I have a quiet but noticeable "Yamatick" that happens consistently around 3800 and 4200-4500 RPMs. The bike is an 08 with about 7k miles. Everything I've read points to it being the CCT.
I wanted to start a thread to clarify a couple things. First, is it possible to remove and oil the CCT (or replace with manual) without removing the timing cover?
Second, is this process correct:
Remove timing chain cover
Zip tie the chain so it stays tight
Remove CCT, rotate the crank clockwise a few turns to get it to disengage from the chain guide (???)
Place new CCT
Rotate the crank clockwise to get it to set into the chain guide (???)
Replace timing chain cover with new gasket and sealant
Any help is appreciated
