Well done that man for taking the chance on these new mcctjchesshyre wrote:Well, I finally got round to fitting these tensioners yesterday having done two trips down to London and back (400 mile round trip) in the meantime. At last my mind can rest a bit now on journeys like that.
Massive thanks to cybercarl for the brilliant instructions for changing tensioners which I was very grateful to have.
A quick question - I'm aware that the engine will sound a little different with MCCTs vs autos but I'm not sure if I have mine set a tad loose. I measured 6-7mm of up and down play in the camchain centre run but I can hear a little chain noise even when the bike's fully warmed up, especially under load around 3k rpm. I'd barely even call it a rattle - just noise, definitely from the camchain(s), that wasn't there before. I'm wondering if I could do with nipping them up a tiny bit more or whether this is normal. Obviously there's the usual problem of trying to describe sounds in writing...don't spose any members with MCCTs fitted live in the North Wales or Cheshire area who could have a quick listen to my engine?
Here's a picture of one of the CCTs in situ:
They look great and the o rings on the shaft are a great feature
I wonder are the shafts manufactured by the seller or have they found a ready made shaft for something else
