Oh, no, it looks like another new owner's been bitten by a failing CCT.

Best not start it until you've checked the front CCT- that's the usual culprit.

Have a look at the various CCT threads in Workshop, and shout if you need any help.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Make sure you don't follow the instructions in the Haynes manual for setting the timing as it has detrimental flaws in it. If you follow the instructions here http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=8326 you should have no problems. Have a read through and make sure everything is clear to you and if you have any questions or are confused then ask. :thumbup:
