    APE Racing

    Apparently, on Honda Super Hawks (like mine) cam chain tensioners, or CCTs are prone to going out. This seems to happen from what I've read somewhere between 10000 and 30000 miles. I have been doing some research on the fixes and I decided to order some manual CCT made by APE Racing, located near Mojave, CA and the Willow Springs Raceway.

    I called before placing my order to make sure the parts I needed were in stock and spoke to Pat. Very nice guy. Pat walked into the parts area and physically checked to make sure the parts I needed were there and told me he'd wait for my order to come through on-line and make sure my parts got out ASAP.

    I got UPS tracking information within a couple of hours and my CCTs and gaskets will be here Friday. Great service, nice folks to deal with. Thanks APE Racing.

    APE has a very cool website with all kinds of cool stuff for road and dirt racing. http://aperaceparts.com I wasn't familiar with them before now. I don't know if I did the link properly, but you can google it.

    Yes they are a great aftermarket option (not always cheaper). How ever for people planning on regular maintenance this wont make you happy. You'll soon learn how much a cam chain stretches over time and frequently have to adjust the APE tensioner. Just informing, as a lot of people are not aware.
