Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo

Hi Chris, that's great, completely understand that now. Which part?? I'm out on the Hereford road near the Squid pub Gilwern, not too far away. I pass that way regularly, so keep an ear out for my blue flames... If the bikes not trashed after the stopper'ectomy on the weekend :) Cheers again, Ian

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo

Hi guys, thanks for the advice. I'm not one to rush into things without knowing exactly what im doing, hence the question. I have read the step by step guide a number of times but it does assume that you know what to do with the key in order to lock it, and sorry, but its not obvious to me from the ...

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo

Great, thanks for that. I've made the key this morning, so ready to get going... Final question for now, I'm assuming the thin end of the tool is used for turning the worm, then inserting further (the 4.5mm bit) and turning (which direction and how much of a turn?) locks the worm in position? There'...

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo

Hi all, just need a little 'basic' advice before deciding to start taking my bike apart to attempt the stopper mod. In the original post on the subject, instruction 2 (2) I made up a copy of the Honda locking key, details from the Haynes workshop manual. Using the key turn the worm in the rear CCT c...

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo

Hi chaps, I'm also going to attempt the mod shortly. Maybe an dumb question but here goes! I'm thinking of getting a bike shop to switch out the ccts... Yes, I know, it's a wimps way out, but I couldn't live with myself if I screwed it up and knackered my bike... So a couple of hours labour for some...

Re: Another bike, another forum!

Hi guys, thanks for the welcome. Overwhelming push on changing the ccts, I'll do it. I've looked into the mod but have a fear of screwing up the timing etc, in attemting this myself. I have a good local bike shop who may be able to fit them for me... Don't think I'll have a problem doing the mod (on...

Another bike, another forum!

Hi everyone, just joined the forum so thought I'd say hi. Hi! :D I became the proud owner of a firestorm on Friday, and so far love it. It's got character, it's alive and surprisingly nimble. My bike history's a bit mixed trying to find the mix of power, sound, comfort and handling which suits me an...
