It isnt necessarily the CCTL. Thats just a common rattling noise (sounds like marbles in a car during the RPM range mentioned above) of sportbikes and Hondas in particular. CCTL = Cam Chain Tensioner Lifter

The part itself is $45-$60 depending on if you get the manual A.P.E or if you go with an OEM Honda piece.

Labor varies. I was quoted $200 by Honda, $185 by another local shop, and $55 by a 3rd shop. Online DIY stories say its easy and takes anywhere from 1-2.5 hours.

 

ill also add.. shoulda GOT A SUZUKI !!!! but like any bike do a radiator fuild change. its good to do that every few thousand miles. HELP KEEP IT FRESH and its Summer time Bikes dont like to sit at a stop light just waiting.. ya 220+ the fan should have been turned on to help KOOL it down !!!

 

this is not exactly your bike, but it should give you a general idea

I believe the fan on my F4i as well as my RR comes on at 217F (it might be 220F).

 

Thats why yamaha's bikes placed last in both the 600 and 1000 in the comparisons.

 

ok so i took to to Jarmans a dealership around here and had them look at it...the guy said its nothing in the engine its just something loose in the cluster....whatever it is its annoying and i guess i got to take the all the fairing off the front to find it.....

also if anoyng on here knows where i can find the right side fairing for the 03 red and black cbr 600rr i would appreciate it.

 

the order changes year by year and usually the newest model usually tops the polls.

 

Yes the order changes year to year. BUT the R6 and R1 have been last the past few years I beilive.

 

and those comparisons actually mean a friggin thing?

 

...Thats a huge assumption from the info he gave... lol
