Spanish woman,

Thank you, Yessss, I have made 4000 km in this 5 months, and since I knew about the cct problem in the forums, I has been always thinking that the engine were going to explode.. pace of mind now. I noticed that the automatic cct keep the chain in the tense side, ( maybe 2 or 3 mm of flexing in both ...

Sometimes it's easier to drain the coolant and remove the LH side radiator- it's not much extra work, you can reuse the coolant, and access is so much easier. You can do it without taking the rad off, but it's fiddly. Work finished and tested. :thumbup: Working fine. You are wright.. I have changed...

I have started the CCT change this afternoon. I have changed the rear one, and learned how to do it thanks to the good access of the rear cylinder, tomorrow the front one.. Not too much room to do it !

Thanks for the reply.

I have been thinking about the 43 tooth sprocket also. Now I have a new DID standard kit, ( about 2000km) For the position of the wheel shaft i´m sure that the 43 tooth sprocket fits with the standard chain. ( to back). I´m not planing to go at 250km/h, and actually at 120km/h the engine sounds nice...

Thanks
