[QUOTE="yamafitter, post: 847122, member: 15141"] For the '08 model year Yamaha redesigned the CCT with a stronger spring and a few other changes. It is referred by many as the 'blue dot' CCT. The older design allowed for some chain slap over time and very few have experienced a CCT failure leading to very expensive valve damage. While I was not experiencing any cam chain noise on my '06 AE I changed mine out to the redesigned model as a preventative measure. I see from your profile that you ride a '06 Gen II. I'm assuming you bought it used so the next time you have the tank off take a flashlight and check the top of the CCT for a blue dot. If you can't find the dot then you should consider changing it IMHO. To have a shop do this is expensive mostly due to the time it takes dealing with the original bolts. The parts are worth roughly $100. [/QUOTE]
