Consumer Description

THIS IS THE SECOND STOCK CAM CHAIN TENSIONER REPLACEMENT THAT I HAVE HAD DONE ON THIS BIKE. THE REPAIR WAS DONE BY MALCOLM SMITH MOTORSPORTS IN RIVERSIDE CA. THE CCT FAILS. RESULTING IN A LOSE CAM CHAIN, CAUSING A LOT OF NOISE. IF THE CAM CHAIN SKIPS A TOOTH, IT CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH. THE NOISE COMES FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. IT IS REALLY LOUD AT START UP AND AT IDLE SPEED.
