The main thing I noticed after fitting them is the idle speed increased slightly...

before the manual cct's the idle was 1300~1400rpm, after fitting its increased to 1400~1500rpm...

small difference but a difference non the less...

peace of mind is definately the best part though...

My bike which is 33bhp restricted will touch 60mph in 1st at the redline....

thats on stock gearing...

just for the record

Been a while since I logged on :S Still got the Firestorm (obviously :P)... I have drilled 8 8mm holes in each of the exhausts :) It sounds soooo much better now :) Its got a nice gentle rumble now, but might enlarge the holes a bit more yet... 8 8mm holes isnt that loud, can still hear the engine w...

Thanks Chris Followed the procedure when I fitted my manual tensioners... Don't know whether it is just my bike but there seems a lot of safe adjustment between the cam chain rattling and the chain chirping :S I think it was 2~3 full turns :S I adjusted mine by backing them off until the cam chain r...

Thanks for the replies, I have fitted a pair of manual CCT's from Debben Nice quality :) Just took a bit to adjust the front tensioner :P Big hands and small areas dont always work together ;) I adjusted the tensioners by backing them off until I heard a camchain rattle and then turned them in a bit...

Just wanted to double check something...

I dont need to drain the oil when I do the CCTs do I?
Seeing that they are both high up...

Hello. I will be replacing my CCT's hopefully soon with Manual ones as I have got the tell-tale rattle of the cam chain... I dont want to simply fit stoppers in the one I have got as its not really a cure for the problem.... I will be fitting them myself, thats not the problem... What I want to ask,...

Yep...

I did see a yellow VTR down there...

Havent been this evening as its wet and cant be bothered

Might go next week though...

haha...

Its still a great song though

Better than most of this modern rubbish in my opinion :S
(I'm 19 so I suppose I should like modern music )

Just wondering if the bloke I was chatting too on Tuesday night is on this forum?

He was riding a Y reg Yellow Firestorm, with Viper cans and handlebar conversion.

My bike was the 33bhp restricted blue Firestorm.

I always learn the speed to rev's of my bikes...

Then if the speedo goes, I am OK

2k-20mph to 7k-70 is fun in second

A great song for you people

Thats enough now.. this is a bike forum where we should be talking about wheelies and stotties and such like. Are doughnuts ok as well? :P Oh well, at least the humour on here is Puri dead Pan :D I will Baguette, get my coat and simply Roll out the door :P EDIT: Oven bottoms are nice... But althoug...

Any people in sunny cornwall, going to the Hayle bike meet this evening?

Just wondered, as me and a friend might be going down...

wonder what BHP it kicks out?

mind you...cornering would be interesting, let alone commuting
