Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

And Welcome Fella

Ordered mine from Gary at overstock and got them from Florida within 3 days with a tracking number and street map view from Google of the tracked route :D . Check the stock before you order.I emailed him first and he had a set in stock.Problem is if he has non they are ordered from Ape direct and he...

Thanks for all the support

Love this site for all the experiance and help have a on me

Anyway going to do my ape tensioners this week so may pull the carbs off whilst its in bits . Then I can have a quick look at what jets are in and check the pilot screw adjustment breathers etc.

That looks spot on luv it

Cheers Chris

Fingers crossed I may have a go tomorrow. Once again thank you all for the quality advice.

I'd be knackered without it lol :-)

Just for anyone who's interested. My Ape tensioners arrived this morning from sunny Florida. These have arrived from Gary at overstock in the states. They have taken 4days from ordering to arrive. I was a little worried with all the no fly and volcano stuff going on. If Gary has them in stock he off...

I had the same problem when the mid pipe gasket by the rear shock went. Check that and the other joints for leaks first, it makes a big difference. 3-5 k is the start of your needle range. Do not go near them with emery cloth :eek2 They are a little bit special on the twin. A 0.6mm washer to raise ...

are you sure its the carb popping and not a link pipe air leak??? worth having a 2nd look before you have to take the tank & airbox off to mess with the carbs. those washers (shims) are 6mm OD and 3mm ID and approx 1/2mm thick. so if you get some m3 nuts bolts & washers, they should be bob ...

This problem first appeared when the bike was standard when I drilled x4 holes in the end of the stock cans. The flat spot was a pain so I welded the holes back up and the problem went. Since putting the scorpions on and just a new clean stock filter the problem is back but a little worse With a lot...

The bike will be running on a stock filter not that bothered about changing it. To shim the needles basicaly adding extra washers to lift the needles ? If so where do you get them from. I don't mind paying for the dynoJet kit and rolling road session if my bike is then spot on.Plus local it's £50 j...

Well I put my lovely Scorpion road legal cans on and they look so much better and sound amazing :thumbup: But my fuelling around 3-6000 rpm is poor :thumbdown: .Any type of cruising in traffic is totally unbearable as it nudges back all the time or surges .Giving it a bit of throttle and all my powe...

Are they the road legal version ? I bought the same cans with baffles fitted and when you take them out the growl like the devil made them
I just use autosol and elbow grease to keep mine clean.Nice set of cans for a good price

Cheers Chris and all.

Decided to go with ape. Just found out though due to bloody volcanos I may wait a while for delivery from the states.

Just my luck.

I am swinging towards the apes(like the pun) as they cant fail like the oem ones.Plus I wouldnt have the cost to repair if my engine failed .Its just the fitting and adjustment thing putting me off a little.I know I need to do something as I am dreaming about the buggers

My Storm has around 22,000 miles on the clock and runs perfect but the niggle is always there. Should I change the CCT. I have decided that this needs to be done for piece of mind .
The only issue is APE or Honda tensioners ?
