Hey guys,
Earlier this year I bought my first bike...02 cbr600 f4i with a little under 16,000 miles on it. I already figured out the CCTL is going out and i'm replacing it saturday...a honda mechanic informed me to also replace to chain as well. So! I got the chain, cctl, head gasket and oil and filter. The only thing I havent been able to find "How to" for is the Cam chain itself. I found a thread for 1000f model....but I dont think its safe to go by those instructions for F4i. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

Theres a how to in the service manual...i was going to write one myself when i did it but ended up forgetting to take pictures about halfway through..lol

 

Well I havent been able to find a pdf service manual for 01-03 f4i online for free. I did download one from stephygee.com but it only has mainteance on it. Any idea where i can find one??

 

there is a how to sticky on the top of this page

actually sorry thats not the write up lol... but there is on around here somewhere

 

Well thanks for all the help...operation is going down at 9 am tomorrow...so hopefully all goes well. ill keep searching for that "how to".

 

free manual download sites
I got my complete service manual from one of this sites

 

So...today at 10 am...to ohhhh around 3 pm... the cctl is off and out... I looked at chain and such through crank shaft...seems to look okay...I tryed getting the old gasket off of cctl..did not work out the way i intended ( it broke ). So im on hold until I get the gasket and new washers and bolts. My fault for F'n that one up..but holy crap thats a tight spot to work around. I did notice on the tip of cctl was a rub spot compared to new one..so something was def. not right. Plus, it had the orange dot, new one has two blue.
I decided to only replace this cam chain unless the new cctl or something is tickin around inside. Hopefully not some valves or such. I may upload some pics to show the old cctl wear. To be cont..

 

Here's the old on left and new on right.
