Hi all, i just spent around 45 mins balancing my carbs using a carbtune balancer. WOW what a difference, it now pulls cleanly from 1200rpm right to the redline!! The engine also has a different tone now, it's low boom has returned. :twisted: Also there is very little popping on overrun. Everyone sho...

I found pro-bolt's aluminium bolts to be of poor quality, shearing very easily but their titanium stuff is SUPERB. Best get to your local tool hire place or similar for stainless items.

Only one thing wrong with that storm: It's not red!

Hi Leigh, Welcome aboard. You'll find us a good bunch to know, and between us there ain't much we don't know.
Enjoy your storm!!

Thanks for your help, Happy new year to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone tell me where the second vacuum take off point is?

Congrats on the promo Mellis! Which regiment are you?

I've heard that R1 mirrors will fit the storm for a better view of events behind, but is there a specific year or do they all fit? And is it a straight bolt on?
Cheers and Happy Christmas to all!!

Firestarter, when the same problem occured on my storm, i did all the electrical checks and it turned out to be the speed sensor that bolts into the rear engine casing, just near the shock. I would get on the phone to the breakers as these things are £106 each new!!!

Hi Mate, i have just been in contact with oxford regarding a faulty maximiser, and they could not have been more helpful, so i would ring them about the helmet, and i'm sure they'll accomadate you no probs.
The person i spoke to was Rosie Prior on 01993 862300 option 4.
Hope this helps.

Hi all, has anybody else run with DPR8 (varadero) plugs?
If so how are they, any issues?

There's something about that green though.........

Hi ratty, i am using dpr8 plugs at the moment, gives smoother running and better starting IMO.
