Did yours break down to the point where it wouldn’t run and throttle inputs would do nothing?Mine runs perfect now, and I am the OP. Once fixed you will be good to go.
They say it’s like being married to a supermodel having a Ducati 😂Crazy isn’t it. I gotta say... I have had many new Harleys, BMW’s, Ducati’s and I can’t even count how many Japanese machines... I have had issues with almost every non Japanese machine and only one out of dozens of Japanese. My Africa Twin started switch failed a year out of warranty.... My dealer said it was a $200 part but Honda agreed to replace it free of charge... My Ducati dealer would say there was nothing wrong with it! 😂
What kind of issues are you having? Working on a race team and we are running the new 2020 s1000rr.I also have the new BMW s1000rr and that thing has been plagued with issues as well. Fortunately, both of my dealers have been great. For me, however, I just have that kind of luck. If I bought a bag of rocks, they would all be broken when I received them. 😁
We put on the jet prime controls and cut the heated grip wires. lolThere is a great thread on S1000rr forum entitled mechanical issues which lays out everything.

2020 RR Post your mechanical issues
Don't have heated grips… Thank you very much! ??? The 2020s come stock with heated grips. Right?www.s1000rrforum.com
Update: My bike has had new throttle bodies fitted under warranty as apparently they were seized and couldn’t be moved by hand.
Bike rides great now. Phew got there in the end and now I will sell it..
Excellent! Glad they finally got it sorted. This is the same issue they are having world wide... good luck!Update: My bike has had new throttle bodies fitted under warranty as apparently they were seized and couldn’t be moved by hand.

You are exactly right. I had to seek legal counsel to get mine fixed. Never had an issue like this with a manufacture or dealer before. They are setting up for a wrongful death lawsuit when somebody’s bike stalls and causes a major wreck. Also, wiggle your chain guard... mine is loose. I have read that they have recalled them in some parts of the world but not here... Ridiculous...Hopefully they will start acknowledging it soon to save people the hassle that we’ve all had to go through.
That being said they’ve now lost me as a customer as I can’t be dealing with that kinda crap on a brand new bike.
Shocking really and dangerous
funny you should say that as mine was replaced also as I thought it only fair that the dealer that helped me out should get the annual service out of it and they found the chain guard broken during the service And replaced that under warranty also.You are exactly right.

Not trying to be critical, more curious. Surprised that you finally got the bike sorted and now you are gonna sell it? I would think this was the opportune time to go enjoy that perfectly running bike after spending all that time getting it fixed.Gonna sell it ASAP now though, it’s got the full termignoni on it so hopefully that helps it sell quick as I want out of it now.
I get what you’re saying but the part it’s been replaced with is exactly the same as what failed and the original didn’t even last 3000 miles so I don’t want to be in this position again in 3000 miles and I’ve fallen out with the local dealers as they were rubbish so I don’t have any local places for servicing to be done.Not trying to be critical, more curious.
