hi all, the mission with my storm was always to get her mechanically sweet and not bother with the cosmetics too much to save money and also because i live in London and pretty things get nicked! and she's very nearly there... the work has been been pretty extensive. i am now doing a few cosmetic bi...

When I picked up my bike last year it was running 14/42 if I remember correctly. Was fun with the front wheel and deceptively optimistic fuel consumption but almost useless first and over the top engine braking as already mentioned. I changed straight away to a 16 front and today after chain failure...

It's nothing to do with the clutch pushrod. The slave cylinder has an internal spring. If you remove the slave cylinder from the sprocket cover, the spring slowly pushes the slave piston out until it is past the seal, allowing air to enter. On assembly you push it back in again, but air is already ...

The issues with pulling air into the clutch system is due to Honda missing a step in the service manual IMHO. Why the air is pulled in is the easy bit. It happens because the piston in the slave cyl. is large enough that when it moves all the way out (though it will not pop out on its own) it compl...

Unless you take precautions taking the sprocket cover off invariably leads to clutch needing bleeding afterwards. Photo of the damged area? You might still be lucky. Took me 2 hours to get 5 miles to work early this morning on the bike (most of that time was charging the battery). Worked 1&half...

Got my chain and sprocket kit on today (very nice DID zvm G&B x-ring) put her back together very happy with myself as id done it all outside in a blizzard. go to put her in gear and no hydraulic pressure at all on clutch lever. on investigation there is a small hole on the inside of the sprocket...

Hey mate. If you tell me what size lugs you need {cable size&hole diameter) e.g 16mm/6mm? Then Iprobable have a ccouple I could send you but youwould need a decent ccrimper to install. In fact if you tell what size and length of cable you want I may also have and could crimp on the lugs and sen...

So the starting saga I had with Custard the other week...was a duff battery in the end. One of the things I changed over was the starter lead. Today I stripped the insulation off the wire to see just how baddly coroded it was. So at the solinoid end, nice bright clean copper wire... https://i.imgur...

Glad things worked out well as it always could have been much worse..... https://i.imgur.com/esSBOnC.jpg That is terrifying. I've been very lucky over the years with 3 broken chains and no harm to myself or bike or even a locked rear wheel. Just invested in a did x ring extreme kit, may even put in...

Wow that sounds like a good deal, any more left :lol: Chris. no sorry, just checked, he only had one NOS. came with a pair of DID 'extreme' sprockets. bloody good deal- the chains alone are usually about £125! No worries, I didn't really expect there to be more, although thought worth mentioning :l...
