BMW S1000R CCT Comparison: Black Cap vs Silver Cap vs PSR Manual

Comparing the hydraulic cam chain tensioner setups against a manual tensioner on the BMW S1000R to see the difference between the silver cap and the manual CCT on startup. This also applies to S1000RR and S1000XR. In this video, we break down the exact differences between the stock black cap and the updated BMW silver cap. If you decide to use the silver cap, definitely upgrade the O-rings while you're in there. I also share my honest review of the PSR manual cam chain tensioner after using it for a year (about 3,000 miles). It recently started leaking oil past the threads because the original O-ring failed, so I walk through how to resolve this by upgrading to higher-quality O-rings that handle heat up to 180°C–200°C. Stick around for the back-to-back engine startup sound tests of all three setups. The manual CCT takes the win for long-term adjustability, but the main takeaway is that you need to get rid of that factory black cap as soon as possible.
