Perhaps Storm CCTs fail due to lots of low milage runs and not getting enough oil splashed onto them? Ok, the Vara is in a lower state of tune but there has to be something in it?
I've also wondered if Vara's have the same problem ??

I do know Honda had a CCT update for the Varas early in their life, the later ones don't seem to fail according to the the forums...
