[j90 vtr]

Hey every one
i was out riding yester day and all of a suddern a very loud rattaling occured on my bike.
i could hear it over my helmet and i was doing around 70mph i pulled over as soon as i could switched off and got it recovered home.
now it wont start at all, Help me please, as u all know im new to the site and i am also a new rider so im sorry if i seem a bit slow. could this be the cct failing as i have read so much or something else.

cheers joe

most probably yes you have imploded a CCT.

Do not try and start the bike. Time to get stripping to work out how much damage it has caused and the parts needed to fix - Try searching here for the possible extent of damage and remedies i.e manual CCTs

Sorry to hear about your problem Joe, it certainly does sound like one of the CCT's has failed.

Take a look at this link before starting to strip the bike down if you're going to be doing the job yourself:-

Wow. Another one? Really? What's that...about 10 or so in the last month? Glad I sorted mine when I did. Sorry to heare about this mate but there is lots of good advice on here as to what damage to look for and how to sort it.

That's 'cause it's the end of Spring.

joe,
as others have said, sounds like bad news on CCT's. there have been at least 2 of the guys who had this happen this year who got away without valve damage, but sadly they are the minority. as wicky said.....DONT TRY AND RESTART that is when the damage will occur, as the chain jumps when you stop the engine!

if the worst has happened, then you will have to have the cyl head removed [99.9%sure it will be front], and you will need to pay for 2 at least 2 new valves and a cyl head gasket.

it is a job many thought was beyond them, but with coaching from the forum members they were able to do it and get their bikes back on the road for minimal cost. key is to read the instructions and ask if not sure.

where are you based, one of us might be near and can help, or as with others we can offer phone support

First I thought this was a comment that the sudden spate of failures was because the bikes are all comming out after winter hibernation, but then knowing tony's love of word play, i fear it is the CCT spring that you are talking about as well............groan

Thats exactly what I was thinking too.

If I have to explain them, they're not funny.

thanks for all you input guys, but sadly the engine is royaly fecked all the valves are fecked on the front end one of them has actually snaped and put a hole in the piston so with tht sort of impact, i think im going to need a replacement engine.

any ideas where i can get a fair priced engine from?

thanksagaing for all your hel

joe

I think someone was selling 2 of them on the for sale section on here maybe? Didnt read it properly, and im too lazy to check now.

Sorry to hear about your engine though mate, sounds like a shitter, never heard of a valve going through a piston before

[Miztaziggy]

Oh wait, read the ad again, and it is 2 rear cylinder heads and one front, probably not what you need.

There are engines on ebay every so often, but be careful, I saw a post on here a few weeks ago about someone selling an engine with an obvious crack on the mounting points....I have no idea why, but someone said that it meant it was unusable so best to avoid it. Make sure you check out the engine in person before you buy.

[tony.mon]

Ideally check compression, even if the engine's out it'll still turn over on the starter motor if you connect a battery with jump leads, which will be enough to see if it's ok.
That way you'll know if it has damaged valves or pistons/rings.

I'd pay up to £300 for a proven good one with low mileage, if it's complete, local and undamaged, as you can then sell the clutch cover and get some money back, and possibly the alternator and cover as well.
Even better if it comes with a starter motor and carbs!

Later engines have the heads for a PAIR system on, which can be blanked off if you don't have this on yours.

You could rebuild your engine, with new mains and big end bearings, crank, rods, pistons, heads and head gaskets.
Even with second hand parts you'll spend more than £300.
But if you want to, I have crank, rods, pistons and rings for £50 plus carriage; all you'd need is another head, head gasket and the main and bottom end bearings, probably no more than£150 all in.
