Premium Member motomeek Posted January 25, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted January 25, 2019 What is up. Long time, no see. Sprained both my wrists a few months ago, it's also been chilly... so I had to put the moto life on hold. Purchased these chain adjusters after I had a really hard time adjusting the chain when I was putting a fresh chain on. And don't know why I waited so long... but alas. I have them installed! Shout out to @bellissimoto @pgeldz for hookin' me up on this pair as well as a pair for my other bike. Since they're straight from Gilles.. they took 4 weeks to get shipped out. Got them with the red accent to go with the small hints of red I already have on the bike. 3 Instagram: @meekmade | You don't need to flat foot a bike to ride it.

Premium Member Benh972 Posted January 25, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted January 25, 2019 Welcome back, injuries suck! I ordered the exact same part from bellissimoto two weeks 3 days and 7 hours ago, the wait is killing me! The site says it's not in stock so, I knew I was going to have to be patient. I emailed first to make sure the order would be filled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellissimoto Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Glad to see you're back on the road! The Gilles chain adjusters look great! We have more on the way, and should be here soon. Just received word that our shipment is supposed to be here late next week! I'm keeping my fingers crossed there are no delays - Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cold up here in Northern Michigan and I'm not riding anytime soon so the wait is no big deal.

bellissimoto Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Just so everyone knows why there is a delay... Gilles is the OEM manufacturer for many of the parts on the new BMW S1000RR, as well as ALL the BMW Aftermarket HP RACE billet parts, in addition to Yamaha UK Billet Accessories. Because of the new BMW S1000RR, Gilles had to ramp up their facility and production to meet BMW's demand, and added 13 additional CNC Machines to supply them. Good new is that now that most of that work is done, it is expected that Gilles will have the capacity to shorten delivery times significantly in the coming months. Hang in there guys...their products are worth the wait. - Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got word this morning that the chain adjusters will be ready by the end of this week, and will be in our next shipment. - Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Benh972 Posted February 13, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 13, 2019 I was getting antsy about the wait for my part, and I called and talked to Paul @bellissimoto. Wow the customer service here is top notch. I usually am hesitant to engage with actual human beings, I usually prefer to communicate electronically. He was great though, he spent a lot of time and dropped a lot of knowledge on me. Super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.It was great I have not talked on the phone like that since I was a teenager! lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nottasockpuppet Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Does anyone want to comment on the installation procedure? I just ordered a set of these so I can use a spool paddock stand.

mossrider Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Couldn't be easier. Get the rear of the bike in the air. Remove the rear wheel. (we actually need the axle removed, the wheel can sit between the arms if you like) The factory chain adjusters will slide/fall out the rear of the swinger. Remove parts 22, 25 & 26 from factory adjusters and install in Gilles swingarm caps. Slide into rear of swingarm and tighten jam nuts. (the Gilles pieces take the place of #23 in the diagram) Finitto. Edited May 29, 2019 by mossrider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, you technically don't even need to take the wheel off I was able to do mine just by removing the adjuster nuts and threading the new ones into place ATGATT...

Premium Member Littlebriar Posted May 30, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted May 30, 2019 Same here. I don't remember having to remove the wheel at all. The whole process took about 10 minutes. 1 Steve, 2017 Yamaha FZ-07, 2016 BMW 1200RT, 2019 Ducati Monster 1200s - Harbor Beach, Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
