if both of you had your cam chain slip off and you didn't suffer catastrophic damage, you are extremely lucky! The cam chain tensioners on certain bikes 12'-14' are under recall and may be replaced at BMW's expense. I just had to have my 14' (not under the recall) cam tensioner replaced to the...

I am having a hard time getting info on whether the timing chain has been repaired through recall work. 2014 gt 650 with only 5000 miles. how can I visualize if the recall has been made to the hydraulic version it should be? Where to look and what to look for? Thanks!

I thought I would give an update. I installed the Malossi variator and the 24g rollers that came with it just to see how it would perform. The initial rattling was there during the first 5 miles or so. the rpms increased about 1500 baseline through all lower and midrange speeds. this increased...

Great! Thanks. Do you have the Malossi Multivar variator?

Thanks and for responding! Maybe last question. The kit came with roller sizes 24 and 22. I will probably use the 24( touring), should I order that same size? The Dr. pulley website recommends 28 g for the stock variator which is currently in there. How will I know which size and weight To...

Thank you for the addition. I received Multivar today in the mail but waiting on a few other parts before I get started. is there a recommendation of how much to put in there? I know there is usually a line between to much and not enough but either one of those can be bad. Also, should I plan...

Excellent work, thank you! This will definitely give me more confidence to tackle the job. The belt only has 4800 miles. Hopefully it doesn’t need changing. I am noticing some noise that may be the timing chain tensioner, I know this won’t help that but it is something I can do to help...

Awesome! Thank you for the great info! I will search for everything tonight. I will keep you updated on the results.

Hello, where did you get the tool in the picture(bottom left hand side in the plastic wrap) I don’t know what to call the tool and can’t find it anywhere.

How can I find the correct tool list to remove the variator, especially the one that locks the two pullies together so you can remove the lock nuts. Thanks for your help!

Thank you. That’s great advice and I believe I will be taking a measured approach two upgrades. The previous owner installed the doctor pulley rollers so I’m not sure how sluggish it was before then. I feel there is definitely some possible improvement in shifting especially low end down shifts...

Thank you. BMW states I have no open recalls on this bike meaning the repair had been made at some point. Since the noise currently goes away after a mile or two and is not overly loud, the local service manager says it could be normal. If it seems to get worse then we should check it out for a...

Thanks! I will get on the BMW website and check the vin. I think it will give a history of all the recall work the bank has had done. I’m trying to take a video and capture the sound and add it to the post. Thanks again.

Thanks for replying. It is definitely coming from the front. It also sounds like a piston “knocking” but it varies with the speed and not rpms. This again is only noticeable when it has been sitting overnight or not warmed up. From 0-20mph it’s noticeable then more again when decelerating 20mph...

Hi Everyone, My first post and recently purchased a 2014 C 650gt with 4500 miles. It recently started making a loose chain rattling sound until it has warmed up 3-8 miles. It is loudest at the "lowest gear" CVT. It has had great maintenance through its life. Is there something I can check, or...
