I was hoping for a reply in the sticky but so far nothing and I need this sorted so I can get to school tomorrow.

Ive installed the CCT and tightened the bolt by hand until I felt resistance, turned it a further 1/4 and fired the bike up. Sounding really smooth for once but I thought it was too smooth. So I started unscrewing the bolt while the engines running and Im reving to 3-4k gently trying to hear the rattle. I managed to get a full -720* on the nut and I still hear no rattling.

Should I keep going or leave it as is?

EDIT: I got bored and kept unscrewing I heard a hint of a rattle, turned it 180 and tightened the nut at the base of the threads. I dont have time to wait about lol I hope it does the job!

 

haha i have to say that is the first tim ive heard somebody worried because their bike is running too smooth. I would say that if you installed it properly let it ride and see how it goes. how bad was it before?

is your bike warmed up in the after clip? it sounds funny, like it has really big cams in it.

 

Yeah I left her to heat up for a good 10-15 minutes before I shot that vid. I dont know what sorta life this bike led before It arrived in my hands.

Judging by the condition of the stock exhaust it probably had a fair stint with a aftermarket can on it. It has a k&n filter which it had when I bought it. Havent had the carbs out to check if its got bigger jets yet but its on my list of things to do. I dont think I want to go near the top end of the engine and even If I did I wouldnt know what to look for!

Bike goes like a watch, runs great.

I havent had the bike out on the road to test it as its baltic here! Tomorrow is the big day and Im a touch nervous about it.
