Hi my dealer was happy to progress a replacement but I was fine with the fork replacement. So far so good. Still a bit of noise from the carbon front mudguard though. Cluncking definitely fixed. Will post again should I have any problems. I have done 1k miles on the new forks and a track day.

I have just about the same problem - battery dead after 2 days I am told it will need to be on permanent charge. Working with dealer to resolve - suspected no faault but tracker draining battery...

Just to add to thread - I am having front for problems too with an odd clunking noise noticeable at slow speed. On top of that I had the battery going flat in 48 hours. By chance I was in the garage and the bike turned on the dash all by itself no key and lit up like a Christmas tree.. back to...

Hi I am having clunking noises from 2020 RR do you mind me asking but did you ask fir a bike replacement. I am thinking of doing that asi have other problems too.

Thanks Stuart and good to meet you:-)

Hi Oli Thanks for the message. I am based in Hampshire. I do bit of all sorts really but I seem to be doing more and more track. Just had a great trip with Bahnstormers to Portamao - highly recommend that but I am loving the UK tracks too. Sunday runs down to the south coast and the local cafe...

I asked SC about the DB rating for their end cans and whether they had DB killers - Hello, I am wanting to buy one of your end cans for my 2017 BMW S1000RR. Could you tell me do any of the following cans have a DB Killer and do you know the DB at 6K RPM for each can with and without a DB...

Oh and by the way enjoy the new bike then - that will Greta for you:woot:

I paid ?607 from Calsport including postage. They seem to get really good reviews but I have not dealt with them before. See the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-S1000R-S-1000-R-2017-AKRAPOVIC-MOTOGP-TITANIUM-SLIP-RACE-STUBBY-END-CAN-/152767598398?hash=item2391a88f3e Boydy

Too late for me Akra ordered tonight... Austin racing looks good though and they have a DB killer as standard.

That’s great info and really appreciated. I rode Oulton this year and agree they are very keen on the noise limits. I will get the Akra but may be next year before i can comment on track access in the UK but hoping for a bit of Spanish track sun before that. Thanks again.

Great Jimmy and speak again then. Boydy

Jimmy, just swapped my Yammy R1 for the Bimmer. Came late into motorcycling - about eight years ago and love it. Track, touring and Sunday runs. My sons just passed his CBT and is riding around on his RC125 all KTM’d up. I guess I will get him on track with me next year and he will probably...

Thanks for the info. I was looking at the Akra short slip on and now you say its not much louder I think I might get one. Hoping to get on to track with it on... I think its a claimed 103DB which should just about make the noise tests. Will take a peak at the project too.

Hi Good to be joining the forum. Hope to contribute but I am new to the S1000RR so may take a while to have something to add. Looking for ward to getting some track time and sharing info here. Boydy
