Hows it going, purchased my first firestorm 2 weeks ago, my dad had 1 and loved it and when a red 97 firestorm with only 13000 miles and twin remus cans appeared on gumtree I had to follow in the old mans footsteps,I couldnt be happier with the bike, she needs a bit of tlc but im a fussy sod tbh so she will be out of the box mint in the coming months, the sound and the torque is awesome, when she pops it makes me smile everytime, lol, I met another member today (complete stranger)who recommended the site, he seen me on the bike and stopped for a chat and a nosey, very friendly and helpful, made my day,pointed me in the right direction regarding ccts etc, so just popping in to say hi and i look forward to using the site

Welcome to the forum. You will find plenty of info on CCT's.
Oh here you go I give you some links.
CCT's can go at any time, it's a gamble!
Some links regarding the Cam Chain Tensioners (CCT's)
You can either go for the stop mod
http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 31&t=19416
Which is the Honda auto CCT's that are converted to a fail safe. So when it does fail, it don't send the valves crashing.
Or
You go for the full manual conversion, your options are here
