I do notice from one of your photos the bike is running with the OEM CCT's (cam chain tensioners). These could be the stopper moded varient in that case all should be fine. If they are not or you are unable to verify, get them upgraded to manuals or the stopper mod asap. Please read the knowledge base on the CCT issue. there is also the reg rectifier issue with the older pre 2002 models or is it pre 2001, again it is all in the knowledge base. As you will find out these are to only 2 major issues this bike will suffer from if not addressed, once dealt with they are bullet proof, of course depending on riding style. lloydies drinks loads of oil but thats mainly due to spending half it life on one wheel :lol: :lol:

However, feel free to ask any questions & you will get answers pronto & dont send the bike to the local dealer until you ask on here first as invariably the advice here is far more accurate than even the local Honda dealer :plainsmile
thank you, i actually dont even know what a cam chain tensioner is never mind spotting it on a photo, i was told that the wrok was done to it.

i will defo be into the knowledge section over the next few days as i like my bikes to be clean and up to scratch

I don't noodle anything about it. :lol:

Cam Chain Tensioner (CCT) keeps the tension on the camchain. If this breaks and the camchain goes loose, it knocks your timing out which sends valves crashing towards the piston. :eek2
