Un- familiar noise...NOT CCTS....

[tony.mon]

If it's only running on host be it feels like a 250 single- you'd notice for sure.
Ask them what they mean.

Ok so they have sorted the tensioner out it wasn’t tightened right?? Not sure what they mean by that but it’s sorted.

They want another 3 hours investigation @ £78 per hour to see why it’s running on one cylinder. They said it’s rideable and I can pick it up and re book it in for another day as they haven’t got space to store it etc. Will see what they mean by running on one cylinder when I pick it up tomorrow.

My plan is to make a list of things that could cause they cylinder problem and work my way through it myself eliminating as I go so when I get it sent back in I can say it’s not these etc.

Any help creating said list would be muchly appreciated

I wrote earlier....

As for running on one pot - could be spark plug / loose plug cap / ht lead /coil / fuel tap diaphragm / dodgy vacuum hose. Just a case of working through possible causes from simple to more complex. Hopefully not a timing jump due to possibly MCCT issue.

You'll need to lift the tank for some of those jobs so familiarise yourself with hose positions > viewtopic.php?f=31&t=42689

Thanks wicky going to start having a look tomorrow soon as I pick it up, saves me from going shopping with the misses and kids. Lol

I'm with Wicky on this one.

Speaking from experience, little to be fair, it should be very obvious if it is only running on one.
Get on it and give it a blast if it performs as it should job done

Is the chain tensioned correctly?
I have a custom audible alarm installed on my VTR that emits a sound much like you describe when my chain is even slightly on the loose side.......the chain contacts the exhaust pipe...

[DavoVTR1000]

It’s not the chain I checked that. Will see how it rides tomorrow when I pick it up but it certainly wasn’t running on 1 cylinder when I dropped it off.

The loss of power would certainly be noticed if it was only firing on one cylinder.A simple test would be to feel the front and back exhaust downpipes

Picked the bike up this morning. It’s not running on one cylinder but they said there is a noise in the front cylinder. Rode fine on the way home, pulled strong and even lifted the front wheel in 2nd on a very spirited take off from a green light starting line. Going to have a play around and see what’s going on before paying the £80 an hour they want to do more investigation. Pops and bangs a lot on deceleration.

Air leak in the exhaust at a join somewhere...Check all the clamps are tight...One of mine on Custurd rotted away at the rear header...Found it rattling around futher down the pipe...New clamp sorted it out & managed to fit the new one by opening up the clamp fully. Saved dropping the whole system but you would have to do that if the graphite gasket is fubar...

[DavoVTR1000]

Thanks Mac will start there.
