ok got a 00 bird and there is a rattle in the topend between 2000 and 4000 RPM it kinda goes a way when it gets warmbut still noticeable. the bikes also got a slight knock knock in the right lower part of the engine(a cluster of 3 every 5-10 seconds). suspecting cct or chain but would like advice

Cam Chain Tensioner = CCT

uvaldexx · 06-13-2007, 1:23 PM

Thank you KAZAAM02XX for asking the question!

Been wondering...WTF with the CCT?

John01XX · 06-13-2007, 1:27 PM

heheh !!!

Actually Honda has named it the "Lifter Set" but we have decided that we like to call it the CCT or Cam Chain Tensioner !!

Replacements available in stock at $35.50 delivered in the US.

KAZAAM02XX · 06-13-2007, 4:19 PM

Oh ok. Thanks. Wouldn't need that just yet, my silverbird is mint, just broke 4000miles on it few days ago.

John, I just looked at your site for the first time after seeing a few posts from you. I can tell you I'll be a regular.

hayseed20 · 06-13-2007, 8:29 PM

thanks every one that is what i was suspecting, but will it take care of the knock knock sound to. how hard is on to replace hours and difficulty im a John Deere Tech but i know shite about the internal workings of a Bird

for those of you that didnt know what a cct was dont feel bad niether did i till about a week ago with a really educated guess.

John01XX · 06-13-2007, 8:48 PM

The CCT takes about 10 minutes to swap out if you have not done it before. Two allen bolts and it is out.
Remove lower right plastic only to get to it.

easy job

hey I had a knock and I replaced the chain tensioner. I have low miles. the bike was just bought and I don't know what the previous owner did to it but it thurned out it was the crank shaft was bad and all by berings went bad. I am in the middle of fixing it now. but the cct I pulled off was fine. I think it was recently replaced and now I have 2. if you want one you can have it for free. I know it works and free is good to at least make sure it is your cct that's bad and not your crank. let me know.

hayseed20 · 06-17-2007, 3:51 AM

yeah id love to take it that would be great i dont know if the knock is as bad as im putting it off to be at least i hope not its an intermitent problem the bikes had know major mechanical problems that i know of and its got just shy of 90,000 miles on it. PM me for the info on my address.

NO NO NO, don't listen to any of these guy's.

After careful study of your problem, I believe I have pin pointed the problem.

Simple fix.

Change your key fob over to a rubber one, and the rattling should go away.

Consider your appendage stretched and contact John for a new CCT.
