Draining fuel tank
Hi guys. I need to drain the fuel tank but don't want to syphon from the filler cap. I'm assuming I can drain via the petcock but have no idea how to do it. Any help appreciated

Belly pan bolt
I’ve removed the original belly pan on my ‘97 Storm for painting. The nearside bolt is ill fitting and obviously not the original. Could anyone tell me the correct size bolt? Cheers

Re: Exhaust fitting trouble
Thanks MacV. I've spent so long on it now I'm going to start all over again and do as you advise. It came off so I'm guessing it must go on

Exhaust fitting trouble
Am I doing something wrong? I took the system off the bike to clean it up and can I hell get it back on! I can get the pipes on and one silencer. The other silencer is a mile off. I'm spending hours and getting nowhere. Is there a secret method to getting them back together?

Re: Poor handling
The front end on my Storm is exactly how you describe. I'm doing quite a bit of work on the bike over the winter, so before it's back on the road next year I'll have replaced the tyres, wheel bearings and head bearings. Hoping for better feel from the front

Re: Which fork oil is best?
I'm going to change my fork oil and I'm going to use a SAE 10w oil. Is it just a case of purely replacing the oil or is there anything else I should be considering? It's for road use only.

Re: Hi all. New member.
Been busy with the bike lately. I've overhauled the rear brake calliper, replaced the brake fluid and fitted a braided hose. Got fronts to do. Got my exhaust system off for a tidy and I've set too polishing my rear wheel rims. General cleaning and lubricating is constant and I'm planning for MCCT fi...

Re: Cam/valve cover gaskets
I've got some MCCT's to fit to my '97 Storm. Thought it would need new gaskets. Not doing the job immediately but looking at what I'm going to need over the winter months.
