You guys should know "I never get to anywhere"The final photo is Dolly getting ready to ride with Bustanut, Tim, Ray, Andy and yours truly giving the TwoWheelNut salute to the bunch of you.
You should have been here!!!!
Especially Tom (Huron52). We are very disappointed with you and will now show up on your doorstep and drink all your beer.
So the picture of you sitting on that big red **** (with a smile on your face I might add) was taken in your own d@mn yard?
You're just trying to preempt uninvited guests I think...

Had a question on the CCT replacement. On my 03, I had the CCT replaced at about 47000 miles when it started making noise (unfortuneately replaced with the old style CCT). Now, with about 93000 on it I am about to due a valve check (I know I am out of synch on when I do it) and would like to change the CCT. When you change the CCT, how do you ensure the cam chain doesn't slip on the cam or crank sprockets when the chain is loosened with the CCT off?
You remove the cam chain cover and run a tie rap around the chain guides. Then tighten the ty-rap before backing off the CCT.
Thanks, yeah last time I changed my CCT I had the cam chain cover off. Actually I had both cams out for valve shim adjustment so it didn't matter about the chain slipping since I had to put everything back together again anyhow. Now to put my fingers on a diet so they can get in there to change that CCT!!
With the modified bolts, tweezers and a screwdriver even I with my fat pudgy fingers can do this job. There is no need to stick your fingers in places where they do not belong
I must add, since I missed the video, Yamafitter kindly offered to give me a personal viewing, and said he will coach me when approaching the parts requiring the very dark welding glasses.
That's OK. I know that Pam would be willing to play the gracious host and send you to the Brewer's Retail for more while we eat all your food.
+1, Gunny on the Cam Chain Tensioner full write-up procedure proposal of SkooterG. I am going to replace my 2003 Miss Lucy Liu's CCT when I return home from CFR-NB 2011. If anyone could do a full tutorial on the change out process it certainly would be Bill and Ray.
I blame the dogs, which is why I chose the other bed. :devil: But thanks Jeff for letting us use your bike as an installation guide. It helped out a ton.
hwell: I think I would have gotten more out of the tech day. While the class was good, IMO it is not worth the $325 dollars I paid to attend it.unk:
Good to hear, Bill!
I measured the distance from the tab to the ring at seats the o-ring on both sides and found that the side that got banged around was not correct. With a little bendology I was able to correct this but still decided to use 2 o-rings on that side.
