I test road a M1000R and now I’m shopping for one. I was on the fence because of the SFV4 but the BMW gives me the performance along with the cruise control, tire pressure monitoring, heated grips and gas gauge that Ducati doesn’t offer.
Holy crap is that what fixes this or at least lessens it?!?! Man I gotta try this on my bike next weekend. Fortunately it makes everything easy for me and don’t have to manually adjust it like I did on my MT-09. Wow man thank you for the suggestion.
You should be able to almost eliminate all unwanted behaviour by adjusting the suspension. Start really soft and stiffen just enough. Too soft is better than too hard.
Just picked up my M1000R. I have a BTMOTO tune on my SFV2. Can’t wait to tune this. I ordered the ohlins damper beforehand. I 100% have the same wobbles at 100mph+. Hopefully the ohlins solves it!
@@rudedog3529 i don’t feel any wobble under triple digits. It doesn’t feel like a tank slapper but just feels super light and moves around. Going to install the ohlins damper tomorrow. 385 miles into my break-in :)

Any comments on the front suspension? The internals had to be replaced on mine due to some manufacturing intolerances. I noticed it on the ride home on the day I picked it up. That has been fixed but I don't feel the front end suspension is that great on this bike. I'm not impressed that you have compression and rebound adjustment available for the shock, but not the front end. I wish I'd looked closer about this before I bought mine.

My friend is experiencing tons of problems with the electronics on his MkR. 3 times it went into limp mode, BMW said they fixed it but it wasn`t fixed, it was worse. Revved up and down by itself. Now they`re saying he needs a new wiring harness. We have 3 months of good summer riding up here, sucks to have your new M1000R sitting at the dealership
If a bike has a tune does it effect your warranty as it’s a brand new bike ? Can the BMW dealer tell it’s been tuned and when serviced does that end up with the tune been reset back to standard ? I thought that the steering damper was supposed to prevent the steering flapping about all over the place at speed. To deliver a high performance bike to a customer (not a pro rider )that wobbles at speed seems a little irresponsible as an average rider isn’t going to be comfortable with that.
Oh yes - it will affect your warranty if say, you submitted your bike for a runnability or cooling issue, and bike has been flashed - ANY manufacturer can (and has every right to) call you out on that if they elect to do so (ultimately denying a warranty claim). And yes - we at a BMW dealership can EASILY and QUICKLY detect an aftermarket/alternate map, which is the very first thing we check upon a runnability evaluation. And to you younger riders out there - although reckless lane splitting “at speed” may be legal in some states - please don’t ride like this jackass in the video.
@@dingleberry6486 It’s an expensive gamble then as to maintain the warranty I’m presuming you need the main dealer service ? I’m not surprised that some of these bikes are made to look like they handle so badly when the riders are so rough with them. I think a lot of the test pilots would benefit from some extra training to make them smoother and safer rather than blowing a load of money trying to make a 200bhp bike even faster than they can handle.
Hmmm, I wonder if it’s like the problem with my 2023 s1k that leaks coolant from the bottom of the oil pan. No big deal, just have to drop the bike off at the dealership for a few months to fix it…
I‘m driving 270 km/h on the German Autobahn and everything was fine. I can’t share your experience with die M1000R - there is no shaking. Use your hands easy and perhaps your shaking will stop 😉
Update: just got mine a few days ago. Just moving it around the parking lot, the steering was so heavy that I thought I had a flat tire. Backed off the dampener knob all the way and it was tolerable, though a bit heavier than other bikes I've been on. Fr tire had 34.5 Psi. Haven't had a chance to run above 100 mph, but may try later today.

Great review 👍🏼. I'm waiting for my M1000R non competition version, with forged wheels to be delivered. It'll be interesting to see if the heavier wheels make a difference to the speed wobble 🤔. Tune looks awesome, do you have any dealers in the UK for your products?
@BT, I just got the 24’ M1KR and have same dead spots in 2nd. I’m still breaking mine in but I def noticed it off the rip. Was the flash all you did to the ECU to remove the restrictions or did they also dyno tune thru a piggyback fuel controller? And did you hear what aftermarket damper went on that bike ? Feel like I should grab that too. Thanks
Awesome review! Shocking difference… are the European bikes also tuned like that from stock? I haven’t seen comments about 2nd gear pull from EU bike reviews..
EU bikes aren’t affected by the severe power restrictions like the US bikes but we have a lot of customers that get tuning in Europe that enjoy the bike being smoothed out and feeling proper.
What's the impact of the ecu tune on the power modes? For instance if I choose Race Pro 1 and select direct throttle response with full torque does that still work? Conversely if I select rain mode, will that work?
I just wonder if the sketchy high speed ride could be due to the wide, plow handle bars ? I'll have to measure, but they do feel wider than most nekkid bikes that I'm used to.

Great video. !!! I have 22 S1000r. Does it make sense to upgrade it to M1000R? Is it noticeable difference ?
40hp more. It’s a huge difference in power.
The M seat seems to affect people from one extreme to the other. I think it's a lot more comfortable that the one on my 2018 S1000R
Also can’t you guys ask Steve Moss tuning to check why the bike wobbles at high speeds ? I mean he would be the guy to know?
You guys need to do the horn count down for the racing....way easier and more equal starts. Go on third beep. Beep.....beep....beep (go!) ;-P
Did the tuned bike have the intake flap set to open?
Hi have to tried tightening the Steering damper to Max ?? Cheers !! Keep Vloggin !! 😁🙂
Yes, max helped a little but doesn’t solve completely. Even maxed it isn’t very stiff. Recommend Ohlins replacement

will you be going home with this or the new 1390 SDR Evo? :) Cheers.
Yes! Need to get one in our hands in SD. We already have a 1290 review here.
What's the impact of the ecu tune on the power modes?
For instance if I choose Race Pro 1 and select direct throttle response with full torque does that still work? Conversely if I select rain mode, will that work?
Modes are still fully functional, as well as race pro settings. Our tuning works with all modes.
I just wonder if the sketchy high speed ride could be due to the wide, plow handle bars ?
I'll have to measure, but they do feel wider than most nekkid bikes that I'm used to.
Does the s1000r wobble at high speeds as well? Can the fins/winglets we the cause for wobbles. I'm debating on if I want the S or M rn
Apparently the gen 1 and gen2 s1000r do get speed wobbles
5:02 All video I seen of this bike shows how it kind of bounces on hard acceleration
So do we need to de cat this bike for stage 1 or that will be a stage 2 thing?
Stage 1 refers to software only. Stage 2 and on require hardware changes
why not also add a full exhaust. that wud open up more posibilities.
I just got my m1000r how do I get it tuned with you once the break in period is done?
Go to www.BT-Moto.com and buy our handheld. We have video instructions on how to install it to your bike.
Does the EU/World spec has the same tune?
Or 2nd gear issue is a US thing?
Depends on the country. Though all EU bikes are restricted in some way, most aren’t as bad as the US models. All could benefit from a flash though.
Its the US bikes to get through CA emissions. My 2022 RR had the Bren tune 2 flash and now a beast.

Your suspension is either set up incorrectly or you're running the wrong tire pressure, or both. Get your suspension sorted out and itll be a dream
Maybe remove the mirrors and see if it solves the issue with the wobble
Is the stock dampener not adjustable?
We maxed it out. Still was shaking
Are all the riding settings still available whit the tune (rain road dynamic)
Yes
Mine doesn't speed wobble. Never had to adjust the dampener. Ive spent a lot of time well over 100.
