This week, we strip down the engine from my BMW S1000RR race bike to show you why it failed at Cadwell Park last year, and, ultimately, stopped me from finishing in second place in the championship.

Is that an f12
Alvaro is definitely as good a rider as Johnny and toprak
best thing my dad ever did with me was give me a 50 cc moped that was blown and let me pull it apart and put it back together was great fun and taught me a lot
As a retired VW/Audi tech and ride a sport bike I enjoyed the bike content.
Really interesting. Thanks.
How many purple epiq’s do you have? 😅
Good to see you doing my bread and butter at my old job😂…. We use a rag and small slide hammer to gently tug the outer cases off, works a treat and doesn’t mark up the case and you’re not levering.
Always love the bike content 👍
Enjoyed the bike engine build
Really enjoyed watching that, have a good time out in Spain fella 👍🏻 Not jealous at all 🤣
Very good stuff especially to a twat like me who is on his 10th RR (3x thefts 1x write off 2x track). I’ve got Evotech bar ends to counteract vibration. F love them. Great channel.
T50 runs 58,000 rpm a second. 0.2 seconds to the limited
Vtec technology on the cam
Love the bike content
are cranks usually salvageable if a bearing in spun?
Super informative video! Where is the crankshaft oil feed on this engine? Perhaps the rod bearing that failed is furthest from the feed?
bloody hell Ricky, if that's your missus on your phone your batting waaaayyyyy above your weight
Always a fascinating insight to engines and 70’s mufflers he he, cheers guys, hi to Kate 👍
Really enjoyed this one Ricky. I’m no mechanic in the slightest but love my bikes, but nonetheless I really enjoy your channel and the stuff that you do as I can see you don’t cut corners keep up the good work.
Loving the bike content. How much do you reckon you’re talking in parts cost v resale value once it’s back together?
Good stuff.
Great lesson about oil temp. In the Trans Am series, we had engine builders that used .0007 main clearance. You couldn't even START those engines without having the oil above 200F.
Certain irony that BMW cars don't have a water temp gauge but do have an oil temp gauge!
This has given me the motivation to strip my Gen 2 Daytona Engine that destroyed the balance shaft gear earlier this year… think that means, new crank, clutch basket and all the other components that go with an engine build… 😳
So my question is why aren't car engines this small then
Interesting about the Revs not giving any more power cheers Rik loved it good luck in Spain
Love the stuff about bikes …cars also ..great stuff!
Anyone experienced a broken tooth from the camshaft? I have on mine but can’t resolve the reason of failure 🧐
Couldn’t keep watching past the point he described the charging system as a generator ( it isn’t , it might be different from a car , but it’s still an alternator ) , then pointed and described the flywheel as a stator ( despite holding the actual stator in his hand ) . 😳
Expensive ouch, suprised about not reusing oil cooler assume flushing would not remove all debris
Brilliant contents as always. What dawned on me when looking at the s1000rr engine being stripped is that the engineering skill and design expertise will be utterly eradicated once the full switch to electric takes over. These engines are subject to the collective skills and ingenuity of engineers, designers and machinists who develop and test the fruits of their labour so we can ride. All this is lost when transportation is nothing more than glorified milk floats. A real shame and a key part of many people’s lives is brought to an end by politicians promoting a switch to a technology which doesn’t sort the issue in any case. Gutted.
The Rotary Crighton ( NORTON BACK IN TGE DAY )
Awesome content as always and great to see you break down a bike engine.
I've watched your videos before and loved the detailed engine work and humour…….have subscribed now as I'm a bike nut and thought this video was brilliant 🙂👍😎
Good to see how different bike engines are to car engines
I've got a GSX-R engine begging for a rebuild! ;-p
Doesn't say much about BMW if you can wreck the engine by working it hard before the oil is up to temperature, unless of course, it is not stock. Thank you.
love that, what is more enjoyable bike or car engines ? with the way a bike produces power and so compact what is more technical car engines or bike
Hi Rick, do you need to replace all 4 rods and bearings or only 1 or 2?
What's happening with the Skoda superb on the ramp??
Very interesting chat about world super bikes. Nice technical stuff as meda never do . Why do you think BMW and Honda are struggling in world superbikes. Wonder why Scott smart left fim ?
Great movie 😊 dodge had the cosi in the prototype
Been there done that!😂 S1000RR 3rd, then span a big end bearing. 2020 doesnt look much different bottom end from gen2
It is also the furthest bearing away from the oil pump.
bmw's are junk
More bike stuff is always welcome boys 👏🏻
Great to see a bike engine video.. 👍
its still an alternator, as in produces AC and then rectifies this to DC externally via the regulator.
"generators" in automotive terms are DC or AC or even sometimes both, bikes and cars havent used "generators" since the 60s and 70s!
although it is still a "generator" in the strictly technical sense.
But in automotive land the difference is also stationary windings/field on the alternator vs rotating windings/field and brushes on a generator.
generators were often 6v systems too.
the difference on a bike is that bikes generally use a PMA -a permanent magnet alternator and a regulator/rectifier separate from the windings
whereas a car alternator is two sets of windings that need "exciting" to produce a field by exciting the electromagnets in the rotor, and the out put level is generated on demand. so only a rectfier is needed , usually built into the back of the alternator, a car alternator wont produce electricity without a load applied whereas in a PMA alternator its producing power as long as the engine is turning hence the need for heat disspiation fins on the regulator rectifier unit that a car doesnt need.
The reason im saying all this is because he just called the rotor the stator and that upset me.
stator = stationary
rotor = rotary.
so there is no stator on the crank as he said in the video.
the stator came away with the casing.
