CI Hi All, looking for some information about a Cam chain, which I bought from ebay, it's a new part BMW OE, but it has 1 copper link but only on one side. Q: is it right to have any copper links??
Thanks in advance.

Creoso i forum.  I mean welcome to the forum. You are not so far from us over here and a trip to Wales is on our wish list......

However I cant answer the question about the cam chain but someone will. Everyone is very helpful and lots of good information and technical knowledge so don't be afraid to ask any questions. I will be watching the answer as my timing chain is due a look at next month.

Olaf

Can't speak Welsh, but I did understand that, thanks for the reply, haven't finished changing this chain replacement, but doesn't seem too difficult a job, just hope I can put back the ignition timing unit back correctly.

Crazy Frog looks after the forum, technical side and everything, its brilliant. You find this on the 'Portal' tab 'Downloads and Shares'

The downloads have all information you could need, worth getting because this is done from the point of view of working on a used bike where most manuals are made up dismantling brand new bits that are easy to take apart. If I have this wrong someone will correct me.

The download page is password protected and only accessible to registered members.
Please DO NOT INCLUDE ANY LINK to this page into a post on the forum.

If you have a minimum of 3 posts AND an introduction,
send a personal mail to Crazy Frog to get the access password for the download site.
 Your request will be ignored if you don't have this minimum requirement!

Hi Neil,

Welcome to the K100 Forum. I consider it the source of K knowledge on the planet!

If you are also a fully paid up member of the BMW Club UK, then in their tool hire facility they have the correct BMW tools for setting the timing (and much more).

I administer the scheme  Smile

Mike

I have found out it's not a copper link but copper only in colour,
According to my local BMW dealer, and also checks out to be magnetic.
Happy days!! I'll crack on and finish. 
Thanks 

Neil
