My F4i has now 2500 miles, and yesterday I heard a ratting noise from the right side of the motor between 3.000 and 3.300 RPM.
After that it goes, it is only in this range.
I can´t believe it is the CCT with this mileage or maybe yes ?[&:]

I know that it can appears after 5.000 miles and between 5.500 and 6.000 RPM or I´m wrong !

And what can be if it is not the CCT ?

Thanks in advance

are you sure it goes away or the motor just covers the sound?

 

What is the CCT because i am getting a rattling noise around 5k

 

CCT == Cam Chain Tensioner... when it goes the chain won't tension properly and you hear it whirring. It'll get louder as the tension gets worse.

 

I have a sound about 5k rmp also. but im pretty sure its not the cct because it only comes on at around 5k and then goes away around 6k. is that what yours is doing? so i just ride mine how it is

 

The CCT usually makes a rattling noise between 3-6k rpm mine was at 4500 and would only rattle near that rpm if you put your ear on the tank and rev the bike and hold it at the range you hear noise and then rev the bike a little higher and it stops it may be the CCT i got one off ebay and it want to hard to change but it takes some time i found itstructions somewhere on the web and i set my chain tension to factory specs and i have not had a problem since

 

I need to buy the original CCT urgently, someone who can tell me where I can buy it preferently in California in some place with a serius sales department and quick shippment ?

By the way , is the code number 14520-MBW-J22 or J23 ?

Thanks in advance

95fd3s, Hi there !

Can you reed my last post in this same tocpic and see if you can give me some help?

Cheers

 

It appear to very common in the f4i..there was an extensive thread the other day on replacing one !! Didn't look tooo hard to fix!![sm=signs003.gif]

 

Replacing it with an OEM CCT will not fix the problem. The replacement will start to rattle at some point. You either need to modify the OEM or go to a manual (i.e. Ape). Search this forum for CCT mods, and you should find a thread with instructions on how to modify the OEM CCT.

As far as I know, it isn't that much of a problem. Mine rattles, and always has and I haven't changed it. If it were that big of a deal, then Honda would have had to recall it. And every Honda F4i rattles.
