Hi everyone....

Got my '98 Firestorm on monday night (fancied one for ages) and love riding it to bits.
The sad bit is that on Wednesday night it decided to do the Honda camchain tensioner thing
Pulling away from traffic lights at a steady pace there came a terrible clanking sound. The motor ran fine , just with this regular clanking like someone hitting the engine with a steel hammer.
Just hoping that it is just the tensioner gone (ordered some manual ones from US) and that there is no further damage. But knowing my luck there will be.
Can't wait to get it back... It's rekindled my love of biking after trudging around on an XJR1200.
It is presently residing in our bike club clubhouse shop awaiting diagnosis.

sorry to hear that mate

hope you did,nt run it too long after it went ..

fingers crossed you got away with it . I did when mine went

welcome to the forum buddy, sorry to hear about your cct's, it happens alot at this time of year, fingers crossed you've been lucky. whats your location, maybe theres a fellow member nearby who could lend a hand....

I'm in Wrexham N.Wales but the bike is in Connahs Quay.
Luckily it happened about a quarter of a mile from the clubhouse (which is also a bike repair shop )
Just having a nice glass of cider to calm my concerns Thanks for the welcomes btw.

Sorry to hear about your bike mate, hope you get it sorted soon. Welcome to the club.

Oh that's not good. Have a good read through the workshop knowlagebase on setting the timing. If it's only jumped three teeth then there's a good chance you have got away with it. At worst it's likely that you have bent a couple of valves.

That's real bad luck mate . Recently got my first storm and love it but she's going nowhere till my manual Cct's arrive, even though my mates think I am being anal! Welcome to the site and good luck with the bike .

Dont worry I am sure it will soon be fixed these things happen good luck with the rebuild and welcome to the forum

Hello and welcome . Ccts :shock:
Good luck with the rebuild

welcome to the forum and hope it turns out good, the bike and the weather

Welcome to the club, sorry that you hit the CCT so soon. Hope the valves are ok, checking the clearances will tell you if there is a problem

Welcome aboard buddy

Fingers crossed

That finger could be misinterpreted.

These stupid bloody emotions are still popping up all over the place like meerkats.
