My Storm was sat for a year before i bought it with fuel in the bowls and only ran once or twice in that time. I was wondering if you guys new of a decent product (unlike redex) to add to the fuel and flush through without the hassle of stripping the carbs. The bike stutters a bit at about 3000 - 40...

Either way any well ridden bike 600cc and over will really piss off 911, TVR, ferrari, aston martin and bentley drivers on the right road. they may be as quick but they ait getting away! :cool2 they can sit there in 100K cars but can still only go as quick as the fiesta in front! we can filter!! :th...
