- Runs a lot smoother/Less paranoia with hydraulic tensioner fitted
- Steering lock used to be tricky to engage, now it’s working perfectly
-Wonder what the justification was to only have the left side cubby lock, and not the right
-Stuck between buying an OEM or Chinese replacement seat lifting strut
-Mirrors are exceptional
-High speed stability is excellent
-Low Speed stability is excellent
-It tends to unintentionally troll other riders, especially when passing
-Always enjoy the clicky turn signal controls
-Turn-in is excellent
-Automatic grip/seat warmers are as slick as it gets
-Traction control is nowhere near as smooth as the S1000R, and often annoying especially in the mornings
-Need new gloves

Is the hydraulic cam tensioner standard on any model year? What year do you own? Thanks for the comments! BMW mirrors are excellent.

I think they were becoming standard in 2016 (some 2016 models do not have them).
2017+ guaranteed to have hydrotensioners
