I got one of the mechanics at work to do mine as I wasn'tconfident to do them. It took a couple of hours but a lot of that is prep work. If doing it yourself iinstructions rob send are spot on. Don't go by Haynes manual I had a locking key for old tensioners and we locked them in place before ...

Handy tool if you are taking out a rear wheel

Anyone used halfords own brand motorcycle oil for their storm or is it better sticking to brand names

yes not sure how to adjust tickover
previous owner had K&N filter fitted and dyno done so not sure if that issue either

Had Problem recently with my storm cutting out. power just dies, but can restart after a few seconds
mainly happens when slowing down at junctions or roundabouts
and have to grab clutch in and press engine start

Had new tyres put on my storm about a month ago
,just had to put another new rear on due to picking up a nail
so another £140 out of pocket

Its sad to see peoples property damaged like that must be heartbreaking
hope insurance people do the right thing by them and get things sorted quickly
my condolences got to the poor lads family who lost his life on his motorbike
must be a difficult time for them

When are we going to get some decent weather. just had storm mot,d passed no problem .had new tyres put on it recently bridgestone bto16 pro,s . changed oil , coolant etc but cant get out a decent run due to weather
we might get a couple of days sunshine sometime this year haha
