Hi John, you really thought the Brands GP is better? I've never ridden it, but I rode Silverstone GP and found it too long and technical for a single track day. Does that also apply to Brands GP? Is it worth the extra money for the GP circuit? I know what you mean about Silverstone GP - did it this...

Hope you had a blast! Never done Rockingham. Off to Snetterton on Thursday 28th, looking forward to it. I've upgraded my Firestorm Track bike with an SP1 front MC. I also took the pads out and sanding them down to get rid of the glaze. Expecting great things! I prefer Brands Indy to the few I've do...

Thats why the 848 is such an attractive buy, great road useable power, same handling and believe it or not the service intervals have doubled since the 749/999. They are still £200 pound a year more expensive than a Jap IL4 though at approx £400 for the annual service. As you can see I looked and...

...tis also Wurth High Performance Dry Chain Lube for me every time

Thought i'd start a new thread where you can post what trackdays you are doing, in the hope that another 'storm owner might be doing it, or might come & join ya !

To start it off, i'm doing Rockingham International this bank holiday monday 25th August....

Tried a 1098S at Brands the other week... it was incredible! When I got off it after my session I was speechless! Handled like a dream, incredible brakes, sounded awesome & the power throughout the rev range was astounding! It went like a rocket! A bike like that is wasted on the road tho me thi...

On he cct side, can I just say a big thank you to sirch345 for the guide on changing them, without it I would have been totally screwed :mrgreen: . Chris Couldn't agree with you more... sirch345 instructions make a very daunting task relatively easy! Thanks Mr :D ...however with the CCT in postitio...

It turns out that the new rad cap that I got was a cheap aftermarket one (even tho was told it was a genuine part!). Got a used one from a scrappy today - & it works! Phew! Was starting to get worried that something more serious was wrong! cheers for all those who chipped in with their advice! J...

I got 123 miles before RLOD once :-) ... and that was the last session on track at Rockingham (i.e. gassing it!), followed by 100 mile ride home (at 70-80 on motorway). If riding conservatively round town can get 90-100 miles before RLOD - if riding like a loon more like 80 miles !! Oh yeah & mi...

Hi I would be VERY suprised if your cans are over the 105db noise limit. They test you at 5,000 rpm with the noise meter... my old Termignoni race cans only put out 98-99db last noise test at brands! If you are in any doubt, phone up the folk at Cadwell park & you can probably arrange a noise te...

Hi Folks Am loving this Firestorm site BTW... some excellent info on here & some very friendly & helpful people! Now, i'm looking at getting my forks rebuilt & getting the shock spacer fitted. Firstly, I was wondering if it is advisable to do the forks before the shock spacer, as I have ...

Thanks for all the replies so far :) I've seen these integrated tail light units on ebay for around £60... eg. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330240647394&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3800...

Hi folks! Am awaiting delivery of some Scorpion High Level cans :), & am aware that after fitting them my rear indicators will need repositioning. So I was wondering what people on here thought was the best / easiest option. I mean, for example, is there a tail tidy kinda thingy I can buy to avo...

Hi

Anyone know of anywhere who does high level exhaust conversions near London / South East?

I have a low level Termignoni carbon race cans on my storm (which I lurve to bits!), but I wanna go high level to improve ground clearance.

Any help much appreciated!

thanks, John
