Good point JB.

How is it you can be caught without tax, MOT and insurance and have a £400 fine and yet be 5 mins over a parking duration and get over a quarter of the fine!!!

But I suppose that's the price of Capitalism!!!??

ok, will do. cheers for the hint. filling up tomorrow so will ignore the Redex!
Is it really that lethal in small doses??

Blimey!

How is it that removing and replacing the choke cable is so involved! Haynes says...
Remove seat
Remove fuel tank
Remove Carbs
Remove/Drain coolant

just for an itty-bitty cable...... Any workarounds??

That's a relief StratMan.
Cheers for that. I'm always worried when I see vehicles not staying at a regular temperature. Takes a small weight off my mind!

Will look at the choke tomorrow evening. Why is it that I just get comfy under the bike and the heavens open? Is it Sod's law at work???

oo.. cheers for the Choke idea, might explain the colour of the spark plug too.
Ok, will investigate..

ok, decided it's definately popping and not dugga-dugga-ing, therefore only running on one cylinder. Sometimes comes in but in 3rd it runs out of puff at 70. I only6 get 60 odd miles out of a tank too. Give away huh?? The temperate doesn't ever get above quarter so not up to tempertature Done an oil...

Cheers guys.

Thought i might have been worrying over (nearly) nothing. Being only used to a 125 and 500, the accel from the Storm is incredible so it can't be that ill! looking forward to her being 100%...

Thanks again...

A biker chap a few doors down with a triple thinks the Storm sounded today like it was running on one cylinder as i pulled off the drive. Now i'm Satan for saying this but as a new owner i'm not 100% sure of the correct sound. I does sometimes sound different if that makes sense? At 2500+ revs it so...

Hi mate..

Somethings happened when you copied and pasted the links. If you copy the above lines into a browser window WITHOUT the [IMG] placeholders it works.
I know, i saw the Bleeding COOL SP1.

Well done BTW!

Info on St. Cecilias... http://st-ceciliarla.org.uk/html/june_05.html Although connected to St. Cecilias CHURCH in Liverpool the full article mentions S&M Properties... there's a link there DEFFO, but again files in 2005. Sounds like a bankrupcy case gone bad! Hope that helps SK.. Good luck mate...

I wonder what would happen if not a single biker EVER renewed their road tax! Total legal licences and fully insured... just not prepared to give the Shovernment a penny??? Think Gordy might get the message??

Hi Mick, Well i'm the opposite. Passed my test only 30odd days ago and went from a 125 to a 1000 and its a real kitten.... And then you turn the key!!! Seriously, i'm just getting used to mine - had her two days now and she's a little worse than yours, but still a great ride. Gently does it is the k...

Isn't being an OLD B***ard great! I've just got my Red Storm and have been licenced for a mere 30 days... Been driving for 17 years though. Only had a 125 until now... (saving for the big day!) AND I'M 35! To you mate... £280 tpft. That's garaged, with 6 points on the old pleasure passport and incl...

cool, will put it on the list of "what to get next"
new lid,
service + CCTs
right side fairing

got a grand anyone?

I think Timbo was trying to tell me the part he was looking for was £40 and not the fairings. You're right - they seem to be about £160 each side.
Sound about right?
