I like that video, very interesting. I was waiting to see the 3D printer printing and it didn't happen :lol:

On your panels, I think some Black coachlines around the outside of the White text and stuff will be an Improvement. It should blend it in more rather than looking like it's just been stuck on top. :thumbup:


CCT's always make sure your on the compression stroke for whichever cylinder your working on. I suggest you start with the rear. Have a read of these two thread with regards to cam timing marks and cam positions http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... cam+timing and another useful one http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... +alignment

When it comes to you getting the adjustment on the CCT's, rather than using feel, I would remove both the rear and front cam covers. Measure more accurately the chain between the two cam sprockets and double check cam positions. It should be 9mm deflection up and down from centre to centre of the chain link. Hope that makes sense! You will have to remove the cam guides to access the centre between the cam sprockets. I think it's held by two 10mm bolts or something. Stick plenty of rags in the gaps in the engine either side of the cam sprockets when undoing anything there. You REALLY DON'T wont to drop anything down inside the engine casings. :eek2 Just take your time and if you get stuck or are unsure, you have my number.

Silicone or threadlock goes on the main tensioner thread along the length before tightening up. This then seals the gap between the thread where it screws through. It is for two reasons 1st it stops any slight oil leakage that may work it's way through the thread, and 2nd and more importantly, gives the thread some grip as a preventative measure against it working loose with vibrations. :thumbup:

Don't forget either new paper gaskets or some gasket seal where the CCT attaches to the casing. I just used a bit of gasket seal on mine so there was no need to scrape all the old paper gasket off :wink:
