I'm looking for some how-tos on how to mod the stock tensioner. From what I have heard the APE tensioner isn't really for me because I don't want to worry about it loosening up or having it set too tight or too loose so I decided that I'm going to mod the stock CCT but haven't been able to get any answers, so if you have done it please share with the rest of us how to do it. Thanks guys

ok mang...check the pix...
just use a center punch thing...you know...like in woodshop when you have to countersink the nail and the cock it so you can sand it and paint it?
just flare out the pin on the head...you'll see...one on top of the pix is flared, bottom is not...bottom one rattles, the top doesn't!

www.ronayers.com is usually cheaper for some parts but not all.

So i'm planning on modding my stock CCT this weekend and I have a few quick questions

1. I had the APE installed on my bike and the gasket that first came with the CCT is still attached to the stock CCT. Should I use the gasket thats with the APE, the one already joined with my stock CCT, or do I need a new one?

2. Since i'm dealing with the stock CCT I dont have a key and the shaft is fully extended. Can I do the install with the shaft extended or do I have to find a key to do it?

3. When i'm done flaring the pin in the head of the cctl should I make sure that it can't move around at all before the install?

Just to clarify, you guys are saying that flaring that pin in the stock cctl will solve the rattling problem? Or do you have to replace the bolt with the longer one described in the other thread called the jamby mod or something like that?

hibby, didn't you take the sucker apart already or something?
if you wedge a very thin screwdriver, like the type you use for glasses, in there, and turn right, the shaft will retract.

you'll need a new gasket. yes, flare the pin out. i used a nail punch to do so...make sure the otherside is properly supported so it doesn't come shooting out the other end. make sure the pin no longer moves.

now as you do this, you'll notice that the entire shaft has some play too, as far as my dealings with it, even stock from the factory, both the pin and the shaft have some play and will make some noise, but the really noisy ones...the pin has even more play.

vdub...there is always going to be some noise with the bike, and it's hard to decipher between things as bike rattle, vavle chatter, header leak, etc. with cctl as they are all some sort of clicking sounds...and based on the design of the stock cctl, it will make some noise...but it shouldn't make it to the extent that i've seen on some of these bikes...where it feels as if the entire tank is about to shake off.

When I was talking about how it worked and taking it apart, it was from looking at a diagram I had seen of how the cctl works.

So once I use the screwdriver to retract the shaft, what do I do once its reinstalled?

Also, the stock cctl has the gasket like stuck to it should i just scrape it off?

Thanks Tahoe for all your help with the cctl issues, you've posted on almost every question about it and are very helpful.

yes, you need a new gasket...

when you put in the screw driver and turn it to the right, the tip will retract about an inch...install the cctl and after you've tighten everything down, remove the screw driver and it'll come out, then put the bolt and washer back on there.

It would be great if someone could do a detailed write up of this procedure with pics. Maybe I'll attempt it this weekend. Hey, Tahoe, what's your phone number in case I get stuck half way through?
