Shame I will miss this as I am working overseas at the mo. How often do these happen? Just ordered CCT's from ROAS, and need someone to advise/help on fitting. the bike is still on automatic tensioners, but has quite a backfire on the over run, and I am a bit concerned that maybe the timing is already out.

They backfire for a number of reasons, mine was doing it becuase of a leak at one of the exhaust joins, or running rich or lean.

I swear mine backfires in the shed even when not switch on.

We also have two bikes being fitted with manual CCT's, and both needing valve clearances checked.
So lots to watch and hopefully learn from.

See you Sat!
