nice one mark ! glad its sorted but ................ does it run anybetter or the same with the timing correct ??? what you need now is a large inlet trumpet hehe :lol: Mark, it runs exactly the same apart from its ever so slightly more difficult to start but hardly noticable :biggrin Has the trump...

i cannot see how a cam can jump a tooth by simply removing the cct when not at tdc?). Even if the chain goes really slack because the tensioner is removed and the chain slips around the crank or cam because the valve springs are so strong? Either way, good find. At least you checked and didn't run ...

Get some Dave Greenwood spring's £25 a pair delivered, fit them into your tensioner bodies and never think about cct's again

It really isn't difficult to do the cct's, but if your not mechanically minded your at the mercy of the trade.I dont know about the balancing as ive not had the need yet, but if i was to charge for my time to fit some tensioners i think £50 would be cheap. The £60 qoute i wouldn't trust

60k impressive! its a long shot but i presume you have enough slack in the chain? How long was it laid up for? petrol gone off maybe, choke cables working ok? wish i could be more help
just out of interest how many cct's has it had

Fitted the Greenwood springs to the tensioners i got from Jim, proceeded to fit the tensioners following the instructions on this site, set the tdc mark on the rear cylinder, removed the cam cover to discover the exhaust cam was one tooth out!!! bear in mind that this bike was running perfect and th...

Yes, look's well with those pipes

Counted six storms in Matlock today and three SP's, that red one is very nice though

170 rear on a vfr750, on the same size rim, never had a problem with that

I'd just like to add how I'm loving the Michellin Pilot Road 2. I've had Bridgestone BT014, BT021, Avon Storm ST on it before and the Michellins are the best out of all of them. Even the criminally short lived (1000 miles) BT014 supposedly grippy sporty race tyre. And here's the kicker, I've done 1...

Its a five and a half inch rim and a 170 fits no problem, i just happen to have a nearly new 170 in my garage, ive fitted smaller tyres before on other bikes and it actually speeds up tip in, i just wondered if anyone had experienced this on a storm

Anyone ever tried one of these on the rear?

Col I bought one off these a few years back for a vfr and it...
