I like that you appreciate bikes remaining OEM and putting them back to OEM. Can't tell you how many times I've had to reverse engineer what others have done to motorcycles to place them back to OEM.

I absolutely love the fact that you bought a very distastefully modded HP4, and that you are now restoring it to its former glory. Well done, sir! Keep up the good work!

Man I been a sub since the very very beginning and I love how your channel has grown yet your content has not changed much (really good from the beginning). Looking forward to more videos!

I recently got a M1000RR and regret selling my HP, loved watching this video, by no means am i a mechanic but its great how you show everything. Nice and simple. Wish id tried more mods on mine. looking forward to what you post next

Speaking from experience here...get yourself the Akrapovic mid pipe along with an ECU flash (Max BMW or Bren Tuning) once you've gotten used to the bike. When I got my HP4 flashed and dyno tuned it became a completely different animal. Mine was one of the very first bikes in the US. Build #0585. Love those LED headlights.

I remember doing alot more cussing changing my rear wheel,chain and sprockets! Hats off to you brother,that's why I love your channel. Not to mention you have every single bike I've owned minus an 02 GSXR 1000 that was my 1st streetbike and I traded it for my sv650 when I realized I would be dead if I kept it.

That’s an insane difference on the headlights!

Looking to purchase a HP4 at the end of the year watching your videos how to take these bikes apart are really helpful thanks for uploading ride safe bud 😉👍

Wow the difference is insane on the lighting

I have been watching your channel almost from the beginning and will keep watching. You are informative and interesting instead of these other guys that just squid around being obnoxious. I still want to buy your RC51. I promise I will take care of it. We can ride together too I'm right over the line in CT down 290 and 395

Awesome vid, I had to go thru trial and error with my HP4. The rear wheel is a bitch, I went with the foot method. I loosen the rear axle, go behind and jam my foot under to "lift" a little on the tire, then pull out the axle. Then move the foot and tire drops to floor, then wheel it back past the brake calipers. Hope this helps! Cheers!

Can you please explain in detail why frame sliders are bad.

Super tasteful mods buddy! Loved how the new lights look! Waiting for the next video

my dream HP4 would have blue tinted CF rims and maybe a custom rear end, as i feel the 1st gen designs have the rear end tad too long. and of course the LED mod that you installed, thats even nicer than HID

You need to fully slide the rear calipers off the rail, the same time you’re removing the wheel.

Pirelli Diablo Rosso III and Metzeler Roadtec 01 tyres are the best tyres I've had for heavy rain, icy roads and all other conditions

I bought the same tires for my bike except I got 180 55 in the rear. I put about 100 miles on them and caught a flat in the rear, thank God i had a plug kit with me,

Thank God for showing me that I will buy one of each of them

Axle sliders have saved my fork bottoms and swingarm on more than one occasion on the track, not sure what your experience is with them causing more harm than good...they're not like frame sliders because of how low and recessed in and won't catch on anything

i got the same headlights , and dayum some screws are made for gnomefingers . but looks pretty sexy

Nice vid. Love the levers and great tyre choice. Please take my next points constructively, I'm an ex aircraft mechanic and was spanner man on a gen 2 S1000rr race bike from brand new until a couple of years ago. Now using the new blade. So I know tools and I know your bike inside out. Get out of the habit of double torquing. One click is all you need. The 2nd click is over torquing. The few degrees beyond the click is over tightening too. I'd knock those bad habits outta ya on day 1 in my hanger. It stretches bolts and is just bad mechanical practice. Yup you see it on loads of KZfaq videos... but it is bad technique. Quit it. Period! It's easier to whip the rear brake caliper out. It's also easier to make something to hold the front calipers out of harm's way, to avoid scratching pretty rims. I used lock wire or cable ties. Loop a couple together and hang from the clip ons or the indicators. Just to loosely keep them out of your work space and avoid chipping paint or scratches.

I have those on my Blackbird. Talk about a game changer!

Awesome as always (grease the axle next time)!

What a beautiful bike

Gr8 vid, hero. Ride safe, god bless u.

Great video, I just got a 2013 s1000rr it on!y has 1048 miles on it , It's basically a brand new bike, I'd be happy to but your old levers for my bike.

- No sarcasm here - how can the axil sliders do more harm then good ?? P.a .. you’ve a great voice .. for whatever reason I like hearing you talk - ha

Great vid as always. The blue levers went with the bikes color scheme in my eyes far better. White Blue and Carbon fiber just works on that bike.

Great vid, what exactly do axle sliders do that are bad?

Another awesome watch and learn video. Well done

Glad you got rid of those blue levers

Tip: only apply force to the end of the torque wrench. With one hand mid and one at then end it won't allow it to read correctly and speed up the movement too fast which will not set torque correctly. Nice vid man - keep em coming :O)

This is my ultimate dream bike,loving the mods too keep em coming ♥️

Masking tape on the rim to protect it from the caliper. Or a rag over the caliper works too

The upgrades look great. Just a FYI though, it's not "Motard"...... and you you use WAY WAY too much Loctite (rear spools).

Beautiful bike

Gorgeous bike man! I've got the same one but its not as pristine as yours. Whoever you bought it from took AMAZING care of it. Good find! I'm considering some of the same mods for mine that you showed in this video. Mine went down the other day (you wouldn't believe how it happened even if I told you) and so as much as I hate to add some ugly frame sliders I'd rather do that and have the protection...any recommendations?

