Geez just had my heart in my throat, putting the small 10mm bolt back on the side of the cam chain cover thingee and i dropped it :sad2 , was on a mission to find a touch to see if i could see it, it was on the front cylinder which might of been a bit of luck on my side, so i shined the torch down the cam chain couldn,t see it startin to panic a wee bit then just caught a glimpse of it sitting on a small ledge about half way down, dam i said but still had nothing to retrieve it so had so shoot down to the local auto shop and buy one of those magnet pens, got home torch in hand magnet in other slowly does it and and yes got it :Rock:

Lucky you wernt retrieving that from the sump :eek2 Shove a bit of rag down there first if removing it again for any reason. Better to be safe than sorry.

Good work :clap: :clap: You should be fine now until you next valve adjustment where it's likely the tensioners will be loosened off anyway, so make that your re-adjustment time. Good to hear you used some threadlock, it's the rear tensioner that can weep oil slightly if not used. So just keep an eye on that otherwise get out there, ride it and enjoy. Note the engine will have a different tone to it with MCCT's, a slight rattle when cold is normal and should dissipate as it warms up to full working temp. :thumbup:

Just wanting to know, when i put my bike bike together from doing the CCt's i noticed that i am only using one throttle cable, is that alright or should i have two there, it has the second outer there for it? :confused

Originally the bike has two, although some people remove the return throttle cable for a lighter, snappier throttle.

Did it to mine with lloydie, huge difference
