I noticed the two small sponge-type air filters inside my air box are disintegrating

Does anyone have any idea what they are called - I can't find any on ebay

Big thanks for the info and photos which was a huge help The job was relatively easy apart from trying to get the adaptor into the front port which was a bit tricky It turns out both carbs were pretty much spot on, perhaps a difference of 0.5 - 1.0 - it only took the smallest of tweaks to get them b...

Some kind person has given me a carb vacuum synchronising kit [4 gauges] and a portable 1 litre fuel tank Great I thought, I'll check the carb balancing on my storm this afternoon But I'm trying to read up on it and I'm getting conflicting views and getting confused If anyone can explain in real bas...

Huge thanks for all the helpful replies. I also found Benny's thread interesting as I have also swapped my Storm battery over to the SP1 on a couple of occasions. Anyway I made a mental list of all your suggestions and started with what sounded the easiest one first - 'loose Power Commander connecti...

Thanks for the advice and info. I have just got back from work on it [10:15 pm here in Spain] so not had a chance to check anything yet To be honest I probably shouldn't be riding it, because when this problem kicks in it's pretty hairy and for that 1 - 2 seconds of shut down, it's a serious engine ...

SP1 Question here - hope that's okay? Riding along on my usual 15 mile ride to work, the bike rides fine and then perhaps 2 or 3 times during the trip, it loses power for 1 - 2 secs and then recovers as if nothing has happened I'm unsure if the loss of power is due to an electronical problem or a fu...

Big thanks Tony

Will still PM you Tony but posting main issues here so we can all share and learn something [from you - not me obviously lol] Hi Tony, Thank you for your reply. My problem has been my battery [new one] going flat with only 12.4 - 13 v going back into the battery, I've had the battery checked out and...

Hi Tony,

Thank you for your reply - Looks like you could be saving the day yet again!

I will PM you

I'm looking for a stator/generator for a 2001 SP1 - If anyone has one for sale, please drop me a line

Secondhand SP1 parts seem to be like rocking-horse sh***!, even on ebay!!

Thank you for all the info Wicky, which is very helpful, I'm already looking at a number of things and running tests which I hadn't thought of Turbo_Billy - I have a non-functioning Datatool box wired in, which is housed in the rear fairing - having said that, I'm guessing it is partially disconnect...

Thanks Wicky, do you have a link the that battery trouble shooting page? So I can get pages 16-6 and 16-8 Also where did you buy your new alternator and what was the price. I just checked the voltage from the alternator going into the R/R My understanding is all - 3 yellow wires should be giving 75 ...

This is a question related to my SP1 [hope that's okay here?} - Although I have had Regulator/Rectifier problems with my Storm, this problem feels a little different. I haven't carried out any electrical tests on the R/R yet or the alternator but here's what's happening. Two weeks a go - a dead batt...

A big thanks for all the info, very helpful as always

I'm looking to re-pack my exhausts - Does anyone have any idea of the size of gas sealed rivets I will need?

It will be the first time I've done this job - So any top tips would also be appreciated

Thanks in advance
