Reason im asking is mine is failing. Daily winter commuter , 31k 2015 tracer.
Some guy showed me pics of his cam chain guides after Yamaha had to strip the engine back to get the entire system out.
It was destroyed by the manual APE tensioner. He probably would not admit it, but it looked to be to tight.
Has the stock yamaha CCT been fixed since 2005. To prevent failure? Should I just order NEW stock Yam CCT?
I hear that the cam chain length varies with temperature . So I cant imagine the manual type could possibly compensate when the engine heats up. Or when its cold. Im already 2 miles up the road bythe time I get to normal temp. The cam chain noise stops when the engine heats to around 65C
