How do you get to the CTT( Maybe not a new topic?)

[motodoc42]

Not going to do it myself but just curious. It sounds as if the ctt itself can be replaced without getting into the top end. In other words, is there a procedure to replace the ctt independent of a valve check/ adjustment? The reason I'm asking is that a valve adjustment was recently done but I now would like to have the updated ctt. I don't see it described in the online manual I have access to. If so, what is the procedure. (brief detail.)
Thanks, Motodoc42 :question: :question:

From my study of the SM, it's almost to the point of doing a valve check/adjust but it appears you don't have to pull the valve cover off.

Remove the old CCT. Install the new CCT. Remove the CLUTCH cover to access the new CCT release pin. Button the clutch cover back up.

To clear this up, what do you have to remove to get to the CCT?

Remove Seat, Fuel Tank and Clutch Cover. The CCT is on the right side of the engine pretty near the frame rail. Kind of a tight fit with the harness in the way. You might have to unplug some things to get more room in there. Mine was all apart for the valve adjustment, so I had everything off anyway.
Once the new one is installed, you need to unlock the CCT plunger by giving the chain guide a gentle tap. Maybe a little more than a tap, but don't hit it with a sledge.

Reassemble in the reverse order as dissasembly.

I appreciate the reply-THANKS! Guess I'm reading a little too much into the service manual. Did you happen to take any pics when you did yours? I'm still waiting on parts so it will be a bit before I do mine. Sounds like the job is pretty straight forward.

if you want to do it with no lift on the valves at all, that will occur about 135 degrees before cylinder 1 TDC compression (if I have done my math correctly, and this is a 270-450 firing and not the other way around). I will have to do this soon, so maybe I will post some pics.

Sorry, no pics when I did it.

At least the tensioner is not backordered like the clutch basket is...but of course I'll be waiting for the clutch basket to come in before I install the tensioner so I don't have to take the clutch cover off twice. I actually ordered a clutch cover gasket, too, and CheapCycleParts folded the thing in half to get it into a smaller box. Wonder if it's any good now.

Check out the Barnett pressure plate kit while you're at it. It makes the clutch release a lot smoother than the stock spring. Some will say it works just fine now, but they don't realize how big of a difference the Barnett kit makes. Money well spent.

Stop it. I can't take it anymore. K'ching, k'ching. That's just gonna have to wait. I remember someone saying the there was a lack of aftermarket accessories for the Tenere. total BS

Yup. With the skid plate/crash bars, updated clutch basket, updated tensioner, luggage racks, upgraded suspension, new seat padding, new tires, etc...I thought I was selling my FZ-1 to help pay for my new-to-me 2013 S-10 and now it looks like I'm selling it just to break even on the updates and aftermarket

Pics would be great! I'm at a loss on how to figure where no lift on valves would be(unless I had the valve cover off). Is there an advantage to doing it this way(no lift on valves)??

The short answer is, no. There will probably be a long answer coming your way shortly which will contradict this to an extent. In other words, there are those that will tighten a drain plug without a torque wrench, and those that won't ::025::

but, for those that would like to know... 135 degrees before tdc cylinder 1
