Pimp.... As good as I get

Post by Jvid »

All

I am totally useless when it comes to bikes and the poor wife has to put up with my mods. My abilities stretched to new levers and rim tape. Sometimes I'm just too good? :o

I do want some cans and probably need to get the cct looked at but I'll have to go and have a word with my mate for that. :beer:

It's not his bike. :lol:

Who does the cleaning then Jvid. :) It does look nice and clean. With regards to CCT's don't replace the original Honda autos with new ones. Either do the stop mod or replace with manuals. :thumbup:

Basically there is a design fault in the original Honda design. The spring inside is the week point and they can snap/break so fails. This causes the tensioner to loose it's tension to the point of the cam chain going slack enough for timing to go out and valves can hit the piston as it comes up. Not good :eek2 There is no warning and all one can do is take preventative measures in the form of a fail safe mod on the honda auto tensioners so if it fail it does no damage but will need replacing or go for full manuals and be done with it.

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

As for fitting manual see the guide in my signature.

Well, I've just done my MCCT's and the job went very smoothly according to cybercarls directions, very easy to follow, but I wont mention I forgot to refit an important vacuum pipe to the fuel tank :lol:
