My BMW S1000 XR 18,000 mile Service Shocker! Plus Track Day news and Riding Style update!

The 18,000 service on my BMW S1000 XR included a couple of extras that bumped the price up to a scarcely believable £1800!! The main reason for the high cost was due to having the chain and sprockets changed. This was well overdue too, despite having the M-Endurance chain. The other main reason is that I really don't look after my poor bikes very well and this ends up costing me money! I still live in the hope that I will one day change my ways... I also chat about a change of plan and some complications for my planned track days next year. I also end up talking about a (long overdue some would say) change to my riding style which means riding has just become more fun 😉😁 Timestamps: 0:00 That service... 7:39 2026 Track Day complications 16:32 IAM Roadsmart already making a difference!
