Help with changing to manual CCT's

Post by alternative_vtr »

Hi does anyone who knows what they are doing fancy helping me change to manual cam chain tensioners?
I have my new Kreiger tensioners and am keen to fit them, I don't feel confident doing the job without someone in the know with me / helping me. I have read the how to's but as its crucial to do right I would prefer to have help :oops: as in someone with me. Does anyone fancy helping me who is in the East or West Midlands? If you don't mind using your garage and tools I can come to you and give you some spondoolies as a thankyou or you can come to me? I couldn't make the workshop day (gutted) as I have to work most days, could do a Sunday or an evening depending on distance? A big grovel in advance. I can have it done at a local bike shop but would prefer to do it with a friendly biker.

i wouldve helped you out but probably a bit to far away and i'm on nights all next week. i did mine on friday and it really isnt that bigga job mate, just follow the instuctions and have a haynes manual to hand if you need pictures. and try to get the alternater nut thing off first becuase i was about 1mm from rounding mine off :thumbdown: but got it off and managed to get it all done without much trouble. it took me about 5 hours to do becuse every nut and bolt had been overtightened :whatever

You will find the instructions here http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=8326 a lot more accurate than a Haynes manual. :thumbup:

Thanks guys, I am in two minds whether I could do it myself, I could do it but would be pannicking about whether the chain skipped teeth if at wrong tdc or something :roll:
Just had a PM from someone here offering to help so if he is happy to help I will take him up on it and owe him a big one. Going to see if we can get together to change them, then it's just tyres to sort out and nothing's stopping me :thumbup:
