Oh I'm with you mate. I didn't realise Bazza converted them to manual thanks for that! If I went with the stopper mod option, and in time one of the Cct's failed, would it save the engine from the serious damage that would normally happen? With the stopper mod in place, if one failed would I know it...

Thanks very much for your replys guys I got the CCT's from a private seller on eBay so won't be able to get my money back. I think the way forward of me then going on what's been said is to adapt the ones iv got in terms of the stopper mod. Then recruit the assistance of a local specialist to fit th...

Hey Guys, Iv been reading up on how to change my CCT's but I just wondered if I could pick your brains before I have a go at doing the job myself? Unfortunatley I ended up buying Auto Genuine (Standard CCT's) before reading the threads on here DOH!!.... I should have got the Manuals!! Anyway Iv got ...

WOW, we'll my rear pre-load was set to 5 from the bottom! It's now down to 1 (softest)

My front pre-load was set to the second notch, now iv set it to 1 making it firmer!

Thanks again for the advice

Scott

Thanks alot mate! Can't wait to get tinkering now!

Scott

Thanks alot mate that's very helpful! Just one other quick question? For the rear, if the spring is the preload how do I adjust the dampening on the rear?

I'll give that a go after work

Scott

Sorry guys I know this subject has been covered before, but iv been reading all the previous write ups and I cant match one that best suits me.... Could someone tell the the best settings to adjust my Preload and Rebound settings to, front and rear? Im about 12 stone and about 5 foot 10 Iv not set a...

so it should still give the same reading as before (speed wise)?? The speedo is a reflection of a preprogrammed ideal (i.e stock) system (gearbox and stock gearing), alter the gearing of the sprockets to something different then the bike doesn't know that and will report what it thinks the bikes sp...

the indicated speed is altered because you get a different number of revolutions of the rear wheel to the number of revolutions of the front sprocket if that makes sense When you say it like that, it makes sense lol Thanks MJONESY. Its kinda obvious now come to think of it..... Looking forward to t...

Speedo doesn't run of the front wheel with a cable but electronically via a sensor on the back of the engine and is calibrated to a stock geared system to provide indicated mph. So when you alter the gearing the resulting indicated mph goes out of wack. Cheers Wicky, This is what i cant get round i...

Im just trying to get me head round this.....

Iv been reading other threads but still none the wiser.

If I change the front sprocket to say a 14t, why does it alter the speedo readings?

I can understand it changing the revs, but why the speed reading?

iridiums are past there best beyond 5-8k. and you cant clean them like you would ordinary plugs as it bolloxes the coating up. small price to pay for good performance tbh. mine were about a fiver each free delivery. http://www.amazon.co.uk/NGK-IRIDIUM-SPARK-DPR9EIX-9-DPR9E-IX9/dp/B001GD5TL0 at that...

Thanks benny, yeah mine are Iridiums too. Still good for another 3k them ha!

Has anyone had any experience of a 14 tooth front sproket??

Scott

Scott

I Last changed mine last June (When i bought the bike) Iv got me new oil and filter ready for when I get the bike back out after winter, but just wondering weather or not to do the plugs while im at it??? And when it comes out of hibernation Iv a...
