They are catching on about the ACCT

[WMarshy]

Looks like the folks on ebay are catching on about the auto cam chain adjusters and are trying to exploit us.

I paid $25 for a pair of Venture ones with all the other cam chain stuff minus the cam chains. The thing is, I'm scared to death of both the valve adjustment and putting the auto CCT in for fear of skipping a tooth and damaging a valve.


I know, I know, I changed my engine and I've got a complete spare, but I'm not feeling up to a lot of that stuff these days since my accident. My confidence is pretty much down the toilet but there's nobody close by to have come by and offer a six pack and some BBQ (which I'm pretty good at) who's done this and can kind of help and guide me through this, and I'm afraid to tackle this one on my own.

Cy, my only words of wisdom are that I have removed and replaced the CCT on both of my XS11s (wrecked one and current) and removed and reinstalled more than once. So if I can do it, who can't!

Reality is if you keep the bike on the center stand, and set the timing mark to C and not T, you will not have any problems.

And yeas, not sure who it is, but I would bet money on that being a forum member. But give them credit for nto listing it for that money here on the forum anyway.

CY,I thought the same thing,before I replaced mine.I followed the directions on here,and it took me about 15 minutes,and was very simple.(and I am not,by any means,a mechanic on these's scoot's.But I do know how you feel,I'm scared to death of my carb's.I know,I know,there simple,but I have read some horror stories on here to.

In this economy you gotta do what you gotta do.

I have nothing against the person asking that price, if someone is willing to pay that for it, so be it. I just meant that the folks here know what one normally goes for and would find it overpriced and I am certain it would not have gone unnoticed.

[BA80]

That's how capitalism works and has worked for the last 240 years. Profit ain't a dirty word.

You don't want to pay that price, don't buy it but don't knock a guy for making a buck.

[motoman]

Paid $25 for one here locally two years ago. Actually you all should'nt be fussin' bout it too much, as two yrs. ago the list price new for ONE Venture/VMax tensioner on dealers fishe was $185 with an increase coming up with import fees........just sayin.....

[Elevener]

He also has a kickstarter for 10 bucks. The carbs look nice also, free shipping on all of it.

[WMarshy]

Im not knockin him, I reserve the option not to buy it. Good luck with your sale Greg.

Like I said, it's NOT me Wade. Look at the location, nowhere near Oklahoma.
