Do you still have mechanical chain tensioner or hydraulic retrofit? I bought one last year with 6k miles for $5400 in showroom condition. Sold it few months later because didn’t want to deal with possible engine failure due to faulty mechanical tensioner. Regret it to this day.

Sold and replaced with Ducati scrambler 1100

Have you checked if you have a loose panel somewhere vibrating itself with higher rpm?

What is there to tell? Chain skipped and pistons did their thing with engine becoming a paper weight. Tensioner was done by bmw dealer under recall.

I got exactly same color. Looks great in person.

My 2013 has hydraulic conversion and engine still graneded itself at 15k miles. It’s seems anything bmw puts its logo on automatically has timing chain issue because this engine isn’t even bmw designed. I now have 2019 with zero noise besides clutch whistling until warm when I start going

Just like my title says if anyone has this and wants to part with it let me know.

It’s a crapshoot with this. I had 2013 that was retrofitted with hydraulic blow up the engine at 15k miles and I had 2016 sport that ran fine at 7k when I sold it. If it runs good and makes no noise leave it alone. Dealer wants $1200 for parts and labor for this job around NYC area.

Congrats. I had an orange 2016 c650 sport. Now riding 2019gt. Sport is definitely more peppier and maneuverable around city traffic.

Will this work on 2019 c650gt or I need an adapter for it?

Don’t put carriage before the horse. You scooter should not experience any issues since it’s already with improved cam tensioner design from the factory. Just twist that throttle and ride.

Just throwing it out here if anyone looking to get back on shift it yourself machine with the longest history of building motorcycles. 2019 Indian FTR 775 miles on her. Puig screen, frame sliders, grip puppies and Indian luggage rack only modifications. Showroom condition. Looking into getting...

Sold my scooter and have this exhaust can left with all the hardware. Come pick it up in Glendale Queens. Nearly new condition. Bring some beers in exchange.

That’s a good deal right there.
