Hi, I was having problems with passing the noise level test at Castle Combe. 105db at 75% measured at 0.5 of a metre. The bike came in at 109db. Given that it is my local track all very frustrating. Then I had a chat with Mark Lumb at MADASL racing and he sorted it ! I will post pictures...

Monday was freeeeeeezinnnnng ! But it was interesting how much grip there was even on v cold track temp.. As for summer .... What's that ?

Just back from CSS where I met Bananaman, actually spent most of the day being overtaken by him lol. Hi Bananaman! Yeah it's expensive but for me it was really worth it really is good value for money. Much more in touch with the bike and lots to think about. Both level 1 & 2 great days was...

Hi I started a similar thread on db levels at Castle Combe. My bike failed at 109db (outside the shed) they require 75% of max rpm which is 10500 on the S1000rr .... Am looking for a db killer plug or baffle to get noise down... Worried about ECU or other changes that need to be made any...

Thanks not running PCV so ECU should be ok.... I looked on line and there are a couple of company's Db dawg killers for example that produce db killer plugs... Any thoughts? Otherwise will get a baffle knocked up want something relatively easy to install uninstall. Any recommendations on...

For the record and to add to your list. Castle Combe test limit is 105db at 75% of max RPM 1metre at 45 degree angle. My S1000RR 2012 was at 109db. Does anyone have any ideas on exhausts, silencers etc etc or do they all effect the mapping so much as to be useless?

At Castle Combe they test at 3/4 max revs so at 10500 with 45 degree angle 1 metre I was at 108db...maybe even 109db . Are there any non stock kits like the arrow silencer that would bring the noise down ?

Went to castle Combe for sound test ... Failed the test with 108.5db at 10500rpm the limit is 105db.... Was in rain mode... Any ideas on reducing the noise ? This was on a stock exhaust ...

Cheers for that , and the rain mode tip which makes sense will let you know how it goes. I've Ben on a Daytona 675 it was a hoot. See you up there one day thanks again

Hi I'm taking the S1000RR up to Castle Combe for a track day. Has anyone taken the bike there and passed the sound test ? I ve a BMW stock exhaust but need to know if it will pass. I think the test is 105db at 6500rpm but I'm not Sure... If you know it would help thanks

Thanks for replying that's great and helpful, had triumphs before and they eat oil .... Will monitor but useful to know ... To be clear I haven't needed to add any at all, it was just to ask what to expect .. Ta ..

Hi just picked up the bike today AMAAAAAAAAAZZZZZIIING ! One question if I need to add oil during the first 600 miles running in is there a specific type or grade I should use. I have some Castrol Power Racing .... Any advice ? Thanks ;D And did anyone need to add oil before the 1st service?

Thinking of ordering the blaze saddle bags for the bike, standard exhaust system so should be ok. Anyone have these or used them? What do you think ? They look like a good piece of kit but ? Also anyone used the BMW oem tank bag is there a better (ie quicker alternative) the attachment bar looks...

Picking up BMW S1000RR next week, just loved the demo ride. Part exchanged Daytona 675R great bike but the ride position compared to the S1000RR no comparison, blown away by the power too!
