Bmw s1000r cam chain timing tool

[Graham-p]

Hi has anyone got a cam chain timing tool to replace a timing chain, I can borrow or buy please?

Which year of RR?
Do you have an example of the part you're after?

It?s a 2017, it?s a s1000r it?s the part to lock the cams off

Just noting here;
Three BMW tools are called out in the manual for setting timing: 11 0 773 Timing-chain tensioner, 11 0 771 TDC locating screw, 11 0 772 Alignment jig.
Which are all in the kit under 83302152854

I did a bit of googling and found this; https://gbmotorcycleproducts.com/bmw-s1000rr-top-dead-center-pin-part-no-110771/

Thanks I think it?s the cam tool they?re after to lock the cams into position

The tool isn?t for locking the cams it?s for checking that the timing is correct, they do the locking pin which stops the crank and a tensioner for correctly tensioning the timing chain whilst doing the above. The timing jig could be used to lock the cams in place but you could use cable ties etc, just make sure you have the timing marks aligned before doing what you?re going to do and everything will be ok.

the timing marks on the cams are both at 9 & 3 so what to do is when you get the timing marks aligned on the crank timing gear then mark both lines on the cam gear that face each other. If you do this then you can?t go wrong.
