Thanks mate! Pictures will follow this weekend, I am picking the bike up tomorrow.

 

Mattson, here she is .

 

Nah she aint... All i see is a blue questionmark...

 

Damn Instagram. Can't you click it? It works for me.

 

Okay, fixed it.

 

Was browsing with my phone, didn`t do anything to "click" it. Works now!

 

Haven`t had the time to actually swap the CCT yet, but since it has been raining a lot the past days here I took the bike to the garage to dry and out of interest removed the right hand service panel (or whatever it`s called)

The CCT is right here:

 

Thanks. I had seen it before, just wanted to see the procedure, how you adjust the pistons to TDC and such . Too lazy to try it myself. Besides, my new KTM has turned into another money pit as making it street legal in Sweden wasn't as easy as I thought...

 

As far as I know it`s bolt off, bolt on, no need to find the TDC cause it won`t change the timing...

 

Changed the CCT today, took me all of 30 minutes. I`ve changed harder light bulbs on several different cars...



Take off the right side service hatch and the right side tail fairing (I had to take the whole tail off cause it`s a one-partš...



Take out the three bolts holding the back end of the side fairing, and the one under the front blinker. It would be a good idea to take the whole fairing off, I didn`t bother, it can be done that way but you have to be careful not to bend the fairing too far out



Notice that the middle one of the three bolts holding the fairing is longer than the other two.



Right, here is the CCT, take off the two bolts holding the clutch cable leg, no need to touch the adjustment. You also can take out the engine bracket if you don`t have fiddly fingers but it`s not necessary.



take out the two bolts holding the CCT, take the top one off first so the bottom one will hold the cct in place and you have that extra 1cm to do it. Notice which way the metal gasket is, there are two rivets on it that have a high side and a flat side, remember which way is up. The spring will push the tensioner out a bit and you will have to push the new one in whilst spinning the first bolt in. I noticed a significant difference in the behavior of the new and old ones, like there would be a gathering of crud inside the old one preventing it from working properly.

Repeat in reverse, go for a pint.

When you first start the bike, for a second it will sound like a tank clattering away on a pebble road but right when you give it a few revs and the oil reaches the cct it should go away.

When you tighten the CCT in place don`t use mad force, I didn`t and I still felt like I spun the upper threads a bit...
