front cct is weak because oil will not flow up hill on its own!!
spring always breaks at the top of said cct!!!!!
trackdays every 4>5 weeks do your engine no good at all!!!
some one down south has a onestop fix for this apparently, never found out who.
soon as i get another bike i will find out what to do before caning wombles out of it!!

so its the achilles heel again,the cct,looks like the APE route is the way to go thenhttp://www.debben.co.uk/.
apart from that are there any other points that you reckon the storm lacks on track?

keep it real and enjoy your bike!!!!
and dont wombles about with the set up either!!! you know how it behaves and what it does as it is so leave it alone!!!!
all you need to do is lower your tyre pressure a bit, 32 front 36 rear
annd dont forget to adjust them before you go home!!
have fun mate.
