[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 757782, member: 1875"] I agree that it should not be possible. It's only from personal experience that I insist otherwise. I've had two instances where the valve cover was removed, the right side cover was in place, and while removing the old CCT the chain slack settled against the crank sprocket and became jammed, thus preventing the new CCT from properly seating. It's a sickening feeling because what should be a one hour CCT change, quickly turns into much more. Now I NEVER risk it and make sure to also remove the right-side cover, then tie-wrap the cam chain on both sides of the crank sprocket before changing anything. Re-timing an FJR sucks! [/QUOTE]
