VTR1000.ORG

Hi Guys,

About to become the owner of a nice 1997 VTR at the weekend. It's been looked after very well by previous owners, but has the CCT issue currently so I have got it for a good price. I'm sure this site will become very useful once I get her home and start to have a proper look.

Cheers,

Bert

Hi, welcome to the form.if you need any help with manual ccts,just give me a shout.cheers Ade.

Welcome to the madhouse. Hope it's a red one............ Everyone round here knows it's the fastest colour

Hello and welcome to the forum Is it the black one on ebay that the the owner says could be big ends ?

When you say it has the CCT issue do you mean it has a rattle, failed or simply needs changing. And to make things more clear Ade;s comment means he sells MCCT's. I don't think that is an offer to comes around and help fit them but I could be wrong

No it was on eBay though but has a customer paint job in Repsol colours, current owner stated he was doing approx. 50mph and he heard a lot of top end noise. Now when turning the engine over he stated that you can hear what sounds like the valves train.

Sorry it's not red, but I am sure it you would still approve.

I haven't heard the engine, but can only tell you what the current owner told me as I post above. Once I get it home, I will have a good look around and investigate further. That is a shame that Ade won't come and fix it for me .

Thanks all

As far as...''That is a shame that Ade won't come and fix it for me ...''

He's only after your cash to sell you a set of manual CCT's...All the info he can give you is already up on this site in the 'workshop knowledge ' section...It's where he got it from...
