Firestorm on ebay?

I don't mind
was always partial to bananas!!

Nice unmolested bargain! Hopefully just a console bulb and you're away. Double check the RR for unfinnyness

Hope that is all it is!

Do you mean the Regulator/rectifier? Is this a weak point on Storms? and is there a better version available?

[Eclectic]

Congrats mate! As for R/R yeah they are a weak point. The original is a square thing that overheats.

You'll want one with fins so it can dissipate the heat nicely. You can get a CBR125 R/R for a decent price in fleabay, beauty is they are plug and play.

Result! well done.

Now start looking for a matching seat cowl, manual ccts (he's said they're done, but that often means replaced with more standard ones) and get the RR replaced.
Then a quick carb balance and you're set for the summer!

Tank light might be sender or a connection fault, or plain and simple failed bulb.

Picked it up today! looks fine but needs a bit of tlc I don't think the owner was much of a cleaner! other than that it runs just great! it's even got heated grips fitted

I did notice that the tank is a slightly paler colour to the rest of the bike so maybe it has been replaced in the past? My bike is an early model on a P plate does the yellow change with the later models?
The cct's have been replaced with standard ones so I might just fit stoppers to them...is there a specific length they need to be cut to?
I think that I might fit VFR800 clip-ons on it to improve the riding position too as being an old git my elbows were aching a bit after the ride home!

I'd get a few miles in before you think about changing the bars. I got sore wrists at low speeds when I rode mine for the fist couple of times but haven't noticed any discomfort since (20,000 miles including long days touring in France).

Oh, and I'm an old git too

Enjoy.

Search to workshop forums for stopper mod.

The stopper needs to be cut so that the plunger at maximum retract with the stopper in place is a bit shorted than the standard one as it comes out.
Typically around 9-11mm.


As to colour, yes, it went from the older Shining Pearl Yellow Y124 code to a paler shade later, so maybe it has a later tank.
