According to the BMW Motorrad S 1000 RR (K67) Official Rider’s Manual Specifications, the 2019–Present BMW S 1000 RR (K67 ShiftCam) (chassis K67/0E21/0E61) requires 3.6 L (3.80 US qt) of SAE 5W-40 (JASO MA2, API SJ or higher (No Moly Additives!)) engine oil for a drain-only change and 4 L (4.23 US qt) with filter service (11427721779 / HF160). Standard solo cold tire pressure is 250 kPa / 2.50 bar / 36 PSI front (120/70ZR17 M/C (58W)) and 290 kPa / 2.90 bar / 42 PSI rear (190/55ZR17 or 200/55ZR17 (M Pkg)), paired with 4× NGK LMAR9D-J spark plug(s) and a M Lightweight LiFePO4 / YTZ10S battery.
Drain only: 3.6 L (3.80 US qt)
R 290 kPa (2.90 bar)
Est. Range: ~257 km (160 mi)

4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
K67 models (2019+) introduced ShiftCam variable intake timing, gaining winglets and 210 hp in 2023+ (0E61). M-Package bikes ship with a 200/55ZR17 rear tire and a LiFePO4 lithium battery.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
BMW strictly specifies SAE 5W-40 JASO MA2 (Advantec Pro) for instantaneous cold hydraulic tensioner & ShiftCam response, and explicitly prohibits molybdenum-based oil additives that attack DLC-coated valvetrain parts.
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Never connect a standard lead-acid charger with an automatic desulfation mode to BMW’s M Lightweight LiFePO4 battery—use a dedicated 14.4V LiFePO4 charger only.
- Street cold pressure is 2.5 / 2.9 bar (36 / 42 PSI), which is far too high for track days—always re-inflate back to 2.5 / 2.9 bar before riding home on public highways.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the oil viscosity and capacity for the BMW S 1000 RR (K67)?
BMW specifies SAE 5W-40 JASO MA2 with a capacity of 4.0 L (4.2 US qt) including oil filter replacement.
Are oil friction additives safe in the S 1000 RR ShiftCam engine?
Strictly prohibited—BMW’s Rider’s Manual warns that molybdenum or aftermarket oil additives can damage coated internal ShiftCam components and glaze the wet clutch.
What cold street tire pressures does BMW recommend for the S 1000 RR?
Cold street pressures are 250 kPa / 2.5 bar (36 PSI) front and 290 kPa / 2.9 bar (42 PSI) rear.
