Guys, I ordered a MCCT for my CRF250. I started hearing what I believe is some slap of the chain under small loads while not on big power. Like say cruising to the truck or to the track in the pits. Ive heard of these going bad anyhow so I thought id give it a try to avoid a catastrophic event. Bike runs good, has good power and has 37 hours on it. Is this straight forward or does anyone know of a link that can help? I do all my service but have never done one of these. Thanks in advance.
The factory has wear spec's for cam chains and the auto tensioner will not function beyond that amount of wear.
I suggest replacing the cam chain and using the OEM chain tensioner.
You will never keep your cam chain manual tensioner adjusted as well as the OEM auto tensioner will do on it's own and you will not use the cam chain beyond it's service life and thus may avoid a blown engine.
