Hello guys. I come to you seeking help for the dreaded task of replacing the CCT on the '05 FZ6.
I can get a genuine CCT for about $AU100, and I like this option because the stock one has thus far lasted 60000kms, and I haven't had to fiddle with it - whereas a manual CCT will need adjusting, with the potential for over/under tightening etc.
I have read the various posts on doing this, on these here forums, and other forums - but I an just trying to get an 'all in one place' description really.
Firstly, as I have just done an oil change ($96!), can the side cover of the cam chain be removed without dropping the oil? (does the oil sit low enough in the sump?)
The reason I ask this is I'm looking at employing the ziptie method to ensure the chain doesn't skip a tooth.
Having said that, however, how likely is this? Can I not just loosen the two allen head bolts holding the CCT on, and put the new one on?
Do I need to fiddle with the centre screw in the adjuster?
Does anyone know if the genuine CCT has the plate/tape/whatever that keeps the CCT pin retracted for easier installation? (I read that this is removed after fitting/engaging the allen head bolts to assist with fitting)
There is a heap of different methods, but I'm thinking KISS - if I can just unbolt this one and replace, that would be the easier method?
I would really appreciate a 'how to' from someone that has done this on their FZ6, as I like to tackle all tasks I attempt on my bike with the greatest amount of knowledge as possible.
Please help!
Cheers,
Rick
