Hey guys, I searched here and see a little info here and there about changing my tensioner to a manual adjusted one. can you point me to the thread on where to buy this and how to change it? Thanks so much
GV- Probably not. It will be just in your way, anyways. When pulling the cams, just pull any tensioner.With a manual cam chain tensioner installed, is there enough adjustment to back it off for camshaft removal (for shim changes) or do you still need to remove the tensioner from the engine?
tabasco,
can i ask your opinion of the APE ones as i can get this in the UK, but not the graves one if i could i,d buy the graves

thanks alot for the uk linkIve seen and installed many... They work.....
IMOP, I feel the oil passage is important... Here is the Graves unit in the UK..... You can also pick the dealers that will cary the part depending on where you're located. Your local sport bike shop can probably get one easily

My stock CCT makes a nasty noise when I fire it up from cold. It is a 2013 with 24K miles. I am about ready to do this since I am stuck at home anyways. A couple of easy questions from your great explanation:...
Put a socket on the end of the crank and turn the engine over to align the timing marks.

Guys stop scaring me!
Mine is a 2012 with 70 000km (58 k miles ish)I can hear it rattle for a 1/4 sec on start up...
That noise is embarrassing when I am with other riders.Isn’t that about 44k miles? Less mileage, less worry
I have yet to tackle the clutch upgrade. Did you use the old plates/springs with the new basket ?A lot of the noise from the Gen 1 bikes is from the clutch. Mine was shockingly bad, until I changed the basket to a Gen2. So much quieter now.
What n how do u use to hold the chain tension when u remove the cct"slowly turn in the tensioner until you feel it snug up. I tightened it by hand as much as I could. "
Here's a tip:
Whatever manual CCT you buy, before you install it, run the tensioner in and out by hand to make sure there are no rough threads.
I installed a manual CCT and ran the tensioner in by hand till I thought it was all the way in. Turned out it was not, just a rough spot in the threads and when I released the chain it jumped timing.
jrusell 's post, #3 on this string up above has some pictures on the easist way to do it removing clutch cover to put a bolt between the case and the camchain guide to keep it from slipping. The alternative is removing the valve cover with is a PITAWhat n how do u use to hold the chain tension when u remove the cct
Thank you
