styran Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 2007 VFR800 with 22,000 miles (32,000 km) See youtube video below: Are these the dreaded CCTs? Is it normal to get them sounding like this with this little mileage? My buddies 02 started rattling at 44k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been posting on his behalf. He believes he has found the problem. I have told him several times to both grounds but only checked the main harness ground and never checked the grounding cable that goes from battery negative to the frame under the gas tank hinges. It was quite loose. Once he takes his bike on a couple test rides I'll update the other post. Just wanna make sure we've got it fixed 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styran Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 So @Grum, Should I replace them? I just replaced by buddies (the one with the electrical problem) CCTs at 41k miles. Mines only at 22k and starting to clack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does sound like the classic CCT symptom, with chain clatter up at the head covers, and from the R/H side. Listen closely and determine if its from the front or rear cylinders.
