Default Well it took 5 hours but I succesfully replaced my CCT

and threw on some frame sliders too. I must have dropped the new CCT 76 times while trying fit it in there and screw it in. Several times the CCT, gasket and screw fell way down in there and I needed a magnet to find them all. At any rate it was very rewarding to get all the plastic back on, start her up and the vibration being gone!

sweet
yea i need to do this too but im running short on money, lol
i shoulda did this as like my #2 winter fix but i went with chain/sprockets (which are turning out to be more expensive than i thought, after you add the breaker/press), then a lower link, and ill need to get oil and filter.

i might en dup being able to do this anyway a little thru the summer tho
did you get another OEM one or did you get the manual one

yea its a pain to do... last time i did mine apparently the lower bolt was not tight, thus causing an oil leak...... i would check under the bike in a week or two for oil to be sure your bolts are still snug....

So appearently I didnt change my plugs, oil, chain and sprockets over the weekend. Huh. Maybe I should do them again just to make sure. And take pics to PROOVE it. Whatever.


Cool beans bro, glad to hear you did it yourself. Is it worth paying 130 bucks to have someone else do it? (Not to me) But I've tried to convince others on here to DIY, but they don't listen. You went with OEM, did you get the latest and greatest reengineered one that is less prone to failure, or go with the one they had listed in the book? I guess (from what I've read) that the newest revision isn't listed in the book for the F4i, and that you have to request it. Anywhos, ride safe bro
