I am in Gloucester. I am not a mechanic or particularly good on the spanners. However I did manage mine and would be happy to lend moral support and encouragement. However the young man in Worcester is technical and practically streets ahead of me.
Oh and he can ride abit as well. 😃

Re: MCCTs

first time I have fitted a pair of Ade W's MCCTs, and they are a nice piece of work.

only comments are:
1) would be nice if the dome nut was locked to the screw with a roll pin rather than a lock nut, would look tidier and no risk of falling off
2) because they are so short, when doing the front CCT, getting a spanner onto the main locknut after setting is a right squeeze. best solution would be fitting an Ade one on the rear cyl where short is good, and the machined body is on display, and fit a modified std Bazza one on the front where the long body makes it easy to adjust.... and you cant see it.
3) although I already knew it was possible to fit & set MCCT's without taking the front cam cover off, we took it to a new level by also not being able to take off the center inspection cap... So we couldn't turn the engine over by the alternator nut to do the 1 and 1/4 turns from rear TDC to Front TDC. Yes it is possible to turn the engine from the rear wheel, but even in 6th with the plugs out, it is impossible to be smooth, and how many turns of the wheel is 1 and 1/4 engine revs?
Thankfully I have a spare engine under the bench, so with both its cam covers off, I could go from rear TCD, turn the crank by 1 and 1/4 turns and see what the cam position was on the rear cyl.... good news is it was a very obvious inlet cam at full lift. So then we go back to Daz350's bike and start turning the back wheel till the rear inlet cam is at full lift, then cross fingers and take out the CCT...... :thumbup: result.


Bazza, there will be 2 ACCT's being sent to you in the next few weeks
