:D :D Hi peeps new here, been reading all about the storm.

Just bought mine named steve as I cant be bovvered to take screen stickers offImage
to replace a misadventure with road side furnitureImageoops :roll:

Checked over bike and cleaned and added some heat transfer grease to rectifier and put on a fan hopefully prevent overheating, stripped and lubed suspension linkage added a washer to top mount to raise slightly, fitted grip warmers, changed fluids and added a chain lubricator next to do on list are the ccts and hopefully will be as reliable as the cbr, these firestorms are awesome got loads of grunt. This one looks fine to.
My names David and I live near Basingstoke so youll see me up and down M3 as well as the nadgery roads round these parts, just dont blink.

By for now.

The oilers from Motrax the electronic type, fitted the dispenser under the seat near the locks thetube runs down then along swingarm to just in front of rear sprocket, virtually invisible and wired into light circuit so only operates with lights. Seems to work a treat.Forgot bought from MandP 32£ on ebay.

Hi David,

Welcome to the mad house, looks like you've got the bases covered, just need some nice noisey cans on now, high or low level.

Nice paint job too - looks like a nice tidy bike alround.

You certainly know how to kill a bike :lol: - Don't tell me, the street furniture fell on it while it was parked :roll:
