I was just waiting for my PC to blow up... BMW S1000RR Valves at Full RPM Watch the valve springs how they rotate up at the higher RPM. 13000 rpm divided by 4 = 3250 opening and closing per minute. 3250 divided by 60 sec. = 54.2 a sec 195,000 Opening and closing each second is that right?
Ummm is this a trick question?? 3250 opening per minute would be 195,000 per hour, or 54.2 openings per second. It's unbeleivable that the springs could maintain proper valve sealing & float the valves at those speeds
I saw a nature show the other day and am sure that a hummingbird has 54 beats per second. I think you guys are confusing the new BMW with a bird. Seriously tho, that bike is sick with the electronics being the highlight IMO, well electronics and 180 rwhp. Numereous modes for a riders safety just incase too much right hand twist happens. Rain modes, anti wheelie modes blah blah blah. All great stuff until you hop on a real (non electronic) bike, yard the throttle and it highsides you to the moon.
Awesome video And some people wonder why they have to change their oil so frequently. Its a wonder it lasts as long as it does. That oil has to beat to death.
Oil gets dirty from contamination.Clutch crap and piston blow by.Hence when you have a Diesel engine and have major blow by on every power stroke because of extreme cylinder pressure the oil has to be able to absorb the bad stuff[detergents] and the filter scrubs it.Go to Del West if you want to see how extreme valve train geometry is done.Twin cam boys take note
