I made this poll in the F4i forum, but no real responses so I'll put it here hoping for something.

Well I'll start another CCT post, but need to know which you would get. Right now I'm really tired of the weird sounding vibration I'm getting @ 5000-5500 rpms. I don't think you can hear it when I ride by, but it really bothers me. I was just going to get the stock one and replace it, but I don't want to do the same thing again in a few thousand miles. My bike only has 6000 miles on it and my buddy just picked up an all stock 02 F4i with less than 3500 miles and his CCT is ALOT louder than mine so I don't think it will last very long. But on the other hand with the manual tensioner how often will I have to adjust it? Is the APE tensioner better/stronger than the stock one? Right now I plan on getting the APE tensioner and we're going on a long ride the first weekend in June and I want it done before we leave, but I'll probably put it in some rainy day in the near future. I have already read on how to change the tensioner and I have had my bike apart enough to feel confident enough to do it myself. Let me know what you think.

Try asking the guys in here. They might take a few days to get back to you, but they are the experts.

 

thanks man, I didn't really think about that.

 

I replaced mine with APE and it was easy to put in and ive only put about 1000 miles since and havnt had to adjust it yet!!
