Nothing but problems with BMW S1000rr

[@AFRO_KEEN]

Nobody wants to spend 20 grand for something that is broken. I agree with you.

[@Dansk55]

Can't imagine out of warranty and bad maintenance. Have an 07 zx10r that was tracked, rebuilt title, and currently at 30k miles. Not one issue in 10 years other than tires and battery. Now I'm rethinking getting a S1k

[@LonestarMoto]

The bike has given me zero issues since corrected, and as I said it wasn’t the bike it was the initial make ready of the bike.

[@SuperAdventureR1301]

Japanese reliability is simply unbeatable. I really want the S1000rr, but the amount of complaints i've heard about the S1000rr (aswell as blown motor videos) has me wanting an R1 instead, even if it is a little slower.

[@Saint_Maximus_III]

​@SuperAdventureR1301 every motorcycle brand has breakdowns. Bmws just need regular maintainance and after getting the common issue fixed at the start it will be OK for the rest of its life span

[@LSDdreams808]

My cousin has pretty modified zx010r that back beats every thing out there besides h2 an turbo busa.

[@N4CR]

Only weak point on the 10r you have is clutch baskets if you turbo them lol. I thrashed the crap out of mine in past.

[@mikemaes1006]

Man... I feel your pain. I got rid of my older s1000rr because of dealership and quality issues. I'll honestly never purchase another BMW motorcycle. Not trying to hate on that brand since I still have an r1200, but I do not get a good feeling with the brand.

[@LonestarMoto]

It is crazy how some dealers are just complete trash and could careless about repeat business.

[@mikemaes1006]

@LonestarMoto our local dealer fits this profile...

[@andyibbo9195]

sorry your having issues mate, I bought the same bike recently, rode it 3 times in the last 3 weeks, due to weather being poring the uk .... when I have ridden it I'm finding the clutch is awful, feels like its warn out, snags, then lets out all of a sudden, making me stall it sometimes .. plus the quick shift goes up but not down too. I'm very experienced rider so I know what im doing. yesterday decided to rid to the local BMW showroom, try the sat nav etc ... sat nav is crap, still saying turn left down my street 10 miles later ... every time I stopped it started refreshing to my current location. so very poor. Gets to BMW, the people in there didn't know how to work the sat nav 😆😆 and said come back another day when Chris is in lol ...... anyway Ive booked it in to be reviewed, they cant see the bike until end of September, the season will be over by then, so I cant help but feel disappointed with the BMW, after having many Japanese bikes, the German supposedly better engineering, quite simply isnt ,.......

[@tedcroft9318]

Just watched you S1000RR video, I purchased my S1000RR in May 2021, I had my first trip booked with my mates to visit Europe, 48hrs before the ferry was due to leaveI also had a warning light, BMW had. The bike back, ordered a new part for the air box and I collected it 14 hrs before I was due to go. Left the UK and traveled through France, day two , the engine failed , I had more oil on the outside of the bike than in the engine. BMW European assist were hopeless. Fortunately we have a support van that got me back to the UK. I refused to have the bike back and eventually BMW agreed a new bike. The new bike was run in by BMW all the extra parts were swapped over and my next European trip was due two weeks later, and after one week I had the same warning sign, they replaced that part and I managed to do the trip without any issues. Two days after returning back I decided to clean the bike and noticed the cush drive rubber had 12mm play in it, BMW then collected the bike and replaced the cush drive rubbers , took the bike out the following weekend, covered 140 miles . Cleaned the bike again and couldn’t believe The cush drive rubber had 6mm play already…. So, the bike has been sold back to BMW, one thing I will say, the dealer was brilliant and just as embarrassed as I was fed up.

[@LonestarMoto]

I can not believe that a company as prestigious as BMW is having so many issue with these bikes, Luckily since getting mine sorted I have not had any issues but I also have hardly driven it due to a busy work schedule.

Once mine finally got sorted it was fine, but it just really turned me off from BMW because the service was terrible

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

​@@LonestarMotoMy mechanic friend has a gold edition , 2017 kit S1000RR , and just minor suspension issues but fortunately good experiences otherwise . He tweaked it in his workshop to guarantee reliability though . My in - law had a ride of it at the dragway and liked the ergonomics . He normally rides a 2005 GSX -R 1000 .

