In this video, we replace the Chain, Chain Roller, and Cush Driver Rubbers, and then we, correctly, adjust the chain.
The chain was very noisy and, although the bike has only covered 6000 miles and has been well-maintained, the Cush Drive Rubbers were very worn and the Chain Roller was worn and very noisy. The Chain was probably okay, but we replaced that as well.
The bike had a non-standard hugger, which included the chain-adjuster moving piece. We were not happy with this for chain adjustment, so we ordered an original chain-adjuster moving piece from BMW and we return this to standard.
In an initial test-ride, the chain was much quieter.
We shall record a full walk around and ride out video, now that we've completed this work.

enjoyed your video since you know what you are doing might know the answer to my question i am replacing the rear shock(which is about 12 inches long) with another one which is only 9.5 inches long on my 310gs does everything fall into place somehow or its a lot more complicated? this is my first time working on a bike thanks

@MotorcycleFettlers 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the feedback and question. We've not tackledthe rear shock so I'm afraid we don't have any useful advice.

@NikosKoutsioras Месяц назад

This video is a great great time saver! Can you give us the part number of the cush drivers in order to find them in eBay, please? Thank you very much sir!

@MotorcycleFettlers Месяц назад

Hi, I don't know the part number but a call to BMW Motorrad is all you need. This is an inexpensive part and getting if from BMW is the cheapest option that I've seen. You'll be surprised how inexpensive BMW are for some parts.

How long did the bush and chain last on your bike?

@MotorcycleFettlers Месяц назад

I don't know if it was the original chain when I bought it. I changed it at around 8k miles. The chain was probably OK for a bit longer but the bush was trashed.

Will do!

Can you tell me how many kms you got out of the chain and Cush rubbers before they needed to be replaced? We have 2 of these bikes and they both have a lot of play in the Cush drive area.

@MotorcycleFettlers 9 месяцев назад

The bike had around 9500km when I bought it. The cush rubbers were very worn and I assume these were original. I do not know if the chain was original but, actually, it was fine even though we replaced it. I think the cush rubbers are known to wear. They are inexpensive from your BMW Motorrad dealer.

My 310 bike chain is completely loose. It comes without a pin lock, so how to tighten it now.😢

@MotorcycleFettlers 2 месяца назад

Sorry, not enough information. Sounds like you may need a new chain if there's no adjustment left...

@enamulhaque1831 2 месяца назад

@@MotorcycleFettlers yah there is no adjustment left, I'm worried about this 😕, although I put new chain and sprocket

@MotorcycleFettlers 2 месяца назад

odd. I'd check it was the right chain length but other than that, can't help, I'm afraid.

@kbwaldron 10 месяцев назад

I noticed you did not replace the upper chain slider pad (name?). Not sure what the proper name is. This wears as much as the roller. Should this not be replaced at the same time? If not, at what mileage should it be replaced?

@MotorcycleFettlers 10 месяцев назад

I'm not sure about the slider, we did not notice any unnecessary wear. To be fair, with 6k miles on the clock, I was surprised that we needed to replace anything. The main thing that we noticed was that the cush drive rubbers were worn. We then decided to replace the chain, however, in hind-sight, I do not think this needed relacement. When doing this, we noticed that the roller was also shot, so we replaced this as well. You may be right that the pad could also have done with replacing. From our experience, these parts are not overly expensive from BMW so the pad may be cheap enough to replace, regardless, once you're in there.

@theseersays Год назад

You’re going to have to take a few links out of that chain before it’s used by date, and should have definitely changed the sprockets at the same time so you don’t get unnecessary wear too early..

@MotorcycleFettlers Год назад

Fair point regarding the sprocket, although the sprocket was fine. We didn't actually need to change the chain, as we realised that it was the cush drive that was the (known) issue. We decided to change the chain, anway, as we already had it and, therefore, didn't bother with the sprocket.

@mamlukavlogs6353 Год назад

Nice and useful video ❤. At what kilometer on your odometer you changed all these stuffs ?

@MotorcycleFettlers Год назад

It's done around 6500 miles (10500 kilometers). I think that the cush drive rubbers wearing at this mileage is a common thing and I suspect that it is the same for the chain roller. We could have left the chain as it was not too bad but we changed it anyway.
