2014 R1200RT cam chain tensioner installation

Post by lowflyer2000 »

Firstly I'm at 200,000km and looking to replace my cam tensioner(s) - annoying ticking and mileage - and wanted to know:

1. Is this something I can EASILY do myself i.e access and,

2. would an aftermarket part be suggested and if so site suggestions.

Yes very easy to replace both the tensioners just unscrew them and screw the new ones in with a new washer and to the correct torque

I would personally stick the the OEM parts
