Hi I'm looking at getting a full akrapovic system but I keep hearing rumours that the stock headers are better when modified/cut.. That the stock headers will give around 10 bhp more in the mid range than aftermarket headers. Can anyone comment on this? Surely what would be the point of...

I'm sure this has been covered before but has anyone actually had engine and gearbox issues? I am referring to the common faults we read so much about on forums. I have read that it's mainly on track bikes or incorrectly run in bikes on early 2010 models. If you have had these issues. Are BMW...

Just grabbed myself a bargain! Collect Sunday! Can't wait! Im based in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. happy to show off with s1000rr owners! pics to come

Right... This is just little experiment, the are loads of horror stories floating round that our S1000rr's have the build quality of a cheap table from ikea and simply break! In all honesty, they have had their problems, mine included! Switch gear has been changed, chain is rusting and needs...

Hi, in a bit of bother... Ive just bought a 2011 Thunder Grey with 2500's on the clock with FSH, privately. The BMW warranty ran out a month ago... With all the issues listed with these bikes im wondering if I should trade it in for a 2012+ from a main dealer to get the cover and piece of mind...

Right, I've got a Thunder grey, but it's mainly black and I've been thinking... Do I add some colour or not?? Option 1: it has a couple of bits of red here and there, rear shock, adjusters, RR logo so I could add a few other bits of red, caps, bolts, stickers etc... Option 2: add blue! The...

Hi guys, Mrs has said she will get me some professional training for my birthday!!! So can anyone recommend a race school near Norfolk? One of those types of places where you use their bikes and their leathers and get proper track training... You know what I mean... Proper good stuff! Let me...

There seems to be a lot of owners getting lots of different faults with their S1000RR's. It's got me wondering, what should I be expecting or looking out for? I have a 2011 model so it's shouldn't have the teething issues the early 2010 and 2012 models have right? Or does the 2011 have it's own...

Unfortunately my s1rr is currently sitting in a not very damp proof garage :-( I'm lubing up the chain regularly but are there any other areas to watch out for that are prone to rust? She is currently well covered in a bike cover and sitting on carpet. Cheers

Ive only recently got my bike but im not sure if it is restricted to 155mph... is this possible or was it just my riding? To be honest I didnt try to push it any further, I remember seeing 155mph and its got me thinking! On a hpi check the bike has not been registered overseas (thinking it was...

Hi, I'm wanting to upgrade my exhaust system. I've seen the Austin racing gp2 & gp3 system which are stubby cans with decat for around £500-600 new which is currently my favourite but what do you guys think? The louder the better and something that really brings the power and sees decent bhp...

Sorry if this has already been posted but I found this and thought it was funny!! the s1000rr is so fast that it's the only bike who's lap times are expressed with a negative number when you do a valve adjustment on a s1000rr, the valves automatically get adjusted on any other bikes in the...

Hi, Can someone shed some light on this please, I've owned a 2010 s1000rr and just bought a 2011 model. What are the differences? I've heard the crank is different? Also, slick mode is selectable on the modes where as with my 2010 I had to fit the red connector to select it? All info welcome...

Hi all, Just PX'd my ZX10r for my second S1000rr! It feels good to be back! Got a 2011 model in black and grey! Looks like something batman would own! So now I AM BATMAN lol. She is totally standard so if your selling cool stuff let me know! I want an exhaust asap! I'm in Norfolk. Dan.

Hi everyone, Ive not been on for a while as I made a really bad mistake.. I bought my 2010 1000RR at the beginning of the season, then our summer was soaking wet, so I sold the bike as I flapped about 10k just sitting in a garage. I now consider this to be a huge mistake and really regret it...

hi everyone, recently bought an RR, done the basics like db screen and crash protection, now looking at exhausts.. end can and full systems... pro and cons? which gives best power gains? which is the loudest? which sounds the best? cheers
