Be interesting to see if and what's different and what mods work on the 2023 S1000RR.

It appears the new top yoke tames the vibrations and this is the second person that has described the bike as "smooth".

This is true, and the HP rating is the same also as K67 20-22

151KW or 202.4 crankshaft HP.. not the rear tire

I have the race code already for the 2023 and awaiting a test bike still to see if the ECU can be accessed.

Zak brags about how smooth it feels, some of it is that nice solid cast copy of the M1000RR upper triple. I rode my 2022 last weekend and I have the billet M1000RR upper on it and it is even more smooth than my 2021 which also has the M1000RR upper. The 22 engine is updated slightly over the 2021.. BMW Motorrad never releases data on the updates. It would cause people under warranty to request the updates and call it a defect fix, not an upgrade fix.

HorsePower and torque are a product of measurement from work output.

The problem is that BMW Motorrad uses CRANKSHAFT HP numbers. Tuners like myself use real world rear tire numbers.

If you take the 205HP crank and you take away the driveline loss of 12HP there about. It works out to the real world Dyno Horsepower number most will see and many have posted.

205-12 = 193HP rear tire horsepower.

WSBK and everyone else uses crank horse power numbers as well because it makes the bikes sound fast and powerful.

I have clearly shown that 203/204HP at the rear tire works forward from driveline loss to 216HP at the crankshaft. Now some tuners like to brag this number and try to make themselves look good / better than another that uses the real world what you see as a consumer at the rear tire.

210 is the new UK crankshaft horse power if one is to believe that is what the 2023 will dyno at really. If you work that backwards to the rear tire we have 198HP at the rear tire. that is respectable and about what alot of tuners are putting out there with their tunes. About 198 at the tire. I have very consistent results at 203/204HP at that tire.

I have the M1000RR and all the K67 S1000RR's now. 23 maybe next month. I had to buy a new truck that came in early last week. So I ordered the 23 a little late for this batch hitting now.

There is only a little magic to the M1000RR air box. I will build a thread on it. The external of the air box casing is exactly the same S1000RR to M1000RR. The different is the boot sealing and the secondary velocity stacks.

Maybe there's some misunderstanding here, I'm very aware of driveline loss and don't expect to see 210rwhp even at stage 2. It looked like you were saying that the K67 20-22 vs K67 23 would be the same crank hp at 202. Even before the bike was fully announced, there was talk about 2.5 hp over the 22 year, the head and airbox would seem to be able to accomplish that number. What is the real difference in the specs? Why is the US 205hp and the EU 210hp? If it's the tune, then that number is irrelevant correct, because we'll just tune it back up anyways?

@Cobradaddy it is impossible to beleive what Motorrad post in press releases. Things change, rules with Euro and EPA change, nothing is set in stone these days.

Currently ISTA and AIR of Motorrad show >

The 2023 S1000RR Euro is 154KW which is 206.5 HP.. and again, these are BMW Motorrad crankshaft HP numbers. Euro S1000RR 2019 to 2022 was 152KW which is 203.8 HP

The 2023 S1000RR USA is 151KW and the same on the 2020-22 S1000RR 151KW which is 202.4HP at the crankshaft.

Of course it is the tune. The ECU has so much control these days this S1000RR is sold to countries that have more restriction when the USA.

The air box thread

As per this response, it looks like the EU bike has seen the HP increase from the M parts and most likely the US model has been tuned more restricted to match the same output as last year. One seems like they can assume once tuned, the bike will make more power than the 22s.

I'm also aware how BMW can not be that reliable with information, there might be a Sh1t storm once people realise they're not getting reasets in the billet package, even though the website includes them.

In this older pre-release article, I found these two points interesting. I doubt one tooth will eliminate the US flat spot but it appears that hardware and software change may help? We'll have to wait for some owners to chime in. Number 3 may be why I'm seeing comments about MY2023 being smoother.

2. The rear sprocket is one tooth larger. The RR gained a tooth in the rear and should also liven-up acceleration. Whether that helps alleviate the noise emission-related flat spots we experienced on the 2020 BMW S 1000 RR remains to be seen.

3. Revised quickshifter settings are a welcome change. Engineers have altered the quickshifter’s programming, applying a new torque model to assist with shifts across the rpm spectrum. Reaction times are refined, which we hope leads to smoother shifting.

Looks that way. Or they build a brace to go behind the fairings. Not sure if needed as much anymore with the wings? They will hit before the sliders

M1000RR and S1000RR fairings interchange 2020-2023

The M1000 has that support brace in the fairing stay area but would also work on the S1000 if you really wanted that carbon fiber piece to the support the winglets at 100+MPH

Wow. For the price of the M1000RR carbon support brace it might be cheaper to buy the 2023 S1000RR support braces + fairings + wings! :eek:

If that hex head bolt is allowing the plastic panel to rest on it with very much pressure, I can assure you from vibration of riding, that paint will chip off the panel and likely even cause a mark in the plastic it self.

Sadly, the R&G non symmetrical frame sliders also have a slight issue with rubbing. The left side one will rub if you have the aero slider positioned parallel to the ground. If you allow the slider to be turned a bit where the back tear drop is pointing downward, it won't touch. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal but BMW_388 is correct that over time the slider will rub through the paint. This has happened on mine and I only have about 2200 or so miles on my bike. It's a small area which I'll see if a place such as Colorite or Dr Colorchip will make an equivalent touch up paint. Or I'll just go to my trusted body shop and have the painter mix up one for me.
