Hi Chris

I pop in quite often for a nosey, to make sure I'm keeping up with my modifications
Its good the forum is still as strong as ever

I've had my storm just over ten years now, I changed my CCT's for manual ones over 9 years ago (APE's), I have done 30K+ miles since I changed them. I guess they have needed to be tweeked maybe twice in that time. If I bought another storm, it would be the second mod I would do after an R1 reg/rec. ...

I had an iridium airblade but it shattered when i was knocked off, got a zero gravity dark double bubble now it fits much better than the air blade.

Sorry to see your pickys, glad you are OK

Hi I've had manual CCT's for about 30,000 miles and I tend to adjust them about every 8-10,000 miles this tends to be about every 12mths or so. Without stripping the cam covers off it really can only be done by sound and feel. I have had my storm approx 5 yrs and its cam chain sounds are quite famil...

When I was reading up on manual tensioners a few years ago, the Kawasaki mob were having problems way beyond that which afflicts the firestorm. It was reading their experiences with APE's that made me fit them. I've done about 25,000 miles since and have had no problems.
