tune up in manchester area

Post by richard »

Folks,

can anyone tell where is the best place to take my 'storm for a tune up, in the manchester area ?.....i always prefer to do the work myself ( job done properly....etc ) but i cant stretch to buying my own dyno :lol:

i bought the bike second hand, its fitted with non original viper cans ( that sound great ! ) and a k+n filter - and with a couple of track days coming up i need to be certain its fuelling right....

thanks in advance,

richard.

Definitely take it to Roger at Revolution up in Galgate (J33 M6). No-one knows more than him about setting up VTRs since he raced them and was involved with HRC in developing the racebikes a few years ago.

As it happens we've got a dyno day organised on the VTR list next saturday (13th). Plenty of folk from the list will be there plus a bbq, you don't have to get your bike run up on the dyno, turn up for a chinwag and you'll be made welcome.

I did the 500+ mile trip in a day last year, it was worth every minute/mile. just be careful if you go up through mid wales early in the morning as there are no petrol stations open till 8 o clock.

folks,

thanks for all those who took time to respond to my original post,

today i went up to see roger at rev racing, talk about lucky with the weather its been a glorious day... :P

roger surely knows his stuff, and on the dyno the bike was showing a pretty clean graph with a peak 106 bhp...not bad for an ebay special with 24k miles on the clock ( running vipers, k+n air filter and jet kit so it seems ), i am going to scan the graphs in and can email if anyones interested for comparison.

also talked about front suspension work on the forks - obviously a special roger receipe, which he charges for 200 quid all in - you post the tubes to him and he posts back.....

always refreshing to deal with someone who knows what hes doing...

once again - thanks all,

richard

It's always refreshing too hear of good news in the world of testing, repairing or up grading a motorcycle so thanks for letting us all know Richard :!:

Mind you once you said you'd gone to see Roger at Revolution Racing the rest was history :wink:
