Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)
Difficult to say what the click is - have you a recording of it? If the MCCT is too tight it'll squeal - and if too loose it'll rattle even after warmed up - so likely nothing untoward. Important thing it that the lock nut is done up, and you've put something on the threads to help stop them unwind...

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)
I don't know what causes carb farts,but it sounds like a thump under the fuel tank.Nearly all Vtr's suffer from it.Mine used to do it before it warmed up properly. This is all making me feel better, I was starting to panic about my mccts, though I followed the instructions to a t and the engine sou...

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)
What is that? the click sounds like a light switch being turned on. Only happens a couple of times over a few minutes so I turned her off.

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)
Eek... the panic has struck! So I did he MCCT’s a few weeks back and all went well (other then scratching the tank), bike ran well, I’ve had it run up to temp in the garden twice before riding. Went out to warm it up again today and after 4-5min I heard a noticeable Click, it happened a few times ov...

Re: Best cans
I have GRmoto cans, look amazing, sound even better and have a removable muffler for those super loud days! Can get them brand new on eBay for a very decent price. Easy to fit as well. Well worth a look! (Also almost 10kg lighter then the originals!) Here’s the before and after sounds (a small speak...

Re: Hello - a new VTR rider
Just let her run for 10min to get to temp, oil level still perfect and I couldn’t see any leaks around the new mcct’s or the plastic covers and nothing dripping down. Sounds and runs great. Had a little light smoking just under the tank right of the carbs but that stopped and didn’t smell of anythin...

Re: Exhausts
So I’ve been away with work for a while and haven’t had time to get out much. I managed on Saturday for a ride and wow those pipes are epic! Even with the mufflers in they are loud and have a lovely tone to them. I also got the mini belly pan painted to match the rest of the bike - £40 well spent! I...

Re: Exhausts
Thanks posting and the comparison. No no probs, one of the things I like to search for is pics and vids on the bike, love to see what other people have done. I just spent the morning washing and polishing her up, the exhausts look perfect!! 477634DC-94B0-4705-9EC8-85B0C64321C1.jpeg 725AC302-6CD5-47...
