[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 846995, member: 18388"] All good points, Fred. Interestingly, when we changed BikerGeek's CCT last fall, we found the same as you, it would not stay retracted without the keeper. I think Bill's new one did (surprise), and when we did the Geek's valve clearances this time, it stayed retracted as well. It's a little tricky as there is a "trigger point" or click that is a bit hit or miss, so you might have to do it a couple of times. If you are just replacing the CCT, as we did last fall, we did not have the valve cover off, and we were very careful to tie wrap the cam chain down by the crank sprocket and even more careful to verify the CCT had fully extended (triple checked) as it can partially hang up.
