Click Although much less common in Triumph circles, someone came up with this modification. Under deceleration the ratchet lets the CCT back off, producing a loose chain condition so the chain skips teeth on the sprockets. I suppose this is what happens to the Husky tensioner? How about some opinions from some engine experts? Does this look like a good idea to you guys?
Looks like a good idea to me. Much easier to buy a mcct imo. http://www.bigborethumpers.com/tensioners.html
I think that is a clever idea. The problem trying to implement it to the Husky is its spring is 3mm, half the diameter of the Triumph, so the securing thru-bolt could only be 3mm in diameter. The working length @ 10 clicks needs to be 30mm or more so we would have a 3x30+ bolt. I would think there would be a tendency to bend. But maybe since it is only baking up the cogs, it would work. Don't know for sure.
Is the 610 jumping teeth at its wear limit? Isn't there a factory manual CCT available? I thought there was.
