[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 1422549, member: 956"] Thanks Skooter. Not yet decided to replace or not. [FONT='lucida sans unicode']Yes. Hit starter, rotated maybe 20 degrees and locked up. Knowing the chain was under duress I spent 2.5+ hours loosening CCT bolts within 2 threads of out which hopefully removed some tension.[/FONT] [FONT='lucida sans unicode']Just now examined the chain in the crank gear area and find nothing visually wrong. Secured chain to top sprockets then lifted exhaust chain follower allowing slack at crank gear. Carefully examined each link visually with magnifying glass looking for link difference pin-to-pin and plate separation spacing. Then carefully 'seated' the chain to crank gear teeth feeling for engagement issues.[/FONT] [FONT='lucida sans unicode']So far all looks good, chain wise.[/FONT] [FONT='lucida sans unicode']CCT appears to be in good condition too. I have a new one to compare with, both feel identical in spring wind up and release smoothness.[/FONT] [FONT='lucida sans unicode']Next step, install CCT, inspect entire length of chain and be sure timing hasn't slipped.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
