This was a cold start with my muffler on I’m thinking this might be an exhaust leak, but I don’t know

I bought a 2026 S1K in the beginning of may and it has been in and out of the shop for over a month. I live in Massachusetts and we only have a few months of riding. The second day I owned the bike it went into limp mode and left me stranded. Got it towed to the dealership, ended up the servo flap was stuck closed. After a day of getting it back the ecu trashed itself. Took another two weeks to get back because the dealership had to deal with warranty. I bring it in for the 600 mile service and have them put on a brand new arrow evo full titanium exhaust. On the way back home from the dealership guess what same exact code popped up and now the bike started misfiring. Ended up being a bad coil. They replace the coil and deliver the bike back to me. I start it up, let it warm up, and as soon as it was warm the same error code popped up again. I couldn’t even ride it up the street, bike was giving me 0 power. Now it’s back at the shop again for the 4th time, now they’re saying that the same coil is bad. This bike is junk, I bought a 2025 last year 0 issues. This 2026 model has given me hell. BMW is now getting involved but in all honesty this is just one big shit show. I just want to ride.

I really enjoyed it. This was a few years back. And it's true what they say, you learn so much. 2010 RR

Pic of the day I dropped it off at my "friends" shop...never saw it, the new engine, seats, tires, and body work and $1400 ever again..

Dropped the bike off at my mechanic because it felt like clutch was slipping. Mechanic said clutch was good, he tightened chain and went for test ride. Bike overheated during the test ride, not sure exactly why but we have had higher temps here in Canada, roughly 30-35 degrees Celsius. The mechanic let it cool and made it back to the shop without it overheating again. I brought the bike home and rode it again and it overheated again, so i turned it off and trailered it back home. Now when i go to start the bike it is making this sound and im unsure what it is. Any help would be appreciated. In the video i turn the bike on and the noise comes and stays while bike is on, but i turn it off quickly as I don’t want to damage anything unknowingly.

Appreciate any input! Thanks!

I think the pinch bolts got tightened when axle was misaligned, cracked the leg. Is the leg replaceable without buying a whole fork? Thanks!

Thought I’d show it off a bit.

I have the OEM M chain 12,000 miles. I wanna change the sprocket and chain for peace of mind, it has a tight spot in the chain-

Im going for the DID 525 ZVMX2 + JT 17t. I just need to know what rear sprocket to get. 45/ or 46. I am yet to BT MOTO tune the bike to open up the middle range. Bike already has top range but the 46t can give low range. While 45 is oem feel I believe based on research. I do alot of highway miles, whats best? T i a.
