DescriptionThe whole story▼

The M 1000 XR is the M-badged, most powerful version of BMW's XR sport tourer. The Gilles TCA-K46 chain adjuster for the BMW M1000 XR of 2023 to 2026 brings an angular gear for precise tension and a vernier scale that reads the axle position in millimetres.

Key Features

  • Vernier scale for high reading accuracy
  • Rear wheel position readable in millimetres
  • Makes refitting the rear wheel easier
  • Supports the axle against tensile and compressive forces
  • Easy to fit
  • No registration required, according to Gilles

Type SX99

Gilles lists the M 1000 XR under type SX99 from 2023.

Not for the M 1000 RR

Gilles notes that the TCA-K46 does not fit the M 1000 RR. The XR, like the S 1000 R and S 1000 RR, is on the list.

Road Approval

Gilles lists this chain adjuster as free of registration on the BMW M1000 XR. 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

The Gilles TCA chain adjuster TCA-K46 for this motorcycle. Lifters, stand bolts and crash pads are optional extras.

Fitting

Chain slack comes from the manual, alignment from the scales. Set both, torque the axle nut, spin the wheel and check once more. The first adjustment is a good job for a workshop if you are unsure.
