’ve been there and done that!

[@CaliMotoTV]

You are absolutely wrong. They are sending a new motor already@

[@allanschuster3520]

Great News Bill@@CaliMotoTV

[@hypermotardking]

Doesn’t work like that.. the manufacturer has to prove without reasonabke doubt that the modifications had a direct impact on failed part. We are better protected as consumers then you think.

[@Letsgetit1600]

What’s up bro

[@davidciesielski8251]

500 miles and at a track day.... That is on you,,,,

[@CaliMotoTV]

Track Day wouldn't do this. Learn about high performance bikes like these😉

[@aykutdurak3555]

BMW's are famous for their engine failure, K1200, K1300 are the same.

[@CESONER]

BMW knows the bike was flash tuned? Or tuned in any way, and sent you a warranty engine for free? Honestly?

[@CaliMotoTV]

The bike was returned back to stock prior to going back to the dealer, the dealer ran the diagnostic on the ECU and verified that the ECU had been written with some software but was stock at the time. Upon BMW's investigation they are sending me a new motor.
