    New S1000R

    My last S1KR was a 2019 with 165hp. But, now BMW has announced a S1000R, shift cam, with 210hp. I enjoyed that bike! This one should be double the joy!

    Valve adjustment negligence

    And this is why, when I started the valve adjustment thread, I asked if I is possible for valves clearance to get looser (more gap) then a new motor. When I did my 6k clearance, several were at the max, and 2 were @ 0.33-0.35. I suspect that at the 12k, they will all show, less clearance, then...

    Cam upgrade?

    Yeah, but it could be a BMW thing as well. It would be nice to have options available, for those that want performance mods, for the R18 platform.

    Cam upgrade?

    Makes me wonder about the RSD R1800 that BMW was displaying for a bit. I know it had a nitrous bottle. I wonder about other mods...

    Valve adjustment

    The marks at the bottom/top left, of the notches show TDC. Center the notches, and you are at TDC

    The one that got away…

    I wish they offered a true dual sport, in a lightweight package...say 350-400 lbs.

    The one that got away…

    72 H1 500 triple, chambers, Barnett clutch. When that bike hit the power band, it screamed! I had a 74 H2 750 triple, that I swear, the 500 was faster.

    If they end the R18 line...

    I used the video as well, but the specs are incorrect. Both intake and exhaust specs are the same. 0.20-0.30 I am sure, as I did my 6k recently. Message me with any questions

    If they end the R18 line...

    So was I, that included the costly valve cover gaskets @ $175 each. Not all dealers quote them in the estimate. I found another dealer that quoted me approx $300 for it.

    If they end the R18 line...

    Dealers are required to take a minimum of 1or 2 of every model. Manufacturers will also ship bikes, say force ship, but they will carry the bikes for a term. So, the dealer isn't on the hook for (floor plan/interest). I am sure on heavy discount models, that the manufacturer, gives them a spiff...

    OCD Oil Check

    Off, bike upright, engine at operating temp. So, ride the bike several miles, shut it off, wait 5 minutes or more, and check it with the bike upright.
