Hi y'all. So the fairings are all back and re-painted, just need to find the time to start putting it back together now! The original front indicators were both pretty tired looking so I've decided to replace them altogether. So what I have now are just the two awkward looking holes in the fairings....

Could also be a very slight blow in the exhaust maybe? Would explain why its worse when hot and gone when cold.....just a thought.

Phew!!!!

Why does she get so hot in traffic? Seems like the one fan isn't up to the job!

Em....should I have one or two rad-fans?

Their both good vids on a different scale. Is that car at Goodwood supposed to churning out a tonne of Black smoke :lol: (:-}) That'll be because its a diesel Carl...Twin turbo 1000bhp diesel tho... :lol: I think its 2.1 petrol no? Just running rich as fook? :lol: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/spe...

Welcome buddy - awaiting the diagnosis on the rattle, hopefully its not too bad.

With the addition of a seat hump it just looks silly and people stop,point and laugh, that could just be at me too I suppose. Nothing obvious is wrong, but now as t...

You could try putting some spacers under the the rear of the tail fairing where the two mounting screws are. I think it would be simpler to adjust the fairing rather than the seat.

Ok, now to find a pre-stripped pic (of the bike ha ha)

Welcome welcome from noob to noob!

I know I could Google it, but what spec's must the engine oil meet for the Storm? ACEA etc etc? I'd much prefer to use a fully synthetic 10w-40 if I could, have seen so many cars ruined by semi-syn oil turning to sludge when service intervals are exceeded. Left the bike idling recently and it boiled...

I restored an old Yamaha XJ550 YICS 1982 and put auld car oil in it no bother, can't say I'd be too trusting doing the same in the Storm! I'm interested in the debate - carry on !
