S1000RR Sport 22 - Back in the fold

[Wull]

After having the K9 GSXR 1000 for a few years I decided I wanted back on a newer more up to date bike, I miss the 1299s but also the S1000RR that I had before. So I wanted back on the Beemer

?Zee German????

I ordered the bike early February and after a bit of a wait the bike arrived on Tuesday there.

The spec of the bike is simply the Sport model with the M chain added, that?s all I wanted and in the colour I wanted. There was a bit of a mess up with BMW with regards to the SOS button but that got sorted and they removed it.

Here?s a few pics after the bike arrived.

Pair of German *******s! The German dog approves of the German bike.

I went out for a quick 10 miles because I couldn?t contain my giddiness. Running in - 180 miles @ <7k and then up to 600 miles @ <9k varying speeds etc. Sooner that?s over and done with the better.

Bits ordered so far

Radiator and oil cooler guard
lever protectors
paddock stand bobbins
taller screen
tail tidy which is on back order so won?t be here until May some time.

The radiator and oil cooler guards arrived so I fitted them before taking the bike back out again. Took some pics when the fairings were off. The guards I went with were the RRG ones, ?Racing Radiator Guard???..

 

[Wull]

Guards fitted

Paddock stand bobbins and lever protectors fitted.


Just the screen and tail tidy to do when they arrive, tail tidy will be ages as it?s on back order.

Had to do a Halfords run so took the bike, just over 50 miles on the clock now. Can?t wait for it to be run in.

That looks lovely Wull, I?ve had mine nearly 3 years now and still find it amazing. Where was the picture taken with the posh building in the background?

 

[stuartb]

That our very own Wallace Monument... marks the battle of Stirling Bridge..

Congrats and snap, I got mine back in December 2021. The running in is a tad boring!

But I was pleasantly surprised though when the dash lit up and stated it's due for its first service at just below 400 miles, I was always lead to believe it was 600. Needless to say I got it booked in asap!

bit strange as mine states 600 until next service, I imagine it?ll throw up a ?due for service? before that mileage is reached so you get it booked in before that mileage is reached.

Taller screen arrived today so stuck it on after work. Looks much better now and should offer much more protection.


Tail tidy has been dispatched which is way earlier than I was expecting so that will tidy up the rear end once it?s here and fitted.
