Hi Essexbloke. Yes you will find a difference fitting the 190. I haven't done it on the storm but I have on other bikes. I doubt there will be much difference between bikes as all the one's I've tried it on it had the same affect. The larger cross section will slightly slow your flickability from si...

ouch
Thanks Sproutout. I can remember all those things and a few more. Wouldn't ever agree to being old though. I just like to think of myself as "having lived a little".
Cheers Pete.l

Cool

But I don't agree with these "Crotch Rockets" (Have I got One of them?) being 20 yrs old.(and if I do have one ,What would I do with it).

Pete.l

Glad you said that Sproutout.
I always thought you were a bloke and then when I saw the photo I started to think....Hmmm Sprout obviously In.
Anyway you've managed to get Swansea on the map.and what geourgous scenery it has.

Hi DD, Yes you will find a difference as you wind up the spring preload the suspention will start to feel harder.I'm 12 stone and my rear spring is set on the third from softest notch and the rebound is set about 1/8 of a turn clockwisefrom std. My front is showing 3 1/2 rings and as the weather is ...

Detatch the hoses from the carbs and you only loose about an egg cup. Make sure the engines cold so the fluid does n't spurt everywhere and thats the only concern.(Granny suck eggs and all that)

Yep. It's Official. I was just reading an artical this weeked and Mr Honda said that with modern engineering bikes are ready from the crate to be run in at up to 80% of their Rpm and doing so normally leaves the bike more responsive and quicker revving. They also went on to say yhat the only way to ...

How about popping a Factory ignition advancer in whilst the covers off

Pete.l

It's Obviously a duffer

Give me £50 and I'll take it off your Hands

Oh Granty you old worry wart.
Done 25k on mine in the last couple of years and other than normal servicing all Ive had to do was replace the front cct at around 19k cause it was starting to rattle and I didn't want to risk it

Hi Twintin. Have you had that 16000 mile service you talked about last month done yet? If you have, return and have a good moan :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: If not you could be looking at anything as easy as old plugs.or poor carb ballance, or something a little more time consuming like checking an...

My box is brown. What men have you been seeing to make yours yella

Hi Pstormer I had always used them on my old Rf 900 and they worked really great. Better than the dunlops the bike came with as they didn't tend to go off as the tread got low and the profile started to dissapear. When I traded the old girl in and picked up the Storm it came fitted with Bridgestones...

Hi Chugnut
I've got the Laser Duo Tech pipes on order at the moment. Hopefully they will arrrive soon. I,m only down the road in Bristol So if you want to get together for a spin and compare bits I'm always up for a ride
Pete.l

Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Ar'nt you having fun......NOOOOT! Don't worry about the hole Granty. They all have them. It allows you to stick a long screwdriver through to reach the carb mounting rubbers. As for the the choke it has a type of locking adjustment on it to stop it from sliding back in.Your's is prob...
