Re: Misfiring / clanking, possible cam timing problems...
When you set the tension on the CCTs, did you set it to 7mm deflection or slack? EG from its middle position, was it 7mm or 3mm to it's maximum stretch?

Re: Bike comms....
I've got an auto com unit. Well worth the money. I can't recommend you any specific models as i've only used the one really but any will do most likely. They're not cheap though so you'd better be sitting down.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Today i moved it out the way so i could get a spare steering box out the garage for the land rover.

It's nice how they've gone to the effort of covering themselves in orange tan to fit in with the tango bike

Re: Vtr was running great a day later it's all gone wrong.
White smoke is normally coolant burning. Does it smell "sweet" (best way i can think of to describe it) when it runs or really fuelly?
Where abouts are you from? Maybe someone might be able to take a look for you?

Re: My firestorm won't start!!!
If oil smells like fuel, could be as simple as float bowls out of alignment? fuel leaks down and sits in the cly then down past the rings and to FREEDOM.
I own a ktm - ask me how i know about leaking fuel? ;)
