The only thing is I an hearing a squeek. Almost sounds like a bird chirping. Tried backing off the cct's a wee bit to see if it made any difference. Nope it didnt, any ideas??

As the others have said, usually a chirp or squeak whatever you want to call it means one or both CCT's are too tight.

I've spent a total of 10 hours timing up my engine to no effect, the FE and FI marks are always a tooth out, so i dont know what to do.
If your bike has done a few thousand miles then the cam chains will have stretched a little and that's why the FE and FI marks don't line up exactly. Also make sure the FT mark on the alternator is spot-on, as that will make it look out more than it really is.
