If the cam chain rattle clears after say 3K revs - you could remove the drift in the auto tensioner and file the nose off it allowing it to slide a few 'mm' more If it is rattly all the way through, then for a quick fix - file the drift and also place a 2mm ball bearing at the head of the 1st tensioner spring. This will increase the pressure applied to the trailing blade and shut it up for a while!

Restriction. How about shimming your carb tops and stopping the throttle valves from fully opening? Once you get it about 3/4 opening get the bike dynoyed to show it has restricted power - sorted!!

Insurance. Difficult one !! Get third party only just now and build your discount up.

Tax. Think you can still declare the bike as not being used on a public roads but will be parked on a public thourghway so need it to be taxed. You have to apply directly to the Tax office.

restriction : i can get some restriction plate easy but it's the certificate you need for the insurance dont you ?

I thought a Dyno print out was sufficient - photocopy and send original to your insurers ??? Just make sure your name address and bike reg are on the print out.

Oh, also get the Dyno operator to cetify that the print out is true and correct to the date of the run.

mine haven't asked for any proof of restriction.

Oh and I've just thrown a whole mudguard out with those bits still on it
Bins gone now aswell

no i dont really want to make the bike like that i want to be proud of what i've acheived is there a cam chain and tensioner kit ya can buy ?

i think i'll ring an insurance company up tomorrow then again there hopeless and probably wont be abewl to help anyways still worth a try it could save me alot of money.

Right then the bike passed the MOT very nicely no problems at all and i have reapaired the rattleing problem it was the cam chain tensioner, took it out give it a good clean up and pulled it up 2 clicks put it back in and job a good one bike sounds brilliant now just the sound of pure zxr 400 POWER !
all i want now to finish it off is a front mudguard fork protectors.

Nice One!

Happy for you mate, you've come such a long way with it you deserve a result

Does anyone know if the H model front mudguard is the same as a L model ?

To further that post, im sure the fixing points are the same as the fork bottom seem to be the same on the L and H.
