advice plz

Post by trigger »

hi im from N Ireland and recently gotta myself a storm as ive always wanted one from i passed my test 10 years ago and owned an sv650.

I have noticed that when the bike is warmed up and when ticking over if you apply a little throttle i can hear what i think is loose chain (cct?)
the bike does it when loaded i.e coming of engine break and from what ive read i think its the cct's
any advice would be great.

Search CCT and then read all the posts. If you're ok with tools then put stoppers in asap if not then either get someone to put in new CCT's or manual ones. If you do it yourself just make sure you follow the instructions regarding getting each cylinder to TDC before removing the CCT. I's fairly straightforward the only problem I encountered was the large access bolt on the flywheel cover is seized in so I had to drain the oil and remove the cover completely.
I've got someone making me a pair of manual ones for £50 + p&p. I'll put some pics up when I get them.

Mines the same as yours it rattles slightly but with the stoppers in I know that if it fails it won't do any damage. Still want to fit manuals so that I can get of the rattles.
