Adjusting a manual cam chain tensioner cct.

I apologize for the poor camera work. Slightly difficult to hold a camera and tools at the same time. I'll use a tripod next time. But basically, the steps I used is loosen the locking nut, back out the tensioner screw until you hear the chattering get louder, tighten the tensioner until the chattering goes away, then turn it 1/4 turn in, then set the locking nut.

I just picked up a 08 zx6r and will probably have to adjust the cct as well. By the way, where did you get the monster graphics ?

Thanks,

Serge

@syagolnikov I got the graphics off ebay.

How often do you have to adjust your CCT? Does it vary?

[wedginator]

@mountainthrasher500 It varies... sorta... When I notice the engine is ticking louder than normal, then i'll adjust it. Typically it's anywhere from 10,000kms - 20,000kms.

great video man! Especially since it goes for all manual cct's on almost any bike. My f4i is notoriously known for the stock cct to fail around 10-15k. Replaced it with manual. Word to other viewers dont loc-tite the nuts or screws (like I did). You WILL have to adjust it again in the future and some bikes (like mine) give absolutely ZERO room to work in. Others are more easier to get to like this one, which I am jealous over. lol.
