Awesome detail, thanks for going to the effort. I've just got my machine and you guys will be my go to for parts/mods. From what I see, your online feedback is second to none, and this sort of video validates it. Thanks from Australia 🦘

I got a 22 yxz1000 xtr I do have slight rattle at my first initial start then it goes away so is it ok to hear this little rattle or should I be concerned. After my engine warms up it goes away then if my machine sits for s few weeks I first start it gets little rattle but then goes away am I ok?

It's pretty clear that the manual tensioner prevents the timing marks from lining up @5:00. So, ya. OEM it is.

Hey. Thanks for the video. I just picked up a new CCT for my 07 R6. Looks the same as the one in this video. If I just wanna swap in the new one, is there an alternative to zip tying the cams to chain?

After doing a complete oil change and starting it up, is that the timing chain rattling around for 2 seconds till it gets oil pressure then?

[@jasonweller]

Yes that is correct.

I got the slightest rattle at a cold morning start up. 2022 yxz1000 800 miles. I've noticed if I drive a few days in a row it doesn't rattle at cold morning start but if my machine sits a few weeks slight rattle at start up. It never rattles again after it's warm. Is this normal just that slight little rattle for a sec or should I be concerned

I have an '18 with 2,500 miles and no problems. Should I leave well enough alone or should I remove my oem tensioner and reinstall it?

[@WellerRacing]

I would just leave it. 👌🏼
