What colour are they ... they look the same as the wheels .... that was called light pearl or something. It's silvery with a goldish hue .... that's a nice word .... hue :) Whatever, I want a ...

Re: S'gotta go for a check up
CCT's and drive train all new. I suspect it's a bit of clutch and the pump chains. Bikes done 25K so there's bound to be signs of wear wouldn't you think? ... I'm just a bit paranoid.

S'gotta go for a check up
I've now put about 300 miles on the bike in four trips. I've noticed a lot of clattery noise coming from the motor. I can't put my finger on it. Doesn't really sound like ends ... I really notice it when splitting traffic, which is most of the time, the sound gets reflected back at you. I spend the ...

Re: Why don't my indicators like the cold?
Boll*x mine's doin' it now. I've lost functionality of the left indicator. Flick the switch .... 10 seconds later the things begin to flash. Noticed that when I put her in the garage I tried the switch (engine off) and the relay chattered before the indicators began to function. I've put the battert...

Re: another ftr suspension offer...
Benny, what will be the likely all up cost for an Ohlins set up front and rear on a Firestorm. Is it just springs on the front?

Re: Is this the last of the year?
I actually bought my Storm to destroy through the winter. Of course I won't let that happen, I'll still look after it.

Re: Why don't my indicators like the cold?
Check the earth connections on the indicators. If the connection's a bit loose you won't get full resistance across the relay, and as there's not enough load it won't work properly. After you ride it for a while, the heat warms things up and changes clearances, tightness of bolts, etc. Try running ...
