Success! Picked up my new CCT today. Before removing the old one, I placed an appropriate socket to keep the tension on the crank cover and carefully retracted the plunger. Removed the old CCT and installed the new. Heart raced a little, wondering if everything was going to work but turned the...

This is an update from my original post regarding my 2003 FJR not starting after I had changed the CCT. Well, I removed the valve cover and noticed that the intake cam was off by one tooth and the lower cam shaft was off by 720 degrees so, after standing around and trying to figure out how to...

A – the model year of your FJR- 2003 B – the number of miles on your FJR when the cam chain noise became apparent-24,xxx C – what action did you take, i.e., replace the CCT yourself, have the dealer do the work, ignore the noise, etc., and at what mileage - 24,xxx- replaced part myself D –...

Sorry guys, I meant to say CCW for the release and CW for the retraction. I did have to disconnect the O2 sensor connector (I think it's for the O2, regardless it's the connector right by the throttle sensor). I disconnected it so I was able to have more room to drop the CCT out from the bottom...

Thank you for your suggestions. I've just printed all the information everyone has contributed and will be going over it tonight. If I can, I'll start removing the necessary parts tonight. I'll also be documenting the process and hopefully be able to post my steps with my final step...

First, thank you, yesterday after this occurred and I was not able to start the bike, I just about cried...well, not really, but definitely felt several beads of sweat forming on my forehead. Now, I'm excited and nervous to apply everything I've learned from all of you. Here are the sequence of...

FJRBluesman, As I was puttng the new CCT into its' place, I noticed it was a little difficult because the two bolts that hold the CCT barely had enough thread to catch, so I pressed it in enough for the threads to catch and continued tightening the two bolts. Once that was done, I turned the...

Constant Mesh, First thank you for chiming in. I'm looking for any help I can get and am willing to take a crash course in learning. .. Yes, I did release the tension on the CCT.

FJRBluesman, I haven't been able to get this disgusting feeling out of my stomach, fearing that my FJR has had it's ride...Bluesman, I'm praying you're right because as of now, I'm in a fog as to what to do. I've found posts from Howie on how to do the timing- looks very technical, but I'm...

Thank you HaulinAshe! Sounds like I've just inherited a big headache. I'm mechanically inclined but this seems a little overwhelming.

Well it looks like I'll be redoing the timing. I've done this on a car but never on a motorcycle. Any suggestions, tips, tricks of the trade,... Thank you, Duke

Well, today I decided to change my CCT due to a rattling noise by the cam chain area. My 03' FJR has about 25,xxx miles, has always started right up and smooth riding, synthetic oil change regularly, as a local firefighter, I've takened it on service runs to OR and CA to assist in forest fires...