Great upgrades, especially the lights and tires!

those headlights are soooo clean

Led so nice

nice gains i see on the arms. looking ripped

Could You further explain WHY IS IT SPECIFICALLY........that You do not care for Axle-sliders? I'm sure there's MANY VIEWERS watching,that are wondering "WHY" regarding that!!! Thank You. Btw,LOVE the new levers man! NICE!!! :>)

About the rear wheel making it past the rear brake caliper: can't you remove the brake caliper from it's mounting point when the rear axle is removed? would make it a lot easier to remove the rear wheel without doing damage to it

These videos are relaxing

Beautiful bike. Very nice design👍

those levers are over priced !! lol ... but i love those LED headlights ... can you do a full review on them?

You should do track content.

I got 5 months until I can get a new bike lol, it’s either one of these, a Panigale V4 (standard, not racing it lol so Showa suspension is fine for me) or a 2015-2018 Yamaha R1

Dam!!! Those calves are looking EPIC!!!!

I love this hp4

That winglet type mirrors made me cringe hard thank you for getting rid of em cheers 😀

FUCK YES BMW LEVERS dude yes ur the fuckin man I knew u knew better dude I’m so proud of u they look so clean and the led goes CRAZYYY gun metal looks sick

Sheesh~ Me lovin', yes

Amazing with the tutorial game! Keep it up!

Dope levers!!

The OEM look is much better, but could you explain why the front axle sliders are a bad idea? Cheers

Hey HeroRR, do you mind sending us a link to the torque wrench you are using? Thanks!

Bonjour, Où peut-on acheter le kit pour les feux led? Merci.

Looks great!

Like your video like your work you know what you're doing I have a good question I have the same bike not the HP4 but the S1000RR My question to you is you mention something about 200 tires on my on mine the swing harm set I can go up to 200 however however I do not have forge wheels Can I use a site 200 as well?

Those levers look nice and all but if there almost $300 like you said you're mostly paying for that bmw brand

Nice work so far👍 did you drop a spacer or small journal from the brake lever? I had a similar loose fitting lever once and I'd missed a spacer that I should have transferred from the old lever.

What’s the link to where you got the levers? I can’t seem to find them

I'm curious to know why you say the axle sliders "can cause more damage than good most of the time"? Btw, I don't use them, I'm really just curious to know your reasons. EDIT: The LEDs look cool but it has a lot of black spots compared to Stock... in terms of visibility range the Stock is better.

Maybe I missed it, but you're going to aim the headlights, right? That beam pattern is super fucked.

Yes

Great video ❤️

3 million bolts to change a headlight! jeez! that's why love nakeds.... xD

Front calibers alignment wasnt done properly. Brake pads might be in touch with discs and dont run freely.

Hi! Where did you buy your headlights?

So LED headlights are OEM on the HP4? Didn’t know that. If not I’m confused bc he specifically said on multiple occasions that this bike is going back to OEM specs. 🤔

Why didn't you lube the front axle when you put it back in ?

Not gonna lie was expecting a little burn on the old tire before removing 😁

I don´t like bmw bikes but this one is rly nice and fast :D

the number one feel of a bike is its tires...js

My hp4 is still new only 3k miles

Still confused on why s1000rr's have asymmetric head lamps

um...I'm sure you can get huge money for the beautiful factory pulls...imo

What u think about gixxer 750r 2009-2012 ?

Hi. I wanted to buy a 2004 CBR 1000RR but a couple of motorcyclists told me not to take that bike. The transmission breaks down and consumes engine oil. Do you know anything about that model?

How u affording these bikes? Am scrapimg money to even be able to buy my dream honda a '05 fireblade.... and they aren considerd cheap by now

those fucking bicep tho XD

👌

Yes things that save your swing arm and etc do more harm than good 🤦🏻‍♂️

Modding 1000? Must be expert rider if you have true need for modded 1000.

brooo please send me the old ones, mine are cracked i swear 😂

I think michellins are overrated, u cudve also gone with continental or Bridgestone. Just an opinion

Stock lights were waaaaaaaay better

If you want t start doing track days . Just buy an f4i save your self from the stugel

3 years ago u said u would never get a 1000cc bike

wait, your 10mm wasn't lost...

LOL got rid of some "tacky" mods last video, reintroduced some this video!!! Ebay is a helluva drug

Not quite there on front wheel re-install....loads of mistakes ...instead of explaining, check out this Dave Moss' video link...... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/er94iZpp2b3XYZc.html Never been totally impressed by the mighty BMW..test rode a few back in 2010, then again 2014..almost purchased the gen 1 version ...but ended up having Fast by Ferracci install a 102mm BCM overbore kit in my Duc 999 w/ Pistal HC pistons, do some port work, lighten up the primary gear, flywheel, add Corse performance cams ...not 180 rwhp..but 149/86 ft lbs was fine as the BMW handling paled in comparo to my Duc999...wasn't even close. First time using a quick shifter on the Beemer, balky at low rpm, but above 5K your a WSBK racer replete w/ ignition cut-off 'pop' !!! Anyway, the BMW had no mid range...all up top but holy cow was it a vicious machine WOT... Another well done video RR

First time on your channel s1krr is dream been ever since it was launched in 2009 but the headlights the reason I sub to your never liked the halo headlights. BMW is cheap and low for not giving customers standard from day one

And this is why i hate fully faired bikes.. just too much plastic

actual first

actually i was first

First
