TUTORIAL
The timing chain had to be changed on our two BMW F800GS. Chain wear is a known problem, but occurs quite differently. Usually between 100,000km and 160,000km mileage.
There is a very interesting thread on the timing chain issue at: www.advrider.c...
Data on our BMWs:
Year of construction 2013 & 2015
Mileage ~ 62,000 km
How do I know if I have a problem with the timing chain?
- the timing chain can be clearly heard while the engine is running, it sounds a bit like there are loose screws in the engine (you can't ignore it)
- when you look at the open valve cover you can see the timing chain between the camshaft sprockets beating up and down as soon as the rear wheel is spinning (the more worn the chain, the more noticeable this is)
