If they are, they could be too tight.

Ok you would have had problems before then if they where overtightened.I have had manual CCT fitted for over a year and never had any problems
If you do the ccts up finger tight, the chain will be as tight as a drum. ( well mine was anyway ). I wouldn't even attempt to set the slack without taking off the rear cam cover, so I could actually see the play in the chain between the sprockets.Wicky wrote:If they are set too tight then they'll 'screech' when starting - If too loose they'll rattle - so somewhere quieter in between. With the timing correctly set for front cyl/ rear cyl as when you installed them following the Workshop forum guide - Fingertight and backout 1/8- 1/4 turn.
Agree. There is too much room for error with finger tight as everyone finger tight is different and some don't have a good feel for it. Especially if talking about the rear, just remove the cam cover and chain guide and measure precisely to about 7mm up and down movement from between the two cam sprockets as if your measuring your drive chain.
