Hello I got a manual cam chain tensioner to relpace the stock tensioner and since i didnt get the bike when it was made in the very beginning. I was wondering if the cam chain made a slight noise when the bike was originally created I would like to know so I can feel better about the setting it is set at.

 

what? yes it makes noise.... especially if not adjusted properly.

Read the CCT stickey.

 

lol i mean when the bike was made in the factory and ran for the first time, could you hear it chattering? because i would like to know if i should tighten mine until the noise is gone

 

No from the factory they did not making noise from the cam chain. They use a pressurized cct from the factory that commonly fail. To fix this issue people have designed a manual cct so that when it starts making noise you can quickly adjust it instead of spending $40+ on a factory cct everytime

 

Yeah it's a pretty easy thing to install. Follow the directions, and then back it out until you start to hear the cam chain making noise. It's friggen obvious as can be. I was concerned I'd have trouble discerning the noise, or determining if I had made it go away enough. The noise however is fairly distinctly on or off. You just keep finesing the point until you find exactly where it's off, and set it there. Viola you are done!

 

so if i start my bike at a cold start with the manual cam chain tensioner and tighten it down until the noise it gone and lock it down, will it be good tight there, because i dont want to make it to tight or to loose
