i have heard it mentioned but not sure. thanks. :icon_think:

It is a Cam Chain tensioner. Located just up from your oil fill under the right side fairing. When they go bad you will hear an increase in engine noise most folks say it sounds like a bag of marbles.

Its a cheap part to replace @$35 from a fellow board member shipped to you.

Takes maybe 10-15 minutes to swap out.

I just changed mine on my 97 XX with 45k on it.

To be completely correct, what is commonly refered to here as the CCT or cam chain tensioner is actually the cam chain tensioner lifter.

We had one guy order an actual cam chain tensioner once to fix his "CCT" problem and he was kinda surprised when he didn't get the part he thought he was going to.

I don't know if I'm the guy you're referring to, Tim, but it happened to me also. The CCT is part #4 on the link. The lifter is part #16, and this is the part that is commonly (and incorrectly) called the CCT.
