Re: Noticed this when removed the carbs... expert advice nee
Yeps, front vacuum take off connected, t-pieced the back one. Made a carb balancer with a piece of tube and a ball bearing and properly balanced the carbs :) I know that these turns on the screws are just baseline. But when i balanced the carbs i did the blip test and whatever i do with the throttle...

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo
Mark Krieger's Firestorm instructions are based on manual tensioner installation procedure written here in the Workshop Knowledgebase, and cleary states finger tight then back it out 1/8 turn before locking it up. Not sure how you missed this. http://www.clems-garage.com/CCT/VTR1000%20directions.ht...

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo
There's one thing i dont understand... I was reading up on Kriegers website last night that for setting MCCT's tension, you turn them by hand until all slack in the chain is gone and then lock it off. While with this stopper mod, we should have slack. Is this just because we still use the original C...

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo
The spacer i used is 8 mm stainless steel as suggested :) I have no problem to put back the previous rod length of 10 mm to get the half turn again, it's only 45 mins work. Maybe even 30 mins as i'm getting used to pulling out the cct's :lol: Just thought it was wrong when i heard the rattle after c...

I know, that's why i don't understand it either.KermitLeFrog wrote:Seems strange. The stoppers should have no effect at all in a working auto tensioner. They are only there if the tensioner fails.

Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo
I did this stopper mod a few weeks back but couldn't test the bike until yesterday. 9mm in the back and 10 in the front, 1/4 turn on the back and 1/2 turn on front as suggested. Manually turned it around and all ok, no valves hitting :thumbup: So yesterday happily pushed it out of the garage to the ...
Re: ram air
You're saying 18 to 30 can be had from ram air alone? In other words from the extra air pressure alone? Takes some believing. Ram air seems to throw up an interesting paradox. The extra air pressure generated from speed gives you more power. But how do you get to that speed in the first place? :thi...
