Hey y’all, got a 2020 s1k, I just bought it used maybe 400 miles ago. It’s got a full akro system but the previous owner didn’t specify where the ECU got flashed but he said it did get flashed.

What I’m wondering is today out of nowhere the bike started to feel super boggy and choppy at idle and lower rpm’s in 1st gear. Now I know that a liter bike at lower rpm’s in 1st gear is natural choppy but this feels way worse.

Idle it sounds terrible around 2k rpm’s, and I literally keep stalling the bike when I literally never did before today. Not too sure what’s going on, but I’m thinking maybe I just send the ECU in for a reflash by Bauce tune.

Looking for any advice or suggestions, thanks.

Hey y’all, I have a 2020 s1000rr and I’ve had it for around a month now. Haven’t put too much seat time on it yet, around 250 miles, but I find shifting in lower gears feels off.

First off, neutral is almost impossible to find for me at a stop, but I’ve talked to people and seems like it’s just a bit hard to find on these. But whenever I rev match from 2nd to 1st, I always find neutral, and whenever I pull the clutch back in to shift down to 1st from neutral the clutch cable literally feels like snapping.

Not too sure if I’m the problem but I’ve never had a problem on my zx6r or my r7 prior to that. Checked the clutch cable slack too and looks fine according to manual specs.

Hey there, just a rant on my girlfriend and her terrible sense of urgency. I’ve (24M) been with my girlfriend (23F) for 4 years and almost every time we see each other she’s late. I’m not talking 10-15 mins late, I’m talking 30 mins to hours late. It grinds my gears so bad because I’m constantly thinking about time.

For example, literally as I’m writing this, we had plans to go eat lunch with my mom, my brother and his girlfriend. I specifically told her to come to my apartment at 12pm. I wake up at 9am and she’s been up since 7:30am. I text her at 11am because she’s an hour and a half away by train already knowing she’ll be late. She ends up leaving her house at 12pm. She’s going to be an entire hour and 40 minutes late.

This is for almost everything, I had a date planned on Valentine’s Day in the most booked out city in the country. She arrives 30 mins late effectively ruining my plans, and she starts being sad that I’m upset. Great, now the entire days ruined and I have to apologize. It’s literally every single time.

Meanwhile I’m over here constantly thinking about time, thinking we have 10 minutes for this, and the commute will take 25 minutes, and the movies in 3 hours. She’s just not all there mentally ever when it comes to stuff like this and it’s unbelievably frustrating.

And I talked to her about this and all she ever says is she’s sorry and something came up to make her late. But nothing ever changes. Like today, we SPECIFICALLY BOTH said 12pm today. But lo and behold, her father needed help with something that makes her late an hour and a half. Shes been up since 7:30am. To her credit she lives an hour and a half by train and she usually comes over to me because I live alone and there’s more things to do here, etc. But this pattern is so concerning for me, what if things never change? It just feels like a complete lack of respect for MY time and everyone else around her. But she adamantly says that’s not the case and that there’s always just something going on.

The crazy thing is though, when we don’t see each other, that shit never happens. Either ways, I’m sick of it and it puts me in a terrible mood every time we see each other.

Hey there, so I took my bike to a shop local to me. I went in to them to change a lowering link on my bike for the OEM one. They quoted me 45 minutes to 1 hour of labor but said they’ll tell me it’s ready in a few hours. They call me at 5pm that it’s ready for pickup and they charge me 2 hours of labor.

What really matters to me is that I check their instagram page and I notice on their story that they took my s1k for a joy ride, going over the speed limit 90mph that they didn’t tell me about. Now I’m wondering if they overcharged me for the labor because they took my bike out.

But it’s mainly the fact that they just took my bike out for a ride without my consent or knowledge. Am I wrong to feel upset over this? This job wasn’t something that needed to be ridden 90 mph to check if everything was okay.

EDIT:
It’s clearly my bike from the POV video they posted with identifiable modifications. They also posted a video of my bike from multiple angles after showing the same identifiable modifications. These were also uploaded the day after they worked on my bike. I screen recorded the video on my phone and will also download the story as well.

If you want to see the video go on instagram @brooklyn_speed, it should still be on their story.

From these responses it seems sentiment is split. Most stating that what the shop did was unacceptable and to ask for the labor cost back at the least, if not legal action. While some say that it’s completely normal what they did and I’m overreacting or that there’s no cause for my concern. I’ll talk to them tomorrow and go from there.

SECOND EDIT:
It’s clear that the shop had every right to test ride my bike to make sure that everything was okay, completely understandable. My problem comes with the fact that the tech who drove it rode at almost 3x the speed limit of the bridge the video was taken from. This wasn’t a quick ride around the block either, and if this is what they decided the post, how else did they ride it that wasn’t shown. My city is littered with cops and speed cameras everywhere, if this was down a long stretch of open highway, sure maybe I would be less upset. I also have no clue why my bikes capabilities change anything, if it was a 300cc would that change anything in the situation? No, it would not.

And I am NOT pursuing legal action against the shop for everyone assuming so. This entire post wasn’t whether to gauge if I had a plausible case against them in court, just to see if this is something sensible to be upset against. I sent the shop/owner an email and at no point will I be contacting any legal counsel.

What really matters to me is that I check their instagram page and I notice on their story that they took my s1k for a joy ride, going over the speed limit 90+ that they didn’t tell me about. Now I’m wondering if they overcharged me for the labor because they took my bike out.

Hey y’all, have a service due reminder on my s1k. Just got fluid flush service at a shop but they’re charging me $150 to get rid of the code. Dealerships asking $115, should I just buy the OBD scanner and moto scan app for the future? Or do yall have any suggestions, thanks.

Hey y'all, just wondering if any of you guys know where to purchase individual aftermarket fairings. Can't seem to have any luck on facebook marketplace and most aftermarket sellers like amotoparts and monsterfairings only sell entire sets. Thanks.

Hey yall, planning on buying a 2020 s1k. Only real reservation I have is the fact that it’s lowered in the rear and in the front. How easy of a job is it to return the bikes height back to stock? And which exact OEM link part do I need? Thanks!

Hey there, so I'm heavily considering buying this used bike off of my friend. So the story goes my friend originally bought a 2024 s1000rr from the original owner upstate. He paid $24,000 for the bike knowing it had a lien on it. He paid the original owner expecting the lien release within 2 weeks, the original owner stating that he'd pay off the balance immediately.

My friend got the title transferred over to him (he didn't fill out the buyer's parts), but over the next few weeks the original owner would slowly start ghosting him. It's been about 9 months now and he's willing to sell the bike to me for $13,000 knowing that he took an immense hit.

Some pros are that he has the title in hand (albiet it has a lien on it) signed over from the buyer. The bike is still under BMW warranty and is very mint and has a very nice and tasteful assortment of mods. It has the bill of sale from the original owner to my friend, and BMW financial services is the real lienholder. It's also assumed that the original owner is indeed paying off the lien monthly, he just did not pay off the lump sum originally when my friend paid him.

Cons are that the original owner is a douche bag and ghosted my friend and I'm potentially never going to speak to him. I know that buying bikes with liens in situations like this are immediate red flag walk away stituations but still want to know your opinions, thanks.
