BMW S1000R CHAIN ADJUSTMENT.. ⚠️THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW. ⚠️

[@markandchristinenorman8247]

It's worth pointing out that you should check for the tightest point on the chain before you start. If that chain is worn, and it looks like it is, it could be 45 at loose point and 35 at tight. If you tighten loose to 35 then the tight will be 25 which is too tight! Find the tightest spot first and adjust to 35. Then find loose point. If that is over 45 the chain is out of wear and needs replacing.

I totally understand this. And it makes sense

I'm dead. This is how I always say it now

[@kugangles9860]

I've never put Loctite on any of my bikes (both dirt and street) that I've owned and I never had a problem with the axle bolt loosen. As long as it torqued down to spec.

As usual a great video thanks. If you didn't already know Motoscan will now calibrate ESA on later R series bikes. Just tried it on my 1250rs, worked a treat.

How are you watching your videos makes it seem, im watching Jackien Chan showing his expertise and knowledge from his house in Japan, great videos, previously looking at the Cbr 600, been having mine for 10 years thank you

[@kuhnibert9863]

Would be realy interesting how to change the sprocktes and chain. Great video 👍

[@TheOldMechanic]

Great suggestion! 👍🏻👊🏻😉

Dank je wel voor deze video. Heb wel een uur geklungeld ermee. Het stellen lukte, maar wanneer ik de moer weer aandraaide was het te strak 😅. Afdoende leert men toch?! Heb de S1000R 2017 pas 3 weken en heb er inmiddels ruim 2000 km mee gereden. Heb er veel schik mee. Net terug uit Winterberg. Dus vandaar dat ik de ketting wilde controleren. Niet voor niks, dus. Voorheen de K1300s. Kardan.

@theoldmechanic Can you do a video on checking the valves in the s1000r? I am coming close to the 30.000km where the valves and timing need checking :/ thank you in advance!

[@Vjekoslav-vf3hr]

Where did u put Loctite? Under axle nut? What is Loctite number?

[@MrRadialdrift]

Ahh, you can clearly see what number is on the loctite bottle.

[@TheOldMechanic]

Put it on the threat of the axle 😉

I‘ve done it yesterday on my 23’ S1000R. I have 40mm. But now…the whole bike vibrates massive. I will make it loose to 45mm

[@TheOldMechanic]

Did that solved it ?

[@MaximusDecimusMeridius63]

@@TheOldMechanic I gonna‘ try it today. Now i have about 48mm. But the chain still doesn‘t touch the under pad. I talked to a BMW mechanic and he said to me, this tolerance specifications are for riders with 80kg. He said to me sit on the bike, and if the chain is 1,5-2cm moveable it is perfect.

[@MaximusDecimusMeridius63]

@@TheOldMechanic Because with 40mm, i just had about 5mm when i was sitting on it

토크렌치 조임값이 얼마입니까? 55mm복스알이 맞습니까?
