DescriptionThe whole story▼

The S 1000 R is the naked sibling of BMW's S 1000 RR superbike, and it has been part of the range for well over a decade. The Gilles AXB-K46.B chain adjuster for the BMW S1000R of 2013 to 2026 gives it a precise scale and a screw that moves the axle both ways.

Key Features

  • Precise scale for accurate reading, evens out series tolerances
  • Stays in the swingarm while the rear wheel is fitted
  • Supports the axle against tensile and compressive forces
  • Works with the original axle nut
  • Precise adjustment of the chain tension
  • No registration required, according to Gilles

Every generation

K10 from 2013 to 2016, 2R10 from 2017 to 2020, 2R99 from 2021 to 2024 and SN99 from 2025: Gilles lists the adjuster for each S 1000 R generation in that span.

Two Gilles options

For this model Gilles offers both the AXB and the TCA adjuster. The TCA adds an angular gear and millimetre readings; the AXB stays compact and works with the original axle nut.

Road Approval

Gilles lists this chain adjuster as free of registration on the BMW S1000R. There is no certificate to carry; the requirement is a correctly fitted axle with the chain slack set to the manufacturer's value.

Scope of Delivery

Gilles AXB chain adjuster AXB-K46.B, made for this model. The original axle nut is reused.

Fitting

Chain slack comes from the owner's manual, wheel alignment from the scales: set both to the same value, torque the axle nut, spin the wheel and check once more. If you are unsure, let a workshop do the first adjustment.
