righto, thats number two CCT gone on the VTR so I thought I'd best post something to add to the statistics. After a scoot down to Welly and back I had the lovely warming rattle around the 2500-3000rpm mark.
Sounded different to the front CCT loosening off, which gave an intermittent rattle where the rear one was more a constant jingle, so while waiting for the new CCT to arrive I just kept the revs above 3k so that I didnt cry.
Pretty much figured now that if the rattle only comes in when the bikes warm (and the oil pressure drops), and its around the 2-3k mark in revs then its CCT time.
The next rattle I get from them two CCT's will see the introduction of a pair of APE manual tensioners to sort out the issue once and for all.
At least the rear cct was a piece of piss in comparison to the front.
