I really shouldn't have let this one go,I still regret selling it now...but i wanted a Firestorm more. Its a 1991 CBR600 FM , Steel frame on this year. It was back on ebay earlier this year,I even sent the guy a message to tell him it was my old bike...... it now lives in Scotland :wave: . http://i1...

Not a fan, it doesn't look right with the link pipes going around the outside of the swingarm.

I have seen nice 916 style pipework when using VFR swing arms on and they look well.
In fact , the ones on Firestorm Mikes red one had a nice look to them.

Its a lovely example for sure, love the exhausts...

I didn't see any Firestorms when i was in Singapore, I was too busy hiding my chewing gum

Done the TPS tweak today.. There's some mixed responses as to the outcome of this mod, some saying it transforms the bike and others noticing no difference.

Maybe a vacuum leak somewhere?.I'm sure that would cause it to run lean and thus get more mpg.

yes i are hardcore, thats how i clean my bike. was i sticking to the speed limit? :shh: Looked bang on the limit to me officer... I was on the way to ride my brothers new bike back from Chorley for him as he didn't fancy the rain. Nice day for it :) Oh and it looks like Holmes Moss that does...

Cheers Wicky...i really am liking that.

Sure did, job done in 20 minutes..
I just had to tweak the brake hose mountings a little as the banjo bolt needs a couple of mm to reach the caliper better.

My little red light has always flashed on between the 80-90 mile mark...I'm now getting around 20 miles more on top of that after balancing the carbs...

Today i've fitted some Gixxer 4 pot Tokico's and EBC pads...The calipers feel a lot lighter, there's a lot more feel through the lever and it stops very well indeed

Just had a look , and there's a couple in the worksop manual.
If you do a search for the pdf manual on here you should find it, i think thats how i got mine.

..very close. Out on a bit of a setting up ride today,riding at the speed limit on a familiar road i very nearly met my maker. Coming over a right hand crest i saw an artic coming towards me..what i wasn't ready for was that he was travelling on my side of the road. I very nearly binned it, big slid...
