If find out it does, I have one with only 800 miles on it. I changed to a Graves.GazGaz said:I have read alot about what everyone had done in regards to changing the CCT on the 2012 + models. Now can anyone tell me if the APE cct will fit the 2010 model? Can't find any info. Thanks
Sorry to hear. Gen I? Yes, you're probably screwed on the bent bits after WOT and starting attempts. I made that error as well.Zepfan said:Mine took a dump today.
Noisey at start ups.
Today was even noisier and then stopped after 2,seconds of running. A big puff of smoke came from air box.
Wot wear and tear on the battery no start.
I kind of was thinking the chain might have skipped and finding this thread confirms. Hope I didn't bend anything.
Better get your tensioner fixed before you have this happen.
I had just solved a head lamp issue, now this.
That's a bit overstating your situation. :Ramseybella said:My new updated CCT was trashed out of the box..
I very much doubt the extension of the CCT is an issue. I have seen several failed Yamaha CCTs over the years and not one was fully extended when it failed. (the springs broke, or other issues occurred that caused the CCT to stop extending or it was failing to lock as it moved out, allowing the CCT to move in and out w/o keeping tension on the chain.) And chains don't stretch. Ever. What occurs is wear on the rollers and teeth of the gears that makes a chain appear to 'stretch'. At 82k miles no one that looked at my cam chain could identify damage or wear, (after the CCT failure). I was replacing a variety of other parts, so paid for the replacement of the cam chain on my dime, just because. I have put over 100k on various bikes w/o every replacing a cam chain or having issues with it, despite replacing multiple CCTs.SilverBullet said:Is there a method for auto CCT's to determine how far extended they are? Fully extended CCT would be an indicator of cam chain stretch.
