Making 193bhp and 83lb/ft of torque, the 2010 BMW S1000RR is the most powerful 1000cc production bike on the market.

WoW!! Thats wild. See the valve springs and retainers rotating?

I feel like I should have safety glasses on.

Not only that, but the one on the right, the retainer is floating off the spring enough to rotate independent of the spring.

That rotation is interesting. I don't know if they actually switched directions or if it's a result of the RPM's outdoing the FPS of the video.

An education on resonance modes.

You can see the spring coils go through a series of resonance modes as the engine is accelerating- (coil gaps changing)

And the system goes through resonance modes as shown by the changing rotation of the spring and retainer.

A variable strobe light would have shown more.

All I see is............

Where would we be without YOUTUBE?

What will we get to see in another 20 years! The library is growing daily.