[@colinoz]

The warnings that come up before the 1st service are false alarms apparently.

[@Ac22768]

Aprilia makes terrible motorcycles. I’ve had three RSV4s, two street bikes and one track bike. Aprilia has gotten plenty of money from me over the years. I fell in love with the handling and engine. However, they do not last and are piles of junk and the customer service is complete garbage. I’ve had two S1000RRs. Phenomenal. No problems. That’s not discounting your issues, but BMW is an actual company, with real representation and proper dealer network, unlike Aprilia’s piece of trash network and complete lack of customer service. Having said that, I’m sure your issues will be resolved by BMW directly or through the dealer.

[@colinoz]

A friend just bought a new one. He was told those warning lights are all false alarms and once the bike has its first service, after the break in period, software updates and restrictions removed, the bike will be fine.

[@MaverickM1]

That’s why I keep my god old S2R Monster. She has nearly 60k in odo and not a single issue so far. Only maintenance and it just works. Bikes/cars made after 2012 are rubbish.

[@gui7esp02]

Im sorry to hear youre having those issues with your bike, here where i live i know a couple of guys who own s1000rr 2019 and 2021 and their bikes have been a total mess, they both show basically the same issues as yours, i dont know whats going on at BMW with that specific model but i decided to move to KTM wich so far has been an excellent experience. Cheers from Costa Rica.

[@LonestarMoto]

Yeah I was very disappointed with it, after I got the problems sorted it was fine but by then I did not trust it.

[@pizzaparty-r1c]

When a tire pressure sensor goes off line, it activates fail safes for the vehicle, specifically high-performance bikes/cars. I had a rear left tire pressure sensor die on my Corvette C7 grand sport. When taking a curve above 70 mph, the right rear brake would apply pressure and cause a jerking motion. Was very annoying. Apparently the traction control was trying to stay synchronized and believed that the left tire was flat. My car has a brake control module that the brake fluid passes through. An electric servo applies separate and different brake pressures to each wheel for the traction control.

[@ASMODAY1K]

23k miles and 4 coil failures. At this point its cheaper to do it myself, because the time to take it in and wait is more expensive.

[@LonestarMoto]

Wow, that is definitely an issue!!

[@959pilot4]

I can understand the frustration. My V2 panigale engine went boom with 4k miles on it. They replaced the engine. Now it has a issue where ill go to start it when it's super hot it will sometime not start. Just give me a little click and nothing, no start or anything. I'll wait and try again and it'll fire right up. I'm guessing it's the starter. We'll im outta town for a few weeks for work and it's at the dealer. We shall see what they say. Sometimes we just get a dud.

[@LonestarMoto]

man it is super frustrating to spend so much money and have problems!! I have to admit I had zero issues with every Japanese bike I have ever had, so next round may be going back that way. My bike is fixed and running good for now but just left a bad taste in my mouth, I hope they get your bike sorted out.

Italian & German bikes….you gotta go Japanese: R1 or Fireblade. I’ve lived it as well💯

[@ultimatejoe71617]

That’s for sure I only would buy Japanese. It just a sure buy and great reliable. All the electronics are tested and made to last. Sure their have been some recalls. But my 2017 fz 10 is running great. Been a daily rider. I just keep up with maintenance.

[@LonestarMoto]

I have had several R1's and CBR's and they were great bikes, I just like to switch it up because I get bored!! honestly they are all great bikes.

[@Stephen-oy7fl]

I work for a BMW Motorrad dealer and we do have S1000RR riders of all types. This is what you need to know. Ridden as a commuter or touring bike (not that you would), it should last 75,000kms before an engine rebuild is required. Never go past 10,000kms for a dealer service. If you do a track day, say once a month, this reduces to 1000 kms or every track day. And it would be normal to expect a rebuild by 20,000kms. This is a highly stressed engine producing 210hp/ltr. It is not a bike for those without deep pockets. Its a race bike thats road registerable. It is not one to own as a daily rider. A Suzuki Hayabusa with 180hp from 1300cc is at 140hp per ltr. Thats 30% less engine stress. It's why a Suzuki will last a lot longer.

