i could be wrong it might have just been a coincidence that all my honda ones were red and all my kawi ones were green

no clue

 

Im almost positive it will, 98.66667 % sure

 

My old Suzi ones were blue?? I always thought they were colour/brand matched.


F4i and 954 ccts have diffrent part no's. From APE and genuine.

 

yup found out part numbers are different so I`ll get me a manual one, thanks guys!

 

My stock F4i CCTL failed causeing the chain to loosen up break off the top chain guide and throw the valving timing off. Lucky for me the motor didnt eat a valve. Didnt fail until 50,000 miles though. I just put in the APE manual one. How are you guys locking these things I dont really trust it not to back out. thanks.

 

I just locked the nut down and mine was fine


I was kind of scared of it backing out, but it didn't so **** it! lol

 

What's the easiest way to change them? I had to tighten the top bolt on mine and it was damn near impossible to get a tool to it.

 

I'm not sure the easiest

I just pulled the gas tank (helps to remove the fuel line from the fuel rail) disconnected the injector and the other plug by the injector

and just reached in with my skinny hands!


It was a bitch and a half!

 

its a bitch, first time I did one it took at least an hour,**** mabey 2. Ive done a few since and can swap'em in about 15 mins now

 

bullshit 15 mins, with the motor out!

haha i bought an swivel head socket attachment, that made it easier. i wish i woulda taken the fuel rail off...my problem was gettin it tight enough, i wish i coulda put more torque on the hex bolts.

in all a lot of cussin and fingering got it done...never loosened or backed out

 

its 50/50 but i just bought a stock replacement and yeah it was a bitch to do and it was the 1st time i've done one but i bet i could do one now in 30mins

 

with the motor in, Im not bullshiting you.

 

midget fingers

 

actually if you try to stick you hand in there, your fucked, thats why it took me like 2 hours the first time. you need a really long allen and 2 really long 15's or 17's , cant remember which.

 

that was the only way I could do it, sticking my hand in there!


I just stuck my hand in to finger tigthen the bolts, then used a small allen wrench to tighten them down

 

ya i tried the long allen method and about shot myself in the face after dropping the hex bolts every time......

i hate the lil nagging things that make easy mechanical jobs a bitch...

 

you dont have to buy one you can turn your stock tensioner into a manual so easy!!!!!

 

need answer quick i just put my tensioner in and i need to no how tight to make it????????????????

 

i went till the rattle went away, then backed it off a little. test rode it to make sure it was good. i also adjusted it while the bike was at running temp.

 

use these instructions.
