Hi,
Are the tools that you bought compatible with 2018 BMW RT? I am very interested in buying them too, but before I place the order I want to ensure they are the right ones for my motorbike. It would be a costly mistake otherwise.
Many thanks in advance,
Pano.

There is a difference between the 1200 and 1250 camshaft alignment jigs, also the collar that is used with the cam chain tensioner tool is a different length. Your friendly ( not necessarily local) bmw dealer should be able to sort this for you.ptoundas wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 2:19 am Hi,

They aren't genuine parts but if they work they work!
You would need the cam chain tensioner too

Thanks for the heads up, I got the alignment pin last year, also the cam alignment jigs arrived for the 1250 motor, the last bit of the jigsaw ( cam chain tensioner tool) is supposed to arrive this month !!.