[@eduardoorellano2706]

I have a 2022 model too. Happy to say so far so good crossing my fingers though. I truly understand how you feel. Seems like all salesman are the same. Everyone’s your buddy up on till you start having issues. Then you can’t ever get a straight answer. If I was in your shoes I probably would’ve kept it at the dealer closer to your home. That way you can stop by and see what’s going on. Buy anyway hope everything turns ok. Im sure it will. BMW makes some motorcycle in the world 🌎

I totally feel your disappointment, frustration and anger, bought a brand new rsv4 factory, have the problem that the bike hits 7000rpm-9000rpm and it cuts off engine and dies but the feeling is quite scary as cars are right behind you, brought it twice and never have found issue it has 1500km, I did my research and found several things to pass on to the dealer like you said at that price range those type of problems should not a rise and should be treated as important, the customer service in all walks of life has drastically fallen. I am calling to make another appointment to try to fix the issue and stuck in same situation dealer is at a 4 hour drive. Just to tell you how bad dealer is the bike wasn’t even washed when I picked it up!

[@LonestarMoto]

It’s a shame that customer service is shit now!! And I feel you also because when I picked up my bike they didn’t wash it either and for whatever reason they sliced all the heat wrap on my fender eliminator and didn’t even try to fix it

I also own a s1000rr I bought all the software so I can delete codes renew service intervals etc. If you really like the bike maybe that's a good touted to go down. But I agree absolute bullshit it has problems from factory an the dealership is not accountable.

Sorry to hear about the issues. I got my 22 S1K in January and been enjoying it ever since. The dealership experience can really make or break the purchase.

[@sassythesasquatch4425]

BMW failing in the motorbike sector due to competition so they may have lost engineers and R&D talent to others who are fighting the market making new products. BMW simply either sells their bike to enthusiasts who do track day or the police and medical sectors because its bloody expensive bike. Your average commuter who covers average 30-80 miles daily wont bother with a BMW unless they go track day once or twice a month. BMW isnt a daily bike because i never seen anyone use their sport bikes as a daily horse and only rarely see their tourers being ridden for a weekend trip down wales or Scotland.

But now seems like them changing that one part which ran the Tire pressure sensor now seems like you need sensors in the wheels since you said you didn't have the TP system. But you should record everything and put it on youtube it would be good content.. Don't give up on KZbin they will fix it, they don't want to lose that relationship with BMW.

[@starfighter2952]

I believe that like the auto industry. The motorcycle industry has suffered from inferior parts due to covid after affects. Simply put, they couldn't get parts so they used what they could get. This way production and profits didn't suffer. And now, bikes are failing. These bikes won't be fixed by BMW because it would be out of their pocket.

[@kssouf]

I ordered my bike through Rallye Motoplex here in Canada. The worst dealer there is for service. As soon as you take delivery of the bike, you feel that the salespeople are slowly backing up out of sight; you can tell the service guys don’t care. This dealer has no respect for its customers, and it’s yours now, so it’s your problem mentality (which is an issue because they are the only f***king BMW dealer). I could write another 5K words here complaining, but I will simplify with my last exchange. The bike went in for a valve adjustment. It came back with a leaky head gasket. The second time it was returned running on three cylinders with a check engine light on. 3rd time I did it myself because I honestly thought it was coming back without a motor, lol. Each time it took 2-4 weeks because they are located far away, and they have to come to pick it up every time, which I am charged for as well. I know they don’t test ride or check the bike over because the LoJack on my bike never says it moves when it gets there. Honestly, i would avoid this place like the plague.

[@LonestarMoto]

It sucks when the service is great until they get your money and then they forget who you are, I guess motorcycle dealers dont care about repeat business.

Some of the bikes do have electrical gremlins but most don’t. I understand the frustration. It will all get sorted and if not you’ll get a new bike. My 2020 has basically been flawless with the exception of 2 coils went out basically around the same time just recently at around 7500 miles. Everything was replaced under warranty and done in a timely manner. Some dealers are better then others when it comes to customer service. Not sure if your break in miles are done yet but once you get that done, put a full exhaust and flash the ecu the bike is a absolute joy to ride. Don’t worry good times are a coming. I waited about a year to get my bike and sold two of my bikes I had to get this one and it was worth it

[@ctadrenaline]

@Hugh Jaanus unless asked for or it was installed before purchase, they will not come with a full exhaust that deletes the cat from factory. If that was the case then there would not be any restrictions in the ecu. That’s great when you bought the bike it did have a full exhaust though. Definitely saving some cash right there. The bike stock with the cat sounds pretty funny I gotta say but definitely restricts it bad

Also would recommend watching your video playback and checking the volume balance before finalizing it. I had to turn the volume up a decent bit to hear you speak, and then the into/outro nearly gave me a heart attack.

