What happens when Cam Chain Tensioner goes bad?
The bike had a tuneup, oil, filter,plugs and carb sync about 2200 miles ago. It's been perfect until recently it started giving me the occasional slight stutter (or miss) as the engine winds down from revs in the 5000-7000rpm range. My mileage is about 12000 miles.
When it's cold there is a distinct clicking coming from the right side. Once warmed up, about 10 minutes of riding, I don't hear it any more. Oil level checked and its good.
Does this sound like the infamous CCT ?

Almost anyone you ask, especially with the Carbed bikes has had some form of ticking, or tacking. It's pretty common when the engines in our Hondas are ran so tight, it's going to happen. Like you, it bothers me, it usually is a precursor to a bigger problem in other fields of combustion engines, such as a car making that sound. But for a bike, especially a Sport Superbike with a very tight engine, sometimes things do tend to clickity clack.

Thanks ! I will listen for that can of BB's. So far nothing like that. Though getting my carbs balanced again by a good mechanic made a world of difference. I no longer get that stutter when the revs are winding down and the bike sounds completely different.
