BMW s1000rr Cam Chain Tensioner Removal and Explanation of Parts

This 2010 BMW S1000rr has a two second rattle on start up. This video will show you where the cam chain tensioner is located, how to remove the tensioner and explains the pieces inside.
My other video lets you hear the 2 second rattle on startup caused by the tensioner.
Tensioner has 16000 miles on it.

When doing just valve clearance check...is it mandatory to check cam timing?

[@sunyoungg5634]

That small ball bearing is a check valve to hold hydraulic pressure when the engine is off - if that check valve is bad the timing chain will rattle on startup until oil pressure loads up the tensioner again.

Hello bro thanks for video Do i need to adjust the cam chain before remove the tensioner?

[@GeneralGP114]

Did you replace it with the same one or an aftermarket one ?

[@christiangarcia930]

U didn't put the engine in top dead center?

[@nicolemerriman3730]

There’s four cylinders on this engine, you didn’t specify which cylinder. Also, you don’t need to put anything at TDC on compression if you aren’t removing the cam journals and not turning the engine over. There’s enough tension on the left side of the chain.

My S1000R is making like a rattling noise and the BMW told me it is a timing chain tensioner.

[@ncaap3575]

How much did they charge you to fix it?

[@EEEBA1]

@@ncaap3575 I ended up replacing that part myself, it's pretty easy. Sometimes BMW will do it for free as a recall type of thing. What bike do you have?
