rattle and a tick - 5/21/2008 9:29:58 PM    fah_kinright Posts: 15 Joined: 12/9/2007 Status: offline Finally got my bike running after winter storage. when i bought it in the fall it had a light rattle/tick which seem to come from the right side (on bike) of the bike. now that i got it going again, as i let in run and get things moving again. the Rattle seems more rougher now. kind of rattle, tingy. seems to smooth out a little when i adjust the throttle control speed screw, but never goes away Any ideas what i'm looking at?

You can pick up a manual cct on ebay for under $50.00. They're not that hard to replace also. Not sure what the dealers would charge you, probably don't want to know! _____________________________ 95 cbr f3 Chrome swing arm, Chrome rear wheel, Chrome rear brake caliper, Chrome clutch cover, Chrome passenger pegs, Chrome clip on's, Stainless Vance & Hines SS2R slip on pipe.

That manual wil tell you how to check and replace the CCT. The one the comes on the bikes from the factory, adjusts the tention on the cam chain automatically, but over time it will go out of wack. Since then they have come out with a manual one that is much, much better. Once installed it will take away that ticking noise, and if you hear it come back, you can adjust it yourself until the ticking is gone. _____________________________ 95 cbr f3 Chrome swing arm, Chrome rear wheel, Chrome rear brake caliper, Chrome clutch cover, Chrome passenger pegs, Chrome clip on's, Stainless Vance & Hines SS2R slip on pipe.

I adjusted it it adn it seems fixed, but there just seems to be a little knocking in there. Any ideas?  I do have 43000 on this bike, so it could be due for something, or maybe it''s just age?
