S1000RR

The BMW S1000RR is one of the fastest motorbikes on the planet and nothing short of an engineering marvel. It packs a 999 cc engine producing 206 hp for an incredible power-to-weight ratio and a top speed of 185 mph.

However, all that power and extreme performance take a toll on its components, calling in for extra care. And since it’s quite technically advanced, the easiest and safest way to maintain your superbike is to use a good BMW S1000RR service manual.

Indeed, a BMW S1000RR repair manual contains all the necessary troubleshooting and repair procedures to fix pretty much anything on your bike. It also includes the manufacturer’s recommended BMW S1000RR service schedule you’ll need to use to stay on top of your bike’s maintenance routine.

The S1000RR is a special motorbike and, as such, deserves special care. Play safe and get a manual first — you’ll thank us later!

The BMW S1000RR is a sport bike made by BMW Motorrad. Originally, intended to compete in the 2009 Superbike World Championship, which was later released for commercial production. It is powered by a 61.0 cu in 4-cylinder engine redlining at 14,200 rpm. However, making sure you have a BMW S1000RR repair manual before attempting a repair, may prevent you from having a messy situation on your hands.

The S1000RR was introduced in 2009, and was considered the to be the top sportbike in the 1000 cc category; furthermore, with a bore and stroke of 3.1 in × 2.0 in, it had the largest bore in its class. It came standard with three riding modes: Sport, Wet, and Race, with an additional riding mode -- Slick -- which only was available after connecting a dongle, that you are given upon purchase of the bike in question, to a specific jack under the seat. Additionally, it was the production motorcycle to provide an optional quick shifter.

In 2012, the bike received minute upgrades. It received a new face of the tachometer and new throttle maps for each of the four riding modes. The exhaust and intake systems also received updates, among other things. The chassis was also updated, with the front suspension being lifted by 0.2 in and the rear was dropped by 0.2 in. Cosmetically, a slimmer-looking tail section and reshaped side panels with plastic winglets said to improve aerodynamics at speed, new heel plates, grilles were added to the side of the tank plastics and a new ""RR"" logo.

In 2013 the bike was not given the same level of attention as the 2012 bike. However, BMW did unveil the HP4 variant, which was a track-oriented version of the standard S1000RR. The 2013 HP4 took the ride-by-wire system to a level unseen outside of the MotoGP and WSBK.

More minor updates were seen in the 2014 S1000RR. The handlebars and fairings were slightly modified. The premium package which included HP carbon trim an engine spoiler, HP adjustable rider footrests, HP folding clutch and brake levers, heated grips, a decal kit, a pillion rider kit, and an anti-theft alarm.

In 2015, the S1000RR saw significant changes. Notably, the bike now weighed 8.8 lb less and gained 5.9 hp making the total output 198 hp. This was achieved through a new cam profile, reshaping the ports, shorter velocity stacks drawing from a larger airbox, and lighter valves. An all-new exhaust was also added.

The 2019 S1000RR was given a complete reworking. The 61.0 cu in 4-cylinder engine is entirely new. It's claimed to produce 204 hp at 13,500 rpm and 113 N⋅m (83 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 11,000 rpm. Aside from the increase in power, the S1000RR's engine gains a weight loss of nearly 9 lb and a more compact external design. The exhaust system is also 2.8 lb lighter on the 2019 model, which contributes to a total 24 lb loss in comparison to its predecessor. This brings the overall curb weight of 434 lb. There are four riding modes: Road, Rain, Dynamic, and Race, in addition to three Pro modes, that can be custom-tuned and come with a three-stage engine-braking adjustment. However, making sure you have a BMW S1000RR service manual may prove useful if you ever find yourself working on one.
