[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1285278, member: 3828"] But... If one were determined to do it [I]before[/I] the first valve check, or between checks at any mileage, it doesn't require a great deal of work to access the CCT. You really only need to remove the right side lower faring panel, and the timing chain cover on that side, so that you can secure the chain tension while removing the CCT. No need to do any disassembly under the tank like you do to check the valves. Here is my patented method of holding the chain tight while the CCT is removed. That is a 1/4" drive 10mm socket that I'm pointing to, that fit perfectly behind the rear chain guide, which is the one that the tensioner normally pushes against. JAm that in there before removing any tension and you are good to go. [IMG]https://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad4/FJWinNH/FJR1300%20Modifications/100_1590.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
