how difficult is it to replace the cam chain?? do i need any special tools?? i should note that i am not an idiot when it comes to wrenching!

 

Very easy! Actually easier than changing your oil...Here's a link... https://cbrforum.com/m_492517/tm.htm

So I take it our CCT is in the same location? If it is than this will be alot easier than I thought it would be. For those that have gone with the manual CCT did you go with the APE brand?

Cool, I appreciate the info.

 

I think the OP was looking to replace the cam chain only?

Not the CCT?

 

Ooops!

Hershey, that is what I was thinking as well. Replacing the actual chain is fairly involved and will mean taking apart at least the upper half of the engine while in the bike.I think I read last year a few people did it and theysaid all day job. If I was going to do that andhad a place in my garage, I would invest in the HF motorcycle stand so I could at least work at eye level.
