Yeah the tensioner I was looking at was ?80 imported from 'murica! That was the APE pro unit. Looking at it now, it does look more involved than the one in the toolkit, sod it you've convinced me! Cheers. Aleck.

Hmmm that was my thinking, but then I thought I just spent ?147 on this tool kit, so surely I've already spent a similar amount on a manual tensioner?! Admittedly in the grand scheme of things another ?60 for peace of mind isn't a bad shout!

Hi all, Just finished up changing the camshafts on my bike and bought the timing tools to do so, my question is, the cam chain tensioner tool that comes with it, does anyone know if that could work as a replacement cam chain tensioner? I was considering buying a manual one anyway as I was...

Hi all, I've seen this on the ol ebay, and thought they seemed pretty cheap for a set of headers with a de cat link pipe. But thats the thing, they do seem really cheap... Has anyone had any experience with these at all? I'm thinking of de cating my exhaust but would rather keep the original...

Right, so as promised, an update. I took the bike in the week before last and they managed to locate a 'rattle' in the top end. However it was late in the day by this time and obviously they were not interested in opening her up to find out the problem. However I need to book it in again to...

So it's booked in for Friday, the only day of the week I have free! The chap on the phone reckons it may just need the clearances done... I'm kind of hoping this isn't their 'go to' for any top end noise! Anyway fingers crossed, I might call up and see if I can test ride a 2015 while I'm...

Right, thats the plan then, get it checked! I've just jumped straight on the Valve band wagon, are there any other constant ticking noises that it could be, im pretty sure its the valves, but I want to rule everything out that I can. Are the exhaust butterflies known to loosen? Thanks for...

Hi all, Firstly I've had a search on the forum and around the net and currently I am only getting results that I really don't want to hear, horror stories of new engines and top end rebuilds! Essentially I've had my S1000rr for 4 months now, and put nearly 3k miles on it and everything has...

Brilliant, well... its not brilliant, its a pain, but at least now I have a route to chase to get this fixed! I have a free afternoon on Friday so I'll tackle it then! Cheers guys, much appreciated! Aleck.

Hi all, I have what is probably not a bike specific problem but figured I'd ask you knowledgeable bunch before I get round to looking at fixing it on Friday! So last night while riding home from work, I noticed the bike felt sluggish and the rear brake lever had gone solid with no movement...

Yeah, all sorted now :D Cheers guys! Aleck.

Hi Alex, Sweet sounds great, I've pm'd you! Aleck

Hi, Funny question, but does anyone know if the front 'V' section on our bikes are the same throughout the model years? so would a 2015 section fit a 2010? Its one of those funny bits that no one ever talks about, or photographs! Essentially I am after one of these pieces and the breaker...

Well, currently it is sat in my mates garage, it was bought from a chap who had converted it into a track bike. My ultimate goal is to convert it back but possibly after a few goes around a track ;P , so if anyone has any spare fairings or lights I will gladly take them off your hands :D I am...

Hi all!! I am now the proud owner of a 2010 BMW S1000rr and quite frankly... ITS GREAT! :D Kind regards Aleck.
