Recon your own CCTS easily and cheaply
These are a viable cost effective alternative and are priced to allow regular changing during major service intervals. Made from high quality spring steel from a template VTR1000 spring.

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?

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.

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?
