Re: This winters project.
Two-strokes... Twice the power strokes, half the time between rebuilds.
Looks like you're doing a good job

Storm owner in Biggin Hill pub Sat 23rd March 24
I passed the Black Horse earlier in the week, and saw a sign: Bikers welcome Sat lunchtime.
I dropped in and met a few riders- one of the has a later Storm. I forgot to ask his forum username.

Anyone free to meet up at Ryka's, Box Hill tomorrow, Weds?

Re: VTR 1000 Good for the last hurrah?
as far as my aching joints are concerned, the storm is not the ideal bike for us elderly gentlemen, unless youre reasonably supple. which i'm not. however, i'm refusing to get rid of mine and trying to modify it to be more comfortable to ride. usual mods are flat bars and dropped pegs, but my probl...

Re: The RD400 drag bike
Otherwise, bring the KTM, it'll be a laugh seeing that launch. Good luck with finding the parts.

Re: Xmas present to myself
Update: I found something to do: the couch to 5k.
I already had the " couch" part nailed.
Ran (well, jogged) my first 5k without stopping today.
Bloody hard work, this relaxing lark!

Re: Problem with old VTR 1000
I haven't come across a repairer for these but you should be able to find a secondhand set easily enough.
If you can read the resistor, you can simply solder one on as a bridge for the blown one. Of course, if the fault still exists, you might blow the replacement, too.

Re: 1997 Rebuild gone bad
Not wishing to throw a spanner in the works of Tony's reply, but when you did the compression test was the engine turning over at the right speed then? If not then you would get a low reading. Have you fitted manual cam chain tensioners? Chris. Fair point, Chris, it could make a difference. Best re...

Re: 1997 Rebuild gone bad
The only other part of the circuit is the earth lead, so check that there's no corrosion where it mounts to the rear of the engine. Given your low compression and the improvement with oil in the bores it seems very likely that you need a rebore, new pistons and rings. That's not a big deal, and is e...
