    I did that to my s1000r and it did fix it for a little while. I was against using aftermarket parts but couldn’t stand the rattle any longer so I went with a manual chain tensioner.
    APE is the brand and it’s very high quality. Problem solved and NO chain rattle for years now (not even on cold starts).

      What can happen if i didnt fix this rattle on startip? I have a s1kr too

      @@SuperBloder If you don’t fix the rattle on startups, increased wear from the timing chain and other related parts. When you change the oil, noticed how much metal shavings on the drain plug. After I replaced it with the manual chain tensioner, I no longer have metal particulates on the magnet.

      Hello I have a 2016 S1000XR. The mileage is 50,000 km and the upgraded parts shown in this video have been installed, but the loud and annoying sound continues to come out. So I'm thinking of installing a manual mechanical cap, but the mechanics say it could cause the cam chain to break. Is this true? I'm so curious.

      @@EOC-WORKS if you over tightened the tensioner, it could cause damage. You want to tighten the tensioner until the rattle goes away.

    Do we run the chance of wearing the cam chain tensioner slides out early with the increased force. Also has the factory suggested this.?? They ALL do seem to do this on this engine. If the fix was this easy???????

    Hi, I have some small oil seepage from where the black cap is. Its very minimal but you can feel it with your hand after wiping and going out for a ride. What do you suggest I do?

    All you need to do is remove the right hand side fairing and you can easily access the cct while holding the plastic shroud with one hand.

    Hi you. Nice video.
    Got a question for you, I’ve bought a 2015 s1kr with 41k km and when I’m downshifting from 2nd to 1rst with the clutch, mostly of the time while turning a corner or stopping at a stoplight, the engine stalls. I mean, it’s a very weird issue and I have no idea what’s going on with it. Did you ever have this issue?

    • @judgesan
      @judgesan  Рік тому

      I have 52k miles (87k kms) on my XR now and never had a stalling issue. I would suggest you take it to a competent BMW mechanic and have the issue diagnosed. Also have a look on the R forums and a google of the internet.

      ​@@danielbarberi7261 A bit late, but this is often caused by a poorly adjusted clutch lever sensor. Just bend the pin a bit more outwards so it touches the lever better.
      If this clutch lever sensor isn't working correctly, that could also break the working of the quickshifter.

    Have you considered a mechanical chain tensioners prior to getting this?

    • @judgesan
      @judgesan  3 роки тому +3

      I did consider a manual tensioner but the fact BMW has developed a fix (the silver cap), I felt it was better to try the BMW fix. The BMW hydraulic tensioner also remains auto adjusting with the silver cap fix.
