Part #'s for cam chain tensioner upgrade

[WorkinMan]

Can someone help me out here? I want to do the cam chain tensioner upgrade on my 1150R and my buddies 1150RT, but the local dealer says he only has a part number for the GS. Wouldn't thay be the same? Also, I'm assuming that this upgrade is supposed to stop the tapping at start-up. correct? It sounds like a lifter that needs a few seconds to pump up.
Thanks for any help.

Follow the link below to the A&S Cycles fiche and scrooll down on the left to the cam chain page. The tensioner consists of four parts, the part numbers are listed. Good luck.

I found this picture of the new parts and part numbers, but it's only 2 parts. Is this the stuff we need to do the swap?

Okay, I see that it's three parts with the crush washer.

Those three on the bottom of the photograph are the correct left cylinder cam chain tensioner upgrade parts, and if you remove the throttle body to do the job (you don't have to if you use have a rachet, extension and u-joint), then you would also need a new TBI o-ring (p/n 13 54 1 341 797).

I finally got around to replacing my cam chain tensioner on my 2003 R1150R. The instructions on this message board were very clear. I was able to complete the modification in about an hour, taking my time and taking some photos along the way. Here is a good look at the new tensioner partially installed:



Notice the left throttle body moved out of the way to access the bolt at the base of the left cylinder and under the front suspension linkage. I cleaned out the throttle body after this photo was taken. The motorcycle started up fine and seems to run better, idle better and not make as much noise. Thanks to those on the board who posted previous photos and instructions. It was not too much for this amateur mechanic to tackle.
