BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I was just going to refresh my memory on using the cam chain tensioner tool but can’t seem to find the correct video which uses the oe bmw tool ?. From memory I think you slide on the sleeve, screw the tensioner in all the way until seated then insert the pinned knurled part and turn clockwise until...

This has blocked my view of the stock mirrors.

That’s interesting, any chance of a pic of the GS bars fitted ?.

This is strange, as my 1250RT looks fine from the rear end. As you can see from the photo i added, it all lines up. You can see the photo was taken square on.

Good service, can I ask why you needed to replace it ?…

I really can’t think of any reason for this
