2019 BMW S 1000RR Overview

For 2019, BMW offers the S 1000RR as a sport motorcycle with 999 cc on tap. The 2019 BMW S 1000RR is built around an In-line four, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 13.3:1. Out on the road, the S 1000RR delivers 152 kW @ 13500 rpm of peak power and 113 Nm @ 10500 rpm of torque. Flat out, it's quoted at 200 km/h. In everyday use, the 2019 S 1000RR tips the scales at Standard: 197 kg, carries a 16.5-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 824 mm and spans a 1441 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 5.7 kg lighter than the average sport motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2019 BMW S 1000RR spec sheet below.

2019 S 1000RR - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: Peak output on the S 1000RR is 152 kW @ 13500 rpm and 113 Nm @ 10500 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.

Considerations

Tall seat height: A 824 mm seat puts flat-footing out of reach for a lot of riders - sit on it in person before committing.
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the S 1000RR comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Valve clearance checks

Valve clearances on Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC)-equipped engines like the S 1000RR's drift slowly with mileage rather than failing suddenly - sticking to the service interval keeps it a non-issue.

Brake disc and pad wear

2x 320mm floating disc, radial 4-piston fixed calipers up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by Upside-down telescopic fork, slide tube diameter 45 mm, spring preload, compression and rebound stage adjustable, DDC option: damping electronically adjustable up front and Aluminium underslung double-sided swinging arm with central spring strut, spring preload, adjustable compression and rebound stage, DDC option: damping electronically adjustable at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Chain final drive on the S 1000RR means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.

Frame & chassis check

The Aluminium composite bridge frame, self-supporting engine chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.

S 1000RR - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2019 BMW S 1000RR should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept S 1000RR settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a S 1000RR's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the S 1000RR's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.

Valve clearance service

There's no reliable seat-of-the-pants way to tell if a S 1000RR's valve clearances are in spec - a light top-end tick is the only real warning sign, and by then some wear has already happened. Service records are the only proof.
