Is there anyone who has experienced similar problem? I don't know whether the noise comes from the transmission/clutch or from cylinder.

How can I troubleshoot>?

Good day dear all! Some of you remember me, because of some issues, of my bike. Well, after some serious lessons I managed to fix my beauty. Also put 2 new exhausts (handmade Greek :beer: I'm starting to rebuilt my front, (ohlins springs) and the rear shock rebuilt. But one problem remain: ---When I...

Good afternoon! Well, it is a resurrection after all! I got a call from my mechanic saying that I'm very lucky not bending valves or doing other damage! The chain jumped only two teeth! He got compression ad was OK!(cylinder compr) The bike is ready for ride, I'm gonna pick her up when I finish work...

I admit it was my stupidity I took a risk and I lost. But I think there might be a good chance I didnt bent valves. The bike was working but not correctly. Maybe Its the last time I put hand in her. The last time it was totally unlucky. I did it all correct, according to the manual, your info (forum...

Thank you Wicky for your answer!
So might get lucky and if that is what she needs so its gonna cost 50-70 euros. I wish this is the case!!

It is my first motorcycle, with my money only. I started working on June and raised some money to buy this VTR and it hurts!!

I've red the manual and the guides to do it. But I admit it was my fault as I told the guy in the garage to fit the new CCT in front cylinder and the rattling noise continued, so I decided to change the rear CCT as well. So I felt confident doing it without turning the crankshaft to the Rear top Dea...

Well as you can guess I have problem with my vtr. THIs is the sad and very unlucky story of me and my beauty. As I wrote previously on the forum, I needed a chang of my CCT. OK I said, I've red the manual and ordered a new OEM CCT. When I opened the cover to check the timing I waned to remove the ch...

Good day everyone! I'll check the timing as I'll change the CCT. I must say that I'm afraid a little but it'll be an interesting work. W/o your help and the help of manuals it'd be difficult as heck! So cheers everybody and wish me luck for Saturday's works! :wave: :beer: Work List for Sat 26/10/201...

I hope this is the case! I'll find out what's going on generally when I'll replace the CCT. 1 week ago I've changed spark plugs ans oil+oil filter and I replaced the old (ngk dpr8evx9) with new (ngk dpr8eivx9- iridium). Is it OK for firestorm to run these spark plugs? The dpr9evx9 are hard to find a...

I dont push the bike.. and the noise isn't loud. But the i'm certain it's the CCT. Due working hours daily, I cant fix it, except this Saturday! Because Ii'll do some mods on my carb and check valve clearance and timing i'll do that at Sat. I ordered one Honda OEM CCT. We don't have manual CCT in Gr...

Is it a problem??

Hey, good day! At Saturday I did some works on my VTR! I've changed spark plugs, (put dpr8eivx-9, not an issue huh?), oil (Motul 5100 10w40) and champion oil filter! When I started the engine with the new oils in it, the noise got worse, the common CCT noise! This rattling noise that only stops when...

Guys I have EXACTLY the SAME noise!!!

Have any ideas? I believe it is something on the valves or the little chain at clutch.

I have to check, if the camshafts position (readings on camshaft sprockets) comply with the the crankshaft position (readings on the little window located at the alternator cover).

All that to check if the bike had been timed wrong 180' off. I hope not!!

Well,

Must I replace the head gaskets if I open the cylinder heads?
