I got a letter today from Motohaus (the UK distributor I think) saying that there have been some packing issues with the Gen 4 fitting arms (B046/B) and "as a precautionary measure, please replace the crossmember mounting bolts and washers with the new ones enclosed in this package"...

So I've received my rear seat cowl for my S1K (my bike came with the pillion pack). And it's come along with the workshop manual too! Which is just as well, since the seat cowl comes in pieces. I'm really struggling with one of the steps so I wondered if I'm missing a technique here. It's...

I'm thinking about joining some mates on a track day at Donington. It's a 98dB drive by limit that day. I'm far more familiar with static tests at places like Snetterton and Silverstone so I'm not sure how that translates. Do you think my Gen 4, with Akra stubby slip-on (still got cats and...

I posted in one of the other threads how I felt a clunk from the left fork the other day. BMW Recovery came out to look at the bike today and found all 4 pinch bolts on the front forks were loose! The left hand ones very much so. Please check yours just in case...

Just thought I'd mention, in case some people missed it (like me, cough), that there is discussion on a group buy of some very snazzy Brembo calipers going on in the Members Lounge area. So if you've got leaking calipers, or just want the extra stopping and/or bling, head over to there and...

With a paired phone, the Gen 4 will show the current speed limit of the road you are on on the dash. Looking at the owners manual, it shows this displayed like a UK speed limit sign, but on my bike I get a plain white square with the speed limit in. Is there some kind of country setting I'm...

I can't recall the proper name for these bolts, but I'm referring to these: That's the brake side, but also the clutch side has similar. Anyway, I want to angle the levers down a bit from their default position. Does anyone know what I need to torque these back up to? I couldn't see it...

I'm looking for opinions from owners of this slip-on: Longer term, post warranty, i'll probably be looking for a full system and a remap, but I'd definitely like a bit more of an interesting noise (and more volume without getting banned from tracks) than the stock can. Firstly, is it marked...

Looks like the click-baity title got you in here :smile-new: Seriously though, I'm interested in the size of a "hole" (can't think of the real name right now) on the Gen4 compared to a Gen1. The hole I'm talking about is this one: Basically I have a RAM mount thing that goes into there on...

I'm just wondering what tank pads you've gone for with your Gen4s, specifically M Sport models. I need to get some inspiration so I'd appreciate pics!

I've heard from a few people that the Gen4 has got some pretty bad vibrations - but it's not something I recall from my test ride. I'm trying to arrange another test ride (hopefully it won't be 2C this time!), but thought i'd ask the Gen4 owners on here what their experiences are. I know BMW...

I'm just wondering if anyone here went for it and what is your thought on it? I like the idea of a full system that doesn't invalidate warranty or need ECU flashing. Does it come stamped with "not for road use"?

Hi All, I've had a Gen 1 since new and I've loved it, but lately I've been hankering for an upgrade. I've been lurking here for a bit and it seems like the Gen 4 has had, to put it politely, it's fair share of issues. My Gen 1 is a 2011 so the gearbox and engine gremlins that were there at...

Hi All, New hear but not new to the S1000RR, I've had a Gen 1 from new and put many happy road and track miles on her. Thought it was about time to join a forum!
