Update- Ok finally had a chance Sat to take a look at things. Tank off, all the pipes look ok, Airbox off that's fine just a bit dirty (chucked a new filter on whilst in there), top of carbs look ok bit of carbon build up so gave them a clean up. Was about to take carbs off and apart when my mate sa...

Thanks cybercarl

I've a Haynes manual I'll have to hand as well, but no doubt that will seem to be written in greek to me

also check how the overflow pipes are routed as there has been a few examples of that leading to bogging down. there was a link somewhere to a picture of teh best way to change the routing to make sure it works even better than Honda planned. I think it was via the superhawk forum, but someone will...

If you need to take the carbs off and give it all a clean through it's a very simple job if you are reasonably good with a spanner. (:-}) Think that might be an idea, thinking about it bike has been left for reasonable period of time this summer without being run due to sh1t weather (total FWB nowa...

Problem only started last time I rode it, prior to that its never happened before. Bike doesn't misfire, it does pop on the overrun occasionally but has done that for years without issue. Its not that it won't rev past 5k absolutely as such, it sort of bogs down like a 2smoke that needs a good clear...

Coming home the other day on the A1 at 85 (around 5000rpm in 6th) in the outside lane. Car in front moves over and I go to accelerate, open throttle and....nadda in fact if feels like its going to die. Felt akin to being out of fuel. So pulled into slow lane and look to pull over, only at constant t...

Stick new tyres on it. Then forget the mods and spend cash on beer/hookers/drugs/holiday/trackdays

I was a sucker for mods in the past and even ended up doing stuff to the storm (cans/dyno set up/calipers) but TBH wished now I'd have kept the cash and just ridden the fecker

I got Motad Venoms £155 delivered for the pair :D Right price was £300 odd I think. I called them (Motad), said I was from here and would they do a discount expecting £15 or something, after picking my jaw off the floor I bit their arms off. I suspect they were clearing old stock but for the mone...

Have you seen Gilsons Dyno chart when the manual CCT's were too tight? - Big hole in power and torque

Doubt its the CCT's then the dyno chart looks fine.

Won't make any difference whether manual or OEM CCTs are fitted. When you get this symptom, what speed are you doing and in what gear? Not saying you do, but you can't let the Storm chug along in high gear at low revs, even if it is a V twin. 30-40 in 2nd or 3rd between 3-4k. Don't think I chug too...

Do you have manual CCTs? Not as far as I am aware (unless previous owner did it which I doubt as he didn't even change the original tyres it came with from new in 9500miles/5 years!). I listen for cam chain rattle but nothing as yet so gonna leave it. I've read the pro's and con's and for the momen...

Will try and post up dyno chart but have to remember to bring it in to work and scan it. The curve looks good though and on paper the hole is filled. Having said all that I went out for a hundred odd mile ride yesterday and didn't have the problem once, which makes me think it might be me doing some...

Something doesn't sound right on your bike to me. When you fitted back the standard filter did you notice if it was still there, or put back the channel that the standard air filter's up-stand sits in, it's attached to the air box lid (see first pic in link below). If that is missing you could be g...

Low speed running/filtering is fine. Its constant throttle at 30's - 40's around 3-4000 rpm. Up to say 25 is good and above 45 is good, but thats not good when you need to do a dead 30 or 40. With standard cans on the bike wasn't great, but with Motad Venom cans the problem got more noticeable. Had ...

Hi Guys, Right had the Storm a while and still having the same problem and I'm not sure if its just me :sad2 So let me know your thoughts. Basically ridden under 50mph the engine is a bit of a pig. Acceleration even slow acceleration is fine as long as the throttle is positive, but trying to maintai...
