Hi all weather here in Western Australia at the present is pretty good,although its going to be down to 2 degrees o/nite,which is def electric blanket weather.For us anyway.Much prefer winter riding over here as we dont get days and days of pouring rain.In between rain periods it can be really pleas...

Hi mate, Not quite sure what you mean by flipup screen but have a look at the screen on mine.Its in page 17 of the photo gallery under misc heading. It is a great screen and works well,looks good to, without being over the top so to speak.Sorry you will see it under the title of Phils blue vtr.Photo...

For attention firestorm al Philm here from perth western australia al. for some reason I cannot log onto the vtr site from my computer at home,but I can from work! Any ideas? I know there was a hitch logging on a couple of weeks ago,but then the site came good.But for the last few nites I have been ...

Yea what a great finish to the first race,I think Gibenau rode a good race,but it was a certainty that Rossi was going to ping him on the final couple of laps.Was a bit taken aback at first but then thinking about it is a race to the finish and basically I think Rossi was within the bounds of energe...

Hi Del Thanks for replying,I have just been out to the garage and started the bike,let it warm up,but no, the noise doesnt go away when you engage the clutch and or snick it into gear.It appears to be throttle related because as you increase the revs from idle ,the noise gets louder! Its not so much...

: This ones for Del if he can offer any help? I have had my 2003 model vtr for approx 10 months bought from new and its done nearly 8000klms approx 5000mls in the old language.Apart from the ccts not even lasting on my delivery ride home[replaced a couple of days later] the bike has had a rather lou...

Nah DD I dont mind you using my pics
Glad to hear you didnt have to stuff around with your indicators when fitting them,maybe the maker has woken up and made the right ones for the vtr??They do look a lot better than the ome ones,dont you think?
Regards Philm
P.s DD emailing you soon....

Gday Darryl,Proudest Monkey and Ptechnix From personal experience unfortunately you wont get a ventura rack on with the hi-rise staintunes.You will if the cans are round[earlier versions]or the 'tunes are the lower mount ones.However with the latest oval staintunes,there is just not enough room betw...

:( tradedog,bad luck there.but not too much drama by the sound of it. regarding the slight scuffing on the fairing you could try a product called Finesse-it 2 a finishing material made by 3M.I have used this in the past for a good result providing you dont overdo the rubbing bit.The product is not c...

yo chromedome Welcome to this site.I have the hi-level staintunes fitted to my 'storm, They can be a bit tricky to fit! If you have any problems,post on this site and I'll see if I can help you out.If you want to see how they look fitted, check out the misc.section in the photo gallery.Its there und...

Hi firerider ref your query on what seat for the 'storm,I am on my second firestorm now and I can recommend the Corbin seat,especially for longer distance rides.I virtually put a new Corbin seat on my first 'storm when I had it from new and found that i could just about keep riding all day without a...

Doing anything to your rego plate doesnt really work,as the cops will always catch you with it in situ.at some time or another.I had a diffuser type plastic sheet on my car plate and the cops noticed it from the other side of a dual carriageway and going in the opposite direction.They did a screamin...

CaperJ i have had the experience of both bikes in the last 9 months or so. I bought a new vtr 1000 in 1997[red of course]and i kept this bike for 5 years.Had all the usual after market stuff on it i.e. staintune pipes,corbin seat, dark tint screen,lower fairing, carbon bits and pieces etc. I really ...