I have had issues with a couple of the videos sound due to the mic, sorry about that.

How is the bmw s1000 rr from 2015? İ heard they have engine problems or something (2008-2015)

[@LonestarMoto]

This is the only BMW I have ever owned

[@BlueRage]

Lots of problems. Lots of engines grenading. I think when they stole the K5 GSX-R 1000 they forgot to steal the reliability part. Search KZbin for BMW S1000RR engine blown.

I just got mine few weeks ago. I had the restriction put out after my 600m. Got problems with the quickshifter on the down shift. Will try it at the track next week and let you know if it work bether at higher rpm??

[@LonestarMoto]

I have noticed my quick shifter on this bike and much slower then on my Aprilia RSV4, hopefully yours works good on the track.

[@fabiennelavoie4117]

@@LonestarMoto I still have problem with it. IT's bether at the track but not perfect. I even have a recall for the chain tensionner, they have that problem since 2014, you will think they stop using the defect parts... Going at the dealer today, will see what they have to say about the shifter.

Bought a 2011 with 35 kkm on it, bike is perfect but sometimes when i give it full throttle it goes into limp mode above 7 k rpm, no codes whatsoever and the best mechanic in town said he doesnt know what to do with it, has anyone experienced this before?

I feel so sorry for you dude, 20k on a bike that's not working correctly, and it's a BMW, wow. I hate all the electrical gizmos new bikes have now, hence my 2002 gsxr, no rider aides to be seen, and if it does throw up an electrical fault, it's easy to repair 9 times out of 10. Old-school is the best school , hope you get the bike running 100%

I too was afraid before I bought my S1000 M package but my fears were unfounded - its been the best and most fun bike I have ever owned so just go and buy one.

[@LonestarMoto]

Mine is fixed now and should have never had the issues, as I have stated many times it was not the bike but bad service and make ready from the dealer.

[@mrCBR_rush55]

Bro, you can go buy the 2023 ! 👍🏼 im also very interested in the 2023. BMW has solved many problems since the first current gen of S1K’s (i mean since 2019). 2019 many problems 2020 many problems too but maybe a little less 2021 little less problems again 2022 few problems but not many at all Sorry for my english im french

[@foodmaniac9339]

But still the most preferred bike by all race teams and individuals. Best handling, least issues. Many victories. Cheap to maintain. Consistently been No1 in reliability for the past 10 years straight.

[@TenEight2023]

What dealer did you get it from in Houston?

[@LonestarMoto]

The woodlands premium motorcycles

[@Lar308]

Id hardly call two sensor warnings a big issue. These are complex bikes electronically. It seems the bike thinks its fitted with tyre pressure sensors which should be a simple thing to correct by the dealer. I have 7,200km up on my 2021 m package now with no problems.

[@LonestarMoto]

When it’s your bike you spent 20k plus on and you bought it 4 hours away and they are telling you that you have to bring it back to them then come to me and tell me its not a big deal.

[@tedcroft9318]

Had it just been the two sensor issues I could have accepted that … the engine failure .. and the two cush drive rubbers needing replacing within 2000 miles is pretty poor . Don’t get me wrong , when the bike works it’s brilliant , and after many hours of thinking what to get next, I’ve ordered a 2023 model that’s due in feb .

No just bad prep from dealer and bmw

[@EtaSoon777]

The lower fairing clip design at front of chin area is garbage. To separate the two halfs for oil change without the side which clip slides into without snapping off is nearly impossible. I know exactly how they attach. How to properly disconnect the slip together clip. Replacements are 370-390 per side. This is why so many are buying a single piece carbon fiber belly pan for $900.00. My salesman couldn’t use menu to pair Bluetooth communicator to my Cardo black for ride home. Foothills triumph BMW in Denver Colorado salespeople aren’t trained in the least. Worst buying experience ever. Your right. Ruins it. Crap when spending upper $20K. Can’t even demonstrate the TFT menu? Posers.
