Official Workshop Manual Compression Test Protocol

Step 0 of 5 Completed

Step 1: Engine Operating Temperature

Run engine until coolant reaches 60°C - 80°C (140°F - 176°F). Cylinder expansion brings rings and pistons to true operating clearances.

Step 2: Spark Plug Removal & Port Clean

Blow compressed air around spark plug wells to eject grit, then remove all spark plugs. Thread in M10 x 1.0 whip adapter hand-tight with fresh O-ring.

Step 3: Wide-Open Throttle (WOT) Lock

Hold throttle grip fully wide open (or lock throttle bodies open) to eliminate intake butterfly vacuum restriction and ensure 100% volumetric cylinder filling.

Step 4: Battery Tender Voltage Stabilization

Connect a 12V shop battery tender or booster. Starter must sustain uninterrupted cranking speed (350 RPM) to build maximum dynamic stroke pressure.

Step 5: Crank 4-6 Compression Strokes

Engage starter until gauge needle ceases rising (typically 4 to 6 strokes). Record maximum peak pressure and compare against the OEM limits above.

NHTSA #26V115000EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH

Received: 26/02/2026▼

Defect Description

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling one 2026 S 1000 RR motorcycle. The turn signal reset button can be unintentionally activated at the same time as the turn signal, resulting in an inoperative turn signal. As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Safety Hazard / Consequence

Turn signals that fail to activate as intended increase the risk of a crash.

Factory Remedy & Repair Action

A dealer will replace the combination switch, free of charge. The motorcycle has not yet been sold and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov on April 20, 2026.
