APE Manual CCT's

Post by Golgother »

Hey All

Coming up to service time.

How do I tension the APE Manual CCT's correctly ?

Cheers

How many mikes have they been on the bike for. I doubt they need adjusting unless they have not been set up right to begin with. Once manual tensioners are fitted they should not require any adjustment for about 20,000 miles. The best time to do them is when valve clearances are due to be checked/adjusted as they will need re-setting anyway if clearances are to be adjusted.

As for setting the tension.
