APE Pro Series Manual Cam Chain Tensioners
for BMW S1000RR, M1000RR, S1000R and S1000XR
When you are pushing a high-performance BMW engine to its limits, valvetrain control is too important to leave to a factory automatic cam chain tensioner. APE Race Parts offers its Pro Series Manual Cam Chain Tensioners for BMW S1000RR-based engines, providing racers and performance enthusiasts with a reliable, fully adjustable replacement for the OEM tensioner.
Automatic cam chain adjusters can lose control of the chain under demanding conditions, potentially allowing the chain to jump the camshaft sprockets and cause serious engine damage. The APE Pro Series Manual Cam Chain Tensioner eliminates the automatic mechanism and allows the cam chain tension to be set manually and securely.
Once properly adjusted, the tensioner cannot automatically retract or back off, helping maintain consistent cam chain control in high-rpm, high-horsepower and competition applications.
Built for Performance and Easy Adjustment
The APE Pro Series tensioner features a lightweight CNC-machined aluminum body with durable stainless-steel hardware. Its compact adjuster uses a standard 4 mm hex wrench, making it easier to reach and adjust in the BMW’s tight engine compartment.
Designed as a direct replacement for the factory BMW tensioner, installation is straightforward and requires no major engine modifications.
