RQ Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I spotted in a thread that some of you fit the X11 CCT. Did I read that right, and if so (ahem) What is an X11 CCT :oops: ? Is it just a later adjusted CCT or another manufacturers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rockmeupto125 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Oh c'mon, bunkie.........an X-11 is a naked XX. We don't have them here in the colonies. The CCT is somewhat different for the X-11, and we've had a bit better luck with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RQ Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Whoar, a Nekked Bird?!? Thanks for that "Rock......" On the VTR forum there are a few clever mods floating about in the workshop section. Main one was bolt down the centre so when the CCT did go pop, it wouldn't release and cause havock inside. Is the CCT in the Bird sprung with a rotational spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I've been wondering that myself, and yes it has a rotational spring. Might even be interchangeable. I wonder why on the Superhawk when the CCT goes the cam chain goes. On the XX you just bolt on a new CCT. 2 bolts and a small gasket.

RQ Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 That's not a bike, that's a tank!! I actually did see one of those before and I lurve it!! Pete, on the Hawk, when the spring snaps, it releases the tension on the ratchet mechanism in the CCT. With the vibes of the v twin, the plunger retracts and takes the tension off the chain. When this happens, then the chain jumps a cog or two and then valves meet pistons etc. When you are changing the CCT on the Hawk, you must keep the tension on the chain by alternate methods or release the tension on the cams, as if it is mid cycle and the spring is compressed, when you take out the CCT, the spring expands, and throws your timing all over the place. On the Hawk, it was found that the spring was the issue, and no, Honda didn't strengthen it........... nor have plans to do so!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
