Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)

Difficult to say what the click is - have you a recording of it? If the MCCT is too tight it'll squeal - and if too loose it'll rattle even after warmed up - so likely nothing untoward. Important thing it that the lock nut is done up, and you've put something on the threads to help stop them unwind...

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)

I don't know what causes carb farts,but it sounds like a thump under the fuel tank.Nearly all Vtr's suffer from it.Mine used to do it before it warmed up properly. This is all making me feel better, I was starting to panic about my mccts, though I followed the instructions to a t and the engine sou...

What is that? 😂 the click sounds like a light switch being turned on. Only happens a couple of times over a few minutes so I turned her off.

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's)

Went out to warm it up again today and after 4-5min I heard a noticeable Click, it happened a few times ov...

Re: Best cans

I have GRmoto cans, look amazing, sound even better and have a removable muffler for those super loud days! Can get them brand new on eBay for a very decent price. Easy to fit as well. Well worth a look! (Also almost 10kg lighter then the originals!) Here’s the before and after sounds (a small speak...

Re: Hello - a new VTR rider

Just let her run for 10min to get to temp, oil level still perfect and I couldn’t see any leaks around the new mcct’s or the plastic covers and nothing dripping down. Sounds and runs great. Had a little light smoking just under the tank right of the carbs but that stopped and didn’t smell of anythin...

Re: Exhausts

So I’ve been away with work for a while and haven’t had time to get out much. I managed on Saturday for a ride and wow those pipes are epic! Even with the mufflers in they are loud and have a lovely tone to them. I also got the mini belly pan painted to match the rest of the bike - £40 well spent! I...

Re: Exhausts

Thanks posting and the comparison. No no probs, one of the things I like to search for is pics and vids on the bike, love to see what other people have done. I just spent the morning washing and polishing her up, the exhausts look perfect!! 477634DC-94B0-4705-9EC8-85B0C64321C1.jpeg 725AC302-6CD5-47...
