RE: ignoring the cctl noise
well...check the fiche...the old part ended in j22...the new one j23...my j22 barely made any noise. j23 made more noise but not the crazy earth shaking ignoring rattling like many claim or like the others i've been on.
yea mang...i replaced it all with stock. i'd rather just keep on replacing it every 10K than to adjust it and have it be too tight...

It's the same motor in the bike from 2001-2006
Your bike isn't "affected"....it's just a noise that you're gonna hear
Either put up with it, or replace it with the manual APE or another stock one

RE: ignoring the cctl noise
And I personally can't stand the noise....so in the next week I'm gonna be ordering me a manual APE tensioner
Why am I going with the APE??
Seems the stock one is gonna fail again....might as well just change it once. And I'll just have to check the tightness every so often (like 5 or 10,000 miles?).
I'd rather spend the $60 (one time) on the APE, instead of $50 for a OEM CCTL that'll fail & then have to spend another $50 when that one fails in the future.
That's my reasoning anyways.

...but you wound up selling the bike, so it really doesn't matter and you spent that extra $10 for nothing, right?
I'll go with the stock one again. I don't even know if i'll still have the bike for another 8k miles...but if i do it'll probably be another four years or so before i'll have to replace it again.
