[QUOTE="RavFJR, post: 1439965, member: 20575"] Yes, since this is usually a 26K repeatable maintenance action (valves), one would think an easier process could have been incorporated - 😕 I selected a manual chain tensioner because the first one (blue dot) failed at about 27K miles. I installed a green dot CCT and from the start it still offered chain noise. This being the case, I took it to a local motorcycle racing bike shop ( as the local Yamaha shop went out of business) to do the valve inspection and replace the CCT. They found the (green dot) CCT defective, as it wouldn't adjust out enough to make a proper adjustment on the chain. I had another (green dot) CCT for the shop to use, but they convinced me to go with a manual one. They showed me 3 bikes in the shop with failed auto CCTs, one being another FJR. I know that there is a lot of strong opinion about the use of a manual one, but it's given me no issue, and has worked great since the bike shop did the work. [/QUOTE]
