HELP!! CCT!!!
OK I just got done putting in my new CCT. PAIN IN THE ***. It was really hard getting the old one out and getting the new one in was just as hard. Word to the wise, have an array of tools available if you try this because it is in a really awkard getting to it.
OK BUT MY QUESTION IS:
I put in a manual CCT and when I start my bike it is making a REALLY loud rattling from that area, I turn it off right away each time to prevent ****in anything up. What is wrong? I tightened the main bolt on the manual CCT until it was hand snug, then i backed it out a little bit. The gasket is on, the other bolts that hold the CCT on seem to be tight, etc. PLS HELP!!
I am so pissed right now.

Ok well it was just very hard to get to the bolts to take out the old one and put in the new one. You will be able to figure it out, just dont get too frustrated and give up.
As far as manual and automatic goes: I went manual because I didn't want to ever have to do this again. Also because it was cheaper.

um...you're supposed to tighten the cctl with the bike running...
start bike, you'll hear the cam chain rattling...then tighten it until the noise just disappears, then give it 1/4 turn more and then lock it
there's no way to adjust it with the engine off.

ok one more quick question. I had already put my bike back together before I read this. My question is: how exact is the adjusting of the CCT. Because what I did was: Turn on the bike, hear the loud rattle because it was too loose and turn it off right away. I then tightened it a bit and turned it back on, when I did this the rattle was gone. So I turned the bike off tightened it a bit more and then secured all the bolts (mostly by hand because it is so damn hard to get a wrench in there but they are about as tight as they gona get with a wrench) and put my bike back together. Tahoe, I know you said it can **** up the chain if it is too tight, but how tight is too tight? I dont hear any abnormal noises and for the most part it sounds real good in the revs. (I just dont want to take it all apart again to tighten it up if it isn't needed)
