The chassis was also updated, with the front suspension being lifted by 4 mm (0.2 in) and the rear being dropped by 5 mm (0.2 in). The optional DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) was also updated, smoothing the butterfly valve action when a wheelie was detected, providing a less violent intervention to the bikes front wheel lifting off the ground. This allowed for the oil sump heat shield to be removed, saving a small amount of weight.

The intake and exhaust systems also received updates, the ram air intake was made to be 20% larger, as well as moving the catalytic converters to the muffler from the headers. To further aid this issue, BMW updated the throttle tube to be lighter and have a shorter pull. It was given a new face of the tachometer as well as new throttle maps for each of the four riding modes, to combat throttle response issues that customers were facing with the bike. In 2012, the bike received slightly more significant changes. The 2011 bike remained unchanged, keeping the same livery options, engine, chassis and suspension. After the initial delivery of motorcycles the factory started shipping them with a software governor that limited RPM to 9000 for a short break in period that was later removed by the dealers. This is a clutchless shifter that allowed you to upshift with no clutch actuation even at full throttle. It was also the first production motorcycle to offer an optional quick shifter. On top of this, it came standard with three riding modes (Wet, Sport and Race) with an additional riding mode (Slick) available only after connecting a dongle, that you received with the bike, to a special jack under the seat.

The bike came factory fitted with ABS and dynamic traction control, a first for road-going superbike at the time. The S1000RR was released in 2009 and was considered the best-equipped sport bike in the 1000 cc category, and with a bore and stroke of 80.0 mm × 49.7 mm (3.1 in × 2.0 in), it also had the biggest bore in its class.
