CCT's

[leevtr]

New bloke here. Am planning on changing my cct's for manuals asap. I know someone here makes them, Bazza I do believe ??
I'm watching a set on ebay at the mo, which do look good quality items, but if someone here can supply the same things, I'd rather give them the cash, keep it in the family so to speak.
I'll avoid the buy it now button till I hear more

If you want a set I have just made a batch fella, pm if your interested and I will give you the low down.

Question!!

Just read the relevant page in my Haynes manual about removal/replacement of CCT's, and it doesn't say you need to remove cam covers/ find tdc etc. Whats the crack ?

Don't use the Haynes use the manual in the workshop knowledge base section as the Haynes is wrong

Lee, I have a set of Bazza's fitted they are highly recommended.

Get in touch with him & get a set sorted out ASAP....Do not follow the Haynes manual it has errors in the procedure!!!

Follow the guide in the Workshop Knowledge base & don't be afraid to ask questions.

Not too far away, I suppose about 40 mins at a guess. Sounds like a job that requires more than a couple of ring spanners, and not sure that i'd want to be carting all the required tools with me on the bike. Would still be interested in attending, just to get the heads up. Is it april 7 ??

Oh, and hello Lumpy !!

[MacV2]

Yes Lee it's the 7th April....see below

No worries with fitting these on the day, but you'll need to have them available.
Don't leave it to the last minute; they're always in short supply.

Lastly loosen off the centre (larger) inspection cap on the alternator cover- it gets stuck pretty often.
At least if you do it beforehand you can have a spare one to hand if necessary.

Think I'm gonna do them this weekend, time permitting. While I'm at it going to balance the carbs, new oil, plugs and filters, treat the old girl.

Wish me luch with the cct's, never done them before.

Lee,

If you are going to do them this weekend make sure you follow this link below for setting up the valve timing The link below is for removing and refitting standard CCT's, but the valve timing settings are exactly the same for fitting standard or manual CCT's. Good luck with it,

I already took the liberty of printing your very detailed and easy to understand instructions mate.

Thanks for the heads up though, will let you know how it goes.
