Dave,

I just replaced a set of "new" OEM CCTs for a friend. I noticed the new CCTs had almost double the tension (guessing by "wrist-o-meter").

Are your springs made with a higher tension than the original OEM CCT springs?

I am interested in trying this out. Are there instructions on how to install the new spring properly??

More spring pressure is not the answer
 

Adding a new stronger spring is an iffy solution. More spring pressure means more stretch to the cam chain. What a waste. With a manual CCT, you are removing the slack, without placing to much tension on the chain.

ding ding ding..... what round is this ? This thread needs a card girl !!

lol

Any profit in that price?

I am pretty sure BirdofParadise said he replaced a set of CCTs with a new set of OEM CCTs. The last time I checked they didn't come in different spring pressure sets. I also don't see anywhere on this thread where SpringMan says that his springs are higher pressure.

I agree - using manual CCTs lets you set a lower stress on the chain, having the minimum force needed to quiet the chains should be the goal. A mechanics stethoscope ($15) is a bit better than the old screw driver to set the plunger screw.

Correct.
Replacements were newer OEM. There was a deffinate difference in the tenssion between old and new. I can't see the originals loosing that much spring pressure in 12,000 miles but I guess it could happen. The end result was significantly reduced noise. Yep it was not completely gone but was almost unnoticeable. Since the bike is a daily comuter any further hunting will have to wait.

When you guys are replacing with APE units does the cam noise completely disappear?
