Limit for running-in rpm
S 1000 RR (K46, 0507/0517)
Management Situation
The high-performance engine of the S 1000 RR (K46, 0507/0517) has to be run in with
Marketing particular care, as described in the Rider's Manual.
Running in the engine at low to medium rpm and at low to medium load enables the moving
parts to bed in smoothly against each other. BMW Motorrad has ascertained that in isolated
Sales
New Motorcycles cases there has been a lack of due compliance with the specified running-in procedure. For
example, within the framework of racetrack use there have been reports of full power being

Limit for running-in rpm
Note
running-
It is not permissible to hand over a new motorcycle to a customer unless the limit for running-in rpm has
been set. When handing over the motorcycle, be sure to explain clearly and in detail that the engine's
running-
maximum rpm is limited for the duration of the running-in period.
If the motorcycle's engine is replaced, the new engine's rpm must be limited and the engine
has to be run in strictly in accordance with the running-in procedure.
When a motorcycle is brought to the workshop for its BMW running-in check after 500-
1200 km, the limit for running-in speed has to be deleted: this applied to both the series
solution and the service solution.
This functionality is available as of CIP update 14.4 from March 05, 2010 onward, and ISTA/P

Maintenance schedule 00 00 119 "BMW running-in check" has been expanded to include the
