Re: CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) Fail Safe Mod. (aka Stopper Mo

just a comment for those following incase they can see a potential shortcut and do theirs at 11mm.........depending on your engine the stopper length is going to vary, I have seen them as small as 8mm long and as lond as 12, so dont think 1 size fits all. You have to measure each one and make the s...

thanks

Re: what have you done to your

Very natural for vipers to sit like that even with storm link pipes . But for some reason not the oval vipers just the round ones cool, I have a pair of carbon lasers from my ex-trx850 I want to try first (would require adaptation) but they are a bit small so I think I'll go with the vipers. thanks...
