So I picked up this '19 M-sport

[Rallolainen]

Late december 24 I picked up a somewhat neglected 1 owner 2019 S1000RR m-sport.


5800km
Tall windscreen
TFT protector
M spools, axle sliders, carbon chain guard and levers
R&G sliders all over
R&R axle blocks (will replace)


This was the state of it after pickup, previous owner once never washed it properly.




Both front calipers leaking



This is the amount of aftermarked alarms, chargers, mobile holders and other crap I removed

 

[Rallolainen]

After removing the sliders from the fuel tank it was obvious the guy that put them on really wanted them to stay on.
Hardest glue to remove I've ever come across, fishing line made scratches and no solvent would work.



I sent the tank off to get repaired. Full respray and here is the result.




I bought a tail cover that I also had painted while the guy was at it.

 

[Rallolainen]

Wheels cleaned up nicely. Original tires still on. I think I'm the first to remove the wheels off this 6 year old bike, crazy.

 

[alex]

Wow previous own really gave no fcuks if that was the state and the age of the tyres.

Just goes to show 1 owner vehicles aren’t necessarily the best

Disagree as long as the bike has full service history. Also by the look of the tyres the bike had been riden slowly.

 

[Coyotegsxr]

Looks like the previous owner really wanted a GS

 

[Rallolainen]

I got it clean eventually


After a 12h round trip on snowy roads my first visit to a dealer is done. The bike now has:
- Nissin front brake calipers and pads
- Oil filter recall
- Cooler fitting recall
- Cam chain tentioner recall

Fits in a Peugeot Partner with no room to spare.

I'm assuming the price paid reflected the easily rectified neglect, so what's the issue?

Yes will now be an extremely low mileage, unmolested, mint bike

If it had been a normally used 2019 bike, would you have stripped it down, and cleaned it anyway?

Your prerogative, but based on the detail the op provided, one owner aren’t always the best

 

[Rallolainen]

I fit a tall M seat, here is a comparison.

 

[lightning_bob]

Where you get the taller seat

 

[Rallolainen]

Got it from BMW dealer

 

[Rallolainen]

Got rid off the SOS switch, sensor and module together with the alarm. Subframe needs lifting to get to the sensor.


All ready to go off to RS2E

 

[alex]

I only sent 2 ECU's what's the third. I sent the lights and main ecu.

 

[Rallolainen]

That`s the RDC module, located on the rear of the bike near the shock.

From RS2E:
Race RDC

• Lowering minimum pressure warning for use of slick tire pressures
• Deactivation of the calculated tire pressure correction on cold tires (real pressure is displayed)

And the throttle goes in for modification to make it 58 instead of 68 degrees from closed to fully open. It`s a bit of a gamble if I like it or not as I havent ridden the bike, but the same goes for all the modifications.

 

[TheGodfather]

I'd like to point out that this is not my bike that I've just sold,
I got sick of seeing it around and traded it in for another bike

 

[alex]

The throttle reduction is nice, helps you get to WOT faster. Still progressive enough.
Not had any issues with the TPMS but I can turn off the warnings on my '23 through the menu.

Sure @TheGodfather we believe you
