Mechanics 😥

The tech was his close friend I think he said.

Exactly

@@thunderpants007 My normal tech is. This was my first time EVER taking my bmw in to the dealer for service.

Or they are trying to sell you a brand new bike.

Yeah idk why I thought it was a good idea to take it to bmw for that. I guess for the fact that its a huge job and having it on paper is better when it comes time to sell is better than just saying a friend of mine adjusted the valves. Lol Agree with you 1000% tho nobody will ever do the job like how they would do it on their bike.

Yeah which I do, like I said first time taking it in for a service lol Appreciate the love! Happy Holidays & have fun on that beauty

Im saying!! Thanks for tuning in

Thank you! You cant put a price on a solid mechanic that is forsure

Thank you! I'm happy to be back and still have the bike after all of this.. Stay tuned for more videos coming soon! Happy new year.

@@FastFlowKC can’t wait brotha!!

it was almost green

I will hopefully be talking about that soon in a video! But yes, stay tuned for a thorough break down of it.

Good mechanic if u can find him 😑

I agree man, its seems this entire world is filled with sht customer service even as small as me getting food 😂 Shouldn't even be laughing about it cause its insane to me, but at the same time its like why am I even shocked.

Warranties are fine. Saved me 5K on front suspension. Just read the fine print

My mechanic does all the work out of his shop at his house. Shoot me a DM on IG and I will give you his contact info!

ah yes the time for stories

Thank you!

Yeah its not the bike my boy so don't feel stressed on getting one. Its just a testament on why I don't let other people besides my mechanic that I've had for 6+ years touch my bike. 25k hard miles and the first upset is after a bmw tech turns a wrench on my bike = do the work yourself. Yes I have the handheld and it will work again to re flash it, I will just have to pay for the retune.

@@FastFlowKC who is your mechanic?

Same to you! Thanks for tuning in

@@FastFlowKC ty can't swait to see what you get up to next riding season

Lol Ive been thinking about it trust me! Thanks for sticking around, Happy New Year.

Aye welcome my boy! 😂

Yeah would of saved so much time and headache on both ends

The new ones definitely have some flaws and have heard horror stories about them. As far as the older gen (like mine) they have been solid to pretty much everyone I have seen that owns one. Now dealership horror stories, yeah... This was one of those.

@@FastFlowKC yh sorry my horror story was dealer fault.. Sorry people if I wasn't clear. Bmw as a bike is good soo far. I own a (gen2 2017-2019) S1000R it's great soo far. Also to add in terms of complaints from others it's mainly price or parts, service and repairs that they complain about not reliability of the bike itself. Whereas ducati and aprilas cough cough.. It's all of above plus, reliability, difficulty of getting parts.

Well I guess the service manager didn't want to go that route if that's a possibility

The overthinking won 😂 fkkk

Soo easy it seems like smh. Hopefully you don't deal with the problems I had to, and hope to see you out on the streets this summer.

@@FastFlowKC I daily mine. If you ever see a green and bronze s1k, it's most likely me

Its painted from amotopart.com They color is similar to a sunburst orange. I also have a code for amotopart fairings which is FASTFLOW and will save you some money if you get custom fairings!

@@FastFlowKC I’m in love with that color! What’d you do, order some more fairings and have them paint it or, sent them your fairings and they painted them and just sent them back?

@@FastFlowKCalso how’d you get your gloves and boots to match the paint scheme?

2018. Thank you!

@@FastFlowKC got R1 2005 about to replace for BMW or aprilia ... a bit with uncertainty...

mainly what I've noticed is the bike don't start as fast almost like out of time ,some smoke ,

@blazekcmo6283 my 12 cbr1000rr takes about 2 seconds to start, but only on cold starts. And a bit of smoke is visible when i redlined it while neutral. It has 69k km and i dont think it has ever been through a valve adjustment. I bought it 6 months ago at 61k km. In terms of starting, it has new battery but I have not changed the spark plugs. Plan to change it when im doing valve adjustment

@@farelferdinand1089 spark plugs usually every 7500 _10000 miles which is roughly 12k km -16k km and yeah its pretty high mileage bike ,prob need to get that done

@@blazekcmo913 ur probably right. I plan to do it myself, but im still doing lots of research because it looks overwhelming hahaha

check every 12k. adjust as needed.

THAT IS INSANITY! Its just them not installing wiring correctly. You would think with computers right next to them that give them full diagrams of everything they would double check shit before giving it the beans lol

25k

AGV Pista GP RR - Glossy Carbon

Lmao what... did you watch the video? It wasn't me or the bikes fault 😂

2018

I don't intend to slander anyone or anything ever on this channel unless its absolutely necessary and for a good cause in the end. And all through I'm not happy at all with the outcome of the situation, I'm not going to put their name out there for a few reasons. Anyways Happy New Year! Thanks for watching the video.

Didn't even take me out first either 😂

Man I was heated forsure but tried to keep my cool since it was out of my control unfortunately

Time to find a new shop?

Shit my bike is practically a gsxr, they based a lot of the build on the older gen s1ks off the k6 gsxr’s lol

I will say a prayer for you brother lol

@@FastFlowKC Tanks man.

Yeah and they will literally brentune your bike for you LMAO makes a ton of sense right?

Work on an electronic modern bike?

@@the.communist I’m not afraid to work on an electronic motorcycle, but asking me a question..? You make it sound like “ oh no anything electronic needs special technicians “ I don’t want no hate, I’m sure you can learn it bud plus the 4 people that liked your comment you guys/girls can do it, don’t be afraid to expend your knowledge or skills. I owned a few bikes and the newest being a 2014 R6 and loved it, practically rebuilt it. I have a family now and priorities change and honestly got me a 01 Sportster 1200C because it’s just simple for me pull the choke, twist the throttle 3 times and she fires up easily with going on almost 76k miles and I don’t need to focus on the electrical stuff, no heated grips, seats, fancy gages… the bike does what it supposed to do get wind between my fingers and the feeling of freedom. The newer bikes are nice and all but think about it this way why add more stress because you want something fancy because I’m sure that issue stressed you out man. The older you get you’ll understand but for now I wish you the best and like I said, you got it bud.

brother I am 100% convinced you watched 3 seconds of this video. This whole ordeal was from a BMW mechanic at the dealership

@@FastFlowKC Nah i watched all of it, just thought i'd share what i've found from my experiences

@@AllericEnslin Okay I read that comment wrong, that's my fault, thanks for sharing.

@@FastFlowKC No stress homie, thanks for the good content, ride safe.

If you wanna chop it up like that then yes lmao Appreciate you man! Hope the New Year treats you good.

Lmao realest sht Ive heard today

My guy always coming thru!

Thank you man I appreciate that! Work definitely could of been a lot more thorough that's forsure. Anyways hope you have a good new year.

Feeling like I'm the main character in the scene where the victim falls avoidably and just slow crawls to their demise 😂

It was a good run.. Yeah 2 1/2 years of ownership, 25k miles and NEVER HAD ONE PROBLEM. It was a good run having a low maintenance, no problems bike.

Yeah BMW has mostly been good when it comes to covering things like that fortunately. I had a 2011 s1k and when the fuel pump leaked they made me pay for it but reimbursed me a month after when they put the recall out for it.
