Where to get a Manual CCT?

Graugaard · August 15th, 2013, 02:44 AM

Hi, i really got a feeling that it's my CCT that is wrong, so can anyone tell me where i can get a manual one from EUROPE? Has to be europe or else it's very expensive taxes and shipping is like 45$...

I have tried to find any, but i can only find the APE and that can only be bought from US.

Cam chain tensioner = CCT

my bad, did not read everything, this is not from Europe, but you might have to bite the bullet on the taxes

Thanks guys!

Let us know if it does in fact cure the issue. I have been looking to buy one too.

Installed one on my ninja 250r 2008, fixed the clicking noise I was getting from the cam chain. I have pics if you guys want to see it installed.

Graugaard · August 16th, 2013, 09:31 AM

i would like too!

quarterliter · August 16th, 2013, 10:18 AM

My only issue is that I have a pregen and there are only rumors of the CCT fitting both the newgen and pregen. But I would like to see it

I got mine from Orient Express

A note in installation. When you are putting tension on the cam chain, do not use tools...just use your hands. Then use a wrench to to tighten the locknut.

Surprisingly my OEM was shot. It also makes reinstallation of a CCT a breeze instead of the whole process of trying to wind back the spring load on it while tightening.

alex.s · August 16th, 2013, 11:57 AM

alright i'll give you that. the whole wind back and then bolt on thing is annoying. but adjusting the mcct on the zx6 is such a massive pain in the ass. never tried on the 250, seems like it would be easier being where it is on the 250

Ive already done the valve clearance checks on my 250 3 times (I pretty much do it every oil change since we spend most of the time in redline) and the hardest part is always the CCT. My fingers were getting tired and cramping from the whole process. When I was having some loud ticking noise I had a feeling it was the CCT but also worried I may have dropped a valve or something. I took the cheap gamble of buying a new manual CCT instead of completely disassembling the motor and sure enough, after installing the APE manual CCT, noise went away. I rode Buttonwillow to test the bike and make sure everything runs fine. Trackday weekend the bike ran good and no odd noises.

For the convenience of it the $60 or so was well worth it. The OEM cam chain tensioner breaking down on me was more reason to do it.

Graugaard · August 20th, 2013, 12:07 PM

thanks tooblekain but that one cost me over 150$ with tax and shipping and thats a lil too expensive, why i need EU site

.

Well http://www.kriegercamchaintensioners.com didnt have any in stock before 4 weeks, and since i broke my current, i can't ride... arhh really no one sells them in EU?

tooblekain · August 20th, 2013, 01:59 PM

It's a small package that can fit in a padded envelope or box...you can probably see if someone here in the US will buy it for you and ship it. You may just need to pay them back costs plus shipping (and maybe a small tip for the trouble).

Graugaard · August 21st, 2013, 11:59 AM

thanks for the tip but i just bought a standard automatic one.. was too much mess the other way. :/ .. It's a pain to install imo, but that should fix the noise it since it's new, and not damaged. <.<
