MCCT's for dohc Husky's now available.

After following RedRims thread http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7653&highlight=cam chain tensioner I have been looking for the mcct's to come to market for the dohc Husky's. Looks like there are here. http://www.bigborethumpers.com/tensioners.html

edit: I just placed an order for 2 of these. They do have them in stock.

I did some testing for them on the prototype, it has been on my bike for 10 hours or so now and works great.

I was interested in this project after I put the 300 kit in my txc. The cap on the factory CCT was extremely tight when I took it apart and when I re assembled it the threads stripped almost immediately. I was able to take the washer off and get enough threads to use it for a few days while a new OEM CCT was shipped to me. The original CCT was showing the some wear and I had more cam chain noise than I liked at an idle. The new one OEM CCT made the noise go away. So my old one was sent to APE for them to measure and they sent me one from a 610. It worked but was really close to the starter and probably would not work on a bike with no chain wear.



I ran it for a while and they sent me a updated one.



Now I have a nice quiet bike with no worries of the CCT slipping.


Later,

My 510 sounds like a can of nuts and bolts the first few seconds after start up most of the time. I am tired of the noise and the worry. I had to get a MCCT for my 510. Figured the 250 (not a 310 yet ) could use one to for good measure.

+ 1 ......

??? If you have a MCCT on the 510, do you think that's what is making it rattle when it starts?

My '08 510 often rattles too, but I am pretty sure it is the auto decompressor. All that noise can't be good but I'm told that it is normal. I doubt the cam chain tensioner has anything to do with it on my bike.

How do you know when to adjust the manual tensioner, and by how much?

I do not have the mcct on my TE yet, still in the mail. I do have 1 in my DRZ though. The consensus on TT from the DRZ guru's is set it and forget it. I adjusted it a couple thousands miles later anyways but it didn't seem like it needed any adj. By messing with it I could hear/fell I was still in the sweet spot. I have read alot of 610 owners have excessive cam chain wear. It's a different motor but the acct's are almost identical, idk.

jmetteer, my 08 450 has gotten louder on the cc side at idle as well. Did you replace the stock one with a new stock one and get a quieter motor?

What did the wear look like?

The mcct for the 610 uses a 3" bolt and when Jake installed that one we found out that the bolt was too long and the adjuster nut was too close to the starter. So we used the same body but installed a 2.5" bolt and got more clearance for adjustment.

As for the adjustment we recommend that you check the adjustment when you are doing a valve check.
