Mr.XXBlackbird Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Ok so heres the deal, the last couple of rides I have been noticing a vibration when at highway speeds ...its comeing from the engine ...almost like a miss but it is not there at idle...and it seems to be getting worse I am going to take the bike to the local honda dealer to have it checked out .. but I thought I would ask here first ..so that I have an idea of what might be going on before I turn it over to them....by the way I changed the oil and plugs about a month ago when I first started sensing there might be a problem....it was very light at first and has grown into a very noticeable buzz Do you think changing the CCT would help -I only have 8500 mi on it any help is appricated on this issue also I am going to have my new Pilot Roads installed this weekend anyway ...cant wait to try em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86gn Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Any luck on finding the problem yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.XXBlackbird Posted June 16, 2003 Author Share Posted June 16, 2003 No :sad: ---I just put on new tires and cant ride because I am afraid that what ever it is is going to hurt the engine....on top of that we have had two days of good weather (mornigs at least) at last...going to pull the tank and air box off and check the plugs and wires ...thats as far as I will go myself ... then its off to the dealer if that dont fix it :sad: and there goes my new exhaust money but I'd rather have a sound bike w/stock pipes Still open for suggestions R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimyz250 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 how is your drive chain wear? mine is worn and the main reason I know it is becasue of the slight vibration and also becasue of the tight and loose spots of the chain when I oil it or adjust it. when riding it feels like a weird grinding vibration, but not quite, hard to explain, but I know its the chain.. just a thought. also if your chain has been emiting thaty wonderful red dust between oilings.. good indication its about to die... hope you find it and hope you find its something minor!

kg4fku Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 is it right at or about 4,000 RPM. If so it is probably the CCT. Mine does that and I am replacing it this weekend. Let us know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.XXBlackbird Posted June 16, 2003 Author Share Posted June 16, 2003 Not the chain..for sure ...happens when in neutral...after further inspection .. sound/vibration happens through out rev range just more noticeable above 4000...sucks too, buzz through the bars ..Icant enjoy even a short ride ...gotta get it fixed ... just mounted my new tires ...the sun is shining today and I took my car, just to give you an Idea of how bad it is. :cry: :cry: R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBird Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Changing the CCT will run you 40-50$ USD and 20 minutes (or 2 hours if your blind with no arms). I'd start with that before sending your bird in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBird Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Here are the part numbers... Ask for part # 06140-MAT-315. If they look at you weird, ask for part # 06140-MAT-305 (both numbers reference the same thing). Go to your nearest dealer and have them order one for you. Installation: The CCT is on the right side of the engine, when you seat on the bike. Remove the bolt that holds the innerfairing (the black unpainted long piece that fills up the gap between tha frame and the side fairing) and loosen the fairing bolts, move the fairing out a bit and you should be able to see a piece bolted to the engine with two bolts. You do not need to remove the whole fairing. Dont forget: Once the CCT is bolted on, you can pull on the little piece of metal at the end of the CCT BUT NOT BOFORE IT IS INSTALLED! This will release the tensoner onto the CAM Chain. Put the fairing back into it's place and Voilà! Brand new engine! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
