I noticed that there are some end numbers that are different at the end of the part number of these oem parts. How do I find out which one I need. There is like J22's, J23's. Is that like the different motors code or something? Got around 12,000 miles on my 2001 and have a rattle around 4000-5000. Think I need to replace my cctl.

 

The later number is the "revised" part that really wasn't "revised".

They will both rattle after a couple thousand miles.

You will need to either take yours out and flare the pin or buy a APE manual CCT. My vote goes to the APE because there is no way you can have problems with the CCT later.

 

I thought about the APE but I was concerned about getting it sdjusted properly. But the more I think about it, I think that would be the best route to go.

 

that's right mang...the APE cctl won't start making noise and stuff like stocker, but if you adjust it wrong...your engine will let you know...in a big way...BLING BLING! so make sure you do it right!

don't forget to get the end washer that goes at the rear of the stock cctl and a new gasket for either APE or stocker.

as far as j22 or j23, even if you order a j22, you'll get a j23 because there's no more j22s around...and if you end up with a 22, you better be getting an awesome deal off it! like free!

 

Thanks guys for the replies. I think that I will do the APE. This is my first crotch rocket and I want to take her to Deal's Gap. Want to make sure she is all in check.

 

i don't know if the j23's are better, but they definitely look different than the j22's
