2009 ninja 250 cct
Hi,
out of curiosity. Can I rest the cct by just removing the 10mm bolt in the middle, retract the metal stick then let go? Or MUST I remove the whole cct? |

Yes
You can reset it without removing it. But it should automatically take up the slack. Or is it too tight that is the problem?

Go APE
I had the exact same problems. I would try and reset it and it would work and then it would fail.
However, to properly reset it, you need to remove the 10mm bolt and use a small flathead screwdriver (like a jeweler's or a bit with a small thumb ratchet) that you can wind up to bring it back and then release and it should reset. Since I do a lot of valve clearance checks and I HATE the OEM cam chain tensioner, I just caved and spent $60 on an APE manual cam chain tensioner...much easier to use. To set it, just loosen the locknut and turn the bolt to bring the tensioner back. Install the tensioner onto the engine. Then use your hand (NO TOOLS) and turn the center bolt until you cannot turn it anymore. Loosen it by hand a 1/4 turn. Tighten the locknut down using a 5/8" open end wrench. Start it up. If there is noise, adjust as needed. If no noise, then go for a test ride and make sure there isn't anymore noise.

If it is working properly, No you don't need to. If its broken, then you need a new one.

fyi, I tried reseting the cct by only unscrewing the middle 10mm bolt, retracting it and letting go. Not sure if it has enough tension though. Kind of felt week when I removed the screw driver. |

The tick I have is a very light ticking noise very similar to the first video DaBlue1 posted. It sounds nothing like a rod knock/piston slap/valve piston impact.
