DescriptionThe whole story▼

On the S 1000 XR, the rear wheel carries a sport tourer's load at superbike speeds. The Gilles TCA-K46 chain adjuster for the BMW S1000 XR of 2015 to 2026 sets that wheel with an angular gear and a vernier scale graduated in millimetres.

Key Features

  • Makes refitting the rear wheel easier
  • Supports the axle against tensile and compressive forces
  • Easy to fit
  • Optional lifters with stand bolts and crash pads, sold separately
  • Chain tension set precisely through an angular gear
  • No registration required, according to Gilles

From K10 to SX99

The list runs from the first XR, type K10, through the 2X99 to the SX99 introduced in 2023.

Easier wheel changes

Gilles designed the TCA to make refitting the rear wheel easier. Once the chain is set, note the millimetre reading; after the next tyre change you return to it directly.

Road Approval

Gilles states that this chain adjuster needs no registration on the BMW S1000 XR: no inspection, no entry in the vehicle documents. What it does need is correct fitting, with the axle nut tightened to the torque in the owner's manual.

Scope of Delivery

Gilles TCA chain adjuster TCA-K46, made for this model. The optional lifters and crash pads are not included.

Fitting

Turn the rear wheel, check the slack at the tightest point of the chain, then compare the readings on both sides: equal millimetres keep the wheel aligned. Torque the axle to the manufacturer's value.
