Re: F4i cam chain tensioner

lol, go to www.cbrzone.com I think its on there for around $60. I replaced the cct in my f2 1.5 years ago with an APE manual one and its still running quiet. It comes with instructions, and is pretty damn straightforward. Check www.cbrworld.net forums for info...They have a few posts on it.

doodle, i put this up 2 days before your post. catch42 helped me, he had the same description and that's what it was. runs like a champ now. as far as easy, yes fairly if you can get the tank/airbox/throttle body off. the parts is just in a tight place. good luck check out the thread w/ pics.

Re: F4i cam chain tensioner

yeah, i didnt buy the gasket, just rtv it.... Its not hard, just a pain where it is located, we were gonna just drop my motor out the bottom of the frame a bit to do mine, but some retarded motor mount gets in the way.
