I hope it just turns out to be a simple CCT change for you mate.

One of my Son's CCT's failed on his VTR. He ordered the part, but it was going to take a week to get in. He rode his bike to work and back for a week with it being noisy. It never loosened enough to cause damage. I might just add, I had advised him against ridding it, but what can you do with ...

At 80'000klm so fare without a problem, I'm curious to see how much longer they will last well tbh i think you will kick your own ass when they fail, especially seeing as you've looked at the stats and are aware of the failure rate. the least you should do is replace the old ones with new oem ccts ...

The rate of failure isn't good that's for sure. I'm still happy enough to leave mine as they are though. At 80'000klm so fare without a problem, I'm curious to see how much longer they will last.

This will be the final update. I have reached my 100 respondent limit for free access. The survey will be kept live. I may at a future date fork out some money for further results if the responses are there. I haven't drawn any conclusions, just included the questions and data. You can draw your own ...

I've attached a pdf of the survey results as they are at the moment. There are only 66 respondents, but the survey will be kept as a live document, so we will see what happens.

At the moment Evinrude are using this technology in their two stroke direct injection outboards. In this case they use the voice coil as an injector. It not only opens and closes ...

I had a bit of a brain fart when I put the survey together and forgot all about the SP's gear driven cams. The survey has been changed now. Interestingly the same tensioners are used in a number of models, even the new moto2 engines seem to use them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Colin_Linz ...

Hi Guys, I don't post much over this way, I usually hang out at the ozfirestorm bulletin board. I'm currently trying to build some data on Cam Chain Tensioner failures. To do this I have a short 10 question online survey that I hope to get VTR ridders to complete. The survey is for all VTR riders (F ...

I think you will find many will fit from a number of manufacturers. Most of the 5 wire ones will be a straight change over, you may just need to drill another mounting hole and replace the plug and terminals. If it's a 6 wire one you will most likely need to do the same, but add the 6th wire to ...
