AHH man... I think its starting to act up guys.
Is it normal to hear it Just A Little bit between 5 & 6000 rpms? I can start to just hear it getting closer to around 6000. Is this the beginning of a downward spiral??ahah.

 

yes sir, i can hear mine at 7000 in first gear, so i think im gonna start the spiral too...get a crackin on that replacement cct, ive heard the manual ones are better

 

question you are talking about your Cam Chain Tensioner lifter....and if so, how can you tell it's going bad. Reason why I am asking is that I may be buying an 03 F4i this weekend w/ 8k miles and wonder if I should try to "listen" to see if it's going bad?

 

it sounds like bb's are rattling around in the crankcase.

+1 on the APE. haven't had an issue since i installed it, and it's cheap.

 

APE one works great... its a huge bitch to install, pissed me off so much, but in the end it was worth it

 

How much does a cct usually cost? the manual one and the one str8 from the dealer

 

APE one is 55 bucks plus 3 bucks for the gasket (you need that too) and shipping, not much if you DIY

OEM one is 60 bucks from bikebandit, but I dont know why you would replace a ****ty product with a new ****ty part

appreciate it

 

how many miles on your bike and is your cctl a j22 or j23?

 

Thats a good question. I think its the J23. I have an 04 F4i. oh yea, the mileage is around 6400
