New Storm Owner

Post by pariah »

Hi All

Well I love my beast apart fron the bad vibration I recieve through the foot pegs and handle bars.
Is this standard for a storm or could there be some thing I need to check.
I love riding the beast but after an hour my fingers and toes go knumb :?

Welcome aboard m8y

They do tend to vibe a bit
you have two 500cc pistons flying about but it all depends on what you’ve been riding as to how bad you think they are
you need to compare it to some one else’s to see if its any worse or not if your last bike was a inline 4 then they can seem a bit lumpy

Thats what traffic lights are for, time to flex your fingers and rist and get some circulation going again.

Hello.

Check your carbs don't need balanced, can help a lot with vibrations.

Welcome aboard!
the only advice i can give is make sure your carbs are balanced, it's got the OE bar ends, and your engine mounting bolts are all tight.
Cheers! Chris. :D

Welcome to Forum California, just like the song you will never leave once hooked. Even if you sell out and buy a green Kwacker you will come back for more! :lol: :lol:
