So I sought further clarification from BMW Motorrad and Chandlers. They said it is a slight oil leak or oil 'mist' - that's what they meant by sweating gasket. Again, terms I've never heard of and I've worked on bikes and cars all my life! They said it wasn't from the main head gasket but...

Just had the bike serviced at Chandlers BMW Portslade. Excellent job as always. Only comment from technician was that it's got a 'sweating' head gasket. I don't put many miles on it at all and it sits in the garage - which gets hot & cold. It was also a bit of a cold morning when I rode down...

Doesn't work for mine either.

I bought a second hand pillion seat and just bolted a top box on it. Works a treat. https://s1000rrforum.co.uk/showthread.php?6382-Luggage-carrying-capability-for-the-S1000RR&p=51778#post51778

Really not sure how you managed to do it with hacksaw blades when the sump extends down between the two pipes - well done though all the same. "Doesnt sound too much louder" - was night & day for me mate. Bloody loud but I like it. I had a Two Brothers end can. That hardly made any...

How old is it please and have you got some photos. Any marks? Thank you. I assume its still for sale.

Hello and welcome. Great choice of bike. I had a number of GSXR750's through the years, then a KTM Superduke for a couple fo years and finally a GSXR1000K8 for 6 years before 'upgrading' to the Sthou. Enjoy.

Oh, mine's a 2013 S1000RR and the pipes do taper on this model, which makes it all the more important to cut them in the right place. I put the cat I removed on the bathroom scales and it came in at 7.5kg.

The problem I found when I did mine was that part of the sump passes down between the two pipes where you need to cut it, so you can't just take a hacksaw to it from underneath and saw both pipes at the same time. I ended up using a wire pipe cutter and doing each pipe in turn, in-situ, with a...

Yup. Same here.

I fitted S21's on my S1000RR. Brilliant tyres. I mainly road ride, all weathers, with occasional track days. Good do it all tyre. Can't comment on mileage yet but I got the same out the original BT016's as you.

I wouldn't say mine ran like crap but it was a bit lumpy, backfiring on overrun and not as smooth as it is now on and off the throttle. It was worth doing in my opinion but still perfectly rideable without the remap. I went down the ecu reflash route but many have gone with PCV / Dynojet and...

I had my 2013 S1krr decatted, K&N filter and Two Brother end pipe. It ran so lean that Geoff at Hilltop didn't even want to complete the full power run for fear of it overheating and throwing a valve. Post re-flash its now spot on. Much smoother, spot on fuelling, better mpg and improved...

Plug it in.

And here are the results from my day at Hilltop..... 202bhp, 88ft/lbs torque. Started out around 185bhp and 75 ft/lbs - that was with the decat, Two Brothers exhaust and K&N filter with no mapping modifications. The bike rides very smoothly now and I'm very pleased with the results. See...

Heading up to Hilltop for my reflash/remap tomorrow. Any last minute takers also want to join?

Anyone else going to book for 7th May? I'm booked in for 10.30am. Would be nice to see some others there if you're planning on a Hilltop remap.

Put a new matched pair on and sell the front as part worn if there's still useful life in it.

Alex - I do like that carbon bellypan. Where can you get those?

Hello Nursleo and welcome!
