2010 BMW S 1000RR Overview

The 2010 BMW S 1000RR is a sport motorcycle built around 999 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits an In-line four, four-stroke engine running DOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 13:1. 2010 BMW S 1000RR delivers 143.9 kW @ 13000 rpm of peak power and 112 Nm @ 9750 rpm of torque. The factory-quoted top speed stands at 299 km/h, making it a capable performer in its class. From a practical standpoint, the 2010 S 1000RR tips the scales at 204 kg, carries a 17.5-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 820 mm and spans a 1422 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 9.4 kg heavier than the average sport motorcycle in our database. Scroll down for the complete 2010 BMW S 1000RR spec sheet covering every technical detail from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2010 BMW S 1000RR compared with other bikes in the Sport category

Here is how the 2010 BMW S 1000RR stacks up against other bikes in the Sport category in our database. Each model counts once, using the model year closest to this one, and the comparison covers up to 1341 models.

Top speed of 299 km/h is higher than that of 850 of the other 879 bikes in the Sport category.
Only 105 of the other 1340 bikes in the Sport category have a higher power output than the 143.9 kW of the S 1000RR.
With 705 W/kg, the S 1000RR has the joint 84th highest power-to-weight ratio of 727 bikes in the Sport category, 83% above the category average of 385 W/kg.
Narrowing the field to the 298 models within five model years of it, the top speed of 299 km/h is higher than that of 274 of the other 297.

Versus the 2009 model

Compared with the 2009 model, wet weight dropped from 206.5 kg to 204 kg (-2.5 kg) and top speed increased from 200 km/h to 299 km/h (+99 km/h). Displacement is unchanged.

2010 S 1000RR - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: 2010 BMW S 1000RR makes 143.9 kW @ 13000 rpm with 112 Nm @ 9750 rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
Fuel injection: The fuel injection system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
Strong front braking: The disc front brake gives excellent stopping power and responds well to aftermarket braided lines.

Considerations

Tall seat height: The 820 mm seat height will challenge shorter riders - tiptoeing at low speeds is something to factor into your decision.
Chain final drive upkeep: Chain final drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get full life out of the sprockets.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

The Liquid cooled. system on the S 1000RR needs a coolant change roughly every two years (or per the service schedule) - skipping it lets the coolant turn acidic and corrode the aluminium water passages over time.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling comes from fuel injection. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.

Valve clearance checks

DOHC valve actuation on the S 1000RR means clearances should be checked at the manufacturer's specified interval - they can tighten as mileage accumulates, and a light top-end tick is usually the first sign.

Brake disc and pad wear

The disc front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.

Suspension condition on used examples

Up front, the S 1000RR runs 43mm Telescopic fork and Cast aluminium double-strut swingarm with eccentric adjustment for rear axle, central spring strut, spring pre-load hydraulically adjustable at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Final drive is by chain - expect to clean and lube it every few hundred kilometres and check tension regularly; a neglected chain wears the sprockets faster than the chain itself.

Frame & chassis check

The frame is Bridge-type aluminium frame, load-bearing engine - worth a visual check for corrosion or impact damage around the head-stock and swingarm pivot on any used example, since frame damage is far costlier to fix than any service item.

S 1000RR - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2010 BMW S 1000RR with its 999 cc sport, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the drivetrain for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 16 years old, this sport is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained S 1000RR should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task for the S 1000RR's 999 cc in-line four, four-stroke. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. The sump holds 3.4 l, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. With a 13:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Fuel system care

The S 1000RR's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.

Valve clearance service

Check that valve clearances have been adjusted at the correct intervals on any used S 1000RR. A bike with clearances out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but tight clearances accelerate valve seat wear. Ask for service documentation proving it's been done.
