    Ignition Key nightmare

    Just been out today a ride on my 2017 RR and had a bit of a nightmare with the ignition key. I use the one with the silver metal band around it with the BMW embossed logo and this is attached to a key ring with a couple of other keys. Looked down whilst riding to see the key band falling away...

    New to the S1000RR- Buy 2018 or wait for the update??

    Hi Stickiky, I agree with the others, these bikes are utterly fantastic and actually very rideable. Suggest you take a trip over to CW Motorcycle in Dorchester, last time I was there they had a few new ones in stock. Great dealership always friendly and ready to help. Enjoy Chris

    HP Rear Sets

    I?ve just had a pair of HP levers and rear sets fitted - what a difference! I now need to set them up properly but does anyone know the exact size torx bit I need to adjust the foot pegs (assume it?s a torx bit ) ? Thanks Chris

    Strange noise from the rear wheel

    Thanks Jimmy, I thought I heard something when I was entering a roundabout at very low speed but I can't be sure. I can't say there was anything different in handling etc but bear in mind this bike is very new to me and this was the first trip in usermode and so it was very lively! The noise...

    Strange noise from the rear wheel

    Had my first real spirited run with the coding plug installed, got home and noticed a strange rubbing noise from the rear wheel almost like there was something trapped between the hugger and the tyre (which there wasn't and I've checked every where else). Noise only apparent at a certain point...

    User mode set up

    Fantastic post guys, thanks that helped me understand the setting much more. Cheers Chris

    User mode set up

    Ok, so what I think you are saying is the DTC is implemented differently in each of the modes and then the amount they are applied can be controlled by the -7 to +7 dial in I was thinking that that DTC in rain with say a +7 might be equal to a sport DTC with say a -7 etc but I'm thinking...

    User mode set up

    Thanks, so when the DTC is in rain I can dial in even more traction control by setting it to +7 ? Does -7 in Rain give me any traction control at all ? Thanks Chris

    User mode set up

    I've just got the coding plug installed and starting to set up the user mode however I'm a bit confused about the DTC. I've gone for a fairly conservative setup for electronic support so far ABS - Sport, DDC - Sport (all damping set to -2) DTC - Rain. Engine is set to Slick because I want...

    Thinking of getting a pair of rear sets for my 2017 S1000RR

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a pair of rear sets for my 2017 S100RR and leaning towards the HPs. I know these bike vibrate a bit, recently had a frame slider work loose and wondered if anyone had this happen to their rear sets? Wouldn't want to loose a foot peg miles from home. Also are spare...
