Hi Dartanion, well I'm.........Keepin it dude. ;D

Hi AppleT, It's very high frequency, tingles a bit.

Well, I had the dealer check it out back to back with another S1K in his showroom, "exactly the same" he says. He also said something that I have never heard anybody say.... "the S1K doesn't have a balanced crank due to weight saving measures..... So I guess that's what you get. Other...

That's what they all say ;D ;D ;D

OK, I fitted the puppies a few days ago, I like the feel of a substantial grip, it reminds me of when I were a nipper sitting on an old English machine. I think they look OK, and they're very comfy. I'd say they stop the worst of the vibration which makes a hugh difference, I could def do long...

Cheers AppleT, I'm gonna get me some of those puppies, cheep and comfy, just like my missus!!! I asked the dealer, he said "YES they do vibrate a bit", I said "OK".... ;D ;D

Had the same grip for 33 years and it's never failed me, maybe I'm getting old and weak :-\

OH my God, what did you think I meant? ::) Just wondering who's got the biggest mileage. When I was thinking about buying another sports bike I was amazed at the mileage/make ratio. I looked a Kwaks and regularly saw 40k, then looked at Ducati's, who rarely went above 8k (and people still...

Just went onto the US forum, worth visiting cos there's so many more of them. They actually did a poll on vibration which shows that a large majority do have vibration, some being bad. However some have none. One guy had 2 identical bikes, one had vibs the other didn't. Gonna have to live with...

OK I guess it's normal'ish, I'm running it in after big end bearing replacement so am taking it easy, so lower revs which seems to be the un-sweet spot... Think I'm gonna investigate different grips and bar ends. Let you know if I have any success. Thanks all for your input, I love this sight...

If you MUST get one of the fastest bikes on the planet, the S1K is a good one, it's much less snatchy than my old ZX10R, and you could always stick it in rain mode for a year...

Hi Peeps, I noticed on motorway driving that my throttle hand always ends up with my wrist bent down, like I'm twisting the throttle wide open. Then I noticed that there seems to be a fair amount of vibration going through the bars and I think its been vibrating my grip a bit loose, now I notice...

The marketeers missed a trick. BMW S1000RR...the perfect bike for UK all year riding, includes central heating for those chilly summer and winter days!! ;D

It just happened again. I've done 150miles since the last one. Pulled into the drive, side stand down, got off and it stopped, this time all electrics were working???? She started up no probs......ghosts..... PS There are no mods on the bike. Jules

Hi Alps, I really don't know, it broke when I touched it, but I'd say it was a long term degradation of the hindge.. Jamie, I had to wait till I had the bike back before I could talk compo, then I set my case out in an Email addressed to [email protected] but with the persons name...
