Didn't have much time to film this one, so it's not the best angles/focus, but this should help whomever wants to tackle the install.

I like what you did with the zip ties to install the springs, I will use that trick on my bike

Very nice... I’ve just fitted the full titanium Akrapovic on my 2020 xr 👌👌

Hey man ! You do decent job out there !! Congrats !! My question is after the headers installed did you flash the ecu or did you keep it stock ?? I ve seen all your videos and cant figure out if on this video you run stock, rapidbike or brentuning ! You will definetely save a lot of hustle for all of us wanting to perfect the bike in every possible measure !! thanks a lot !

So the new headers essentially eliminate the catalytic converter. You're also eliminating some O2 sensors and the exhaust servo unit. You must have to reflash the ECU??

I just purchased a new 2024 S1000XR after riding a R1200/1300GS for past 9 years. I noticed your frame sliders? on this video. Are these still available and what kind are they? I was looking at the R&G frame sliders but I am used to the crash bars on a GS so all of this is new to me riding a more street oriented sports bike. Any help or ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't plan to track this bike but I do ride aggressively here in western NC. Thanks

The OEM ones are now carbon fiber and are $$$$, but luckily the aftermarket has already come to the rescue with multiple offers from Wunderlich, Givi, SW-Motech, etc. A quick Google search should bring up these up so you can decide which version you like best, they should all offer excellent protection compared to pucks.

Hello, I put the catalyst eliminator on it, they are the double stainless steel pipes and I left the same pipe and the original exhaust. And it turned out that I was left with an acceleration lag. I put the ESE Healt Technics chip to eliminate the witness and they already mapped him at the BMW Motorrad Agency here in Monterrey and they did not find the solution. Could you advise me or help me to know if it is possible that it remains without failure? Best regards

Hey buddy, I was wondering if you had to trim the plastic on the bottom fairing? Mine seems really close to the header pipes at the bottom.

Hi Cuban Rider! Thanks for your video. Did you install a special mapping for it to work properly?

Você tirou os cabos do aparelho eletrônico que controla a borboleta do escapamento e montou na moto novamente ? somente removendo os cabos e conectando o aparelho de novo resolve? não gera defeito?

Man you are amazing. I have one question. Did you buy the headers cause i have the same bike but in greece where i live i can only find akrapovic (900 euro) or an exhaust specialist made them for you?? Keep going dude

@CubanRider 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Stavros. I bought the headers, they were about 700 (USD), so not cheap, but it's probably the best performance modification you can make.

@eternal_moto 5 жыл бұрын

Ok then. So will you change the air filter after? Do you think of installing a power commander? Cause they are usually the next steps.

@CubanRider 5 жыл бұрын

@@eternal_moto I'm going with the collective knowledge of S1000RR owners that say the stock filter will flow as much air as the bike needs. As for tuning, I have something coming soon. ;) www.s1000rrforum.com/forum/bmw-s1000rr-general-discussion/74625-k-n-vs-bmc-vs-stock-air-filter.html

Standard pipes can be modified and a link pipe used. Sounds great too. By the way good idea with the fairing bolts in the cardboard 👍🏼

@stevenreeves4766 3 жыл бұрын

did you only put on pipes? no muffler? does it only require remapping after you change the muffler.

Hi there. Nice sound with the new headers. Do you also install any form of power commander to make it a smoother power delivery

Hello my friend. I'm your fan. With the oem muffler akrapovic headers, how is the sound on the street? how much is decibels? low rpm Can you help ?

@stanksbeamen 5 жыл бұрын

Great job! I’ve done the same thing but on my single R. I have an install video for S1000R if anyone needs it, pretty much the exact same install. I used a servo buddy instead of removing the cables from the servo motor. Are you still using rapid bike for fueling? I currently have the easy installed but found an evo recently.

I was using Rapid Bike Evo, but a new tuning solution is coming soon. :)

Hola espero que pronto se recupere tu XR de su encuentro con el venado Quería preguntarte que marca es la protección del radiador que se ve en este video Saludos

Removing the exhaust wires does that mean it will still allow motor to rotate and not throw a complaint up on dash but obviously exhaust is now always open
