Hi, Probably opening a can of worms her as everyone likes there bike set up differently! I have never adjusted my suspension before maybe the previous owner did, but not happy with the handling, It feels nervous and slow both at the same time if that is possible Any tips or anyone found a sweet spot ...

Im pretty sure they are, the hoses are preformed and sit alongside the airbox so wont go into the fuel tap any other way

Hi Guys & Girls, I have a issue with the Storms running ... Basically when riding around normally under say 60mph or accelerating hard or gradual she runs fine, But when going down a dual carriage way at 70-80mph on a constant / steady throttle she keeps missing, it feels like she's holding back ...

Hi Having issues with my cooling fan ... Run it up & it starts to get hot but fan doesn't kick in as it gets close to the red I turned the key off then back on, suddenly the fun kicks in !!! Start it up fan runs for abit then stops, engine gets hot again but fan doesn't kick in, again turn it off ...

Hi guys & girls,

Made a schoolboy error ...
Had the air box off for a while, gone to put it back together & the trumpets are different lengths
Forgotten which length goes at the front & which at the rear
If someone could advise me that would be fantastic
Thanks in advance

alternator stator lives in the outer cover casing, but as long as you unpug that from the harness [and have drained the oil] you will be ok. water pump just comes off with no issues clutch has the ignition timing pick up attached but again it can be unplugged from the other side of teh v. take care ...

Hi,
Currently tiding up the storm, my engine casings (Clutch, Altenator & Water Pump) are looking tatty.
I want to take them off and paint them.
Is it as easy as un bolting them & pulling them off ?
Or is there things lurking behind that will fall out then ill be in the s**t etc etc !!!

Hi I have a set of carbon can co on my storm and I noticed there was a small leak where the link pipe on the near side joins the original pipe. I took it apart and found a metal mesh gasket in there which has split & deteriorated ! Does anyone no where I can get one ? I've looked online & can't seem ...

Hi Properly being over cautious here, but when on the temp gauge does the fan kick in ? I came home tonight and parked up the storm I was letting it idle while I wiped it down, I noticed the gauge went past the half mark closer to the 3/4 mark, the fan did not kick in so I turned it off as it was ...

Yep ! I'm such a fool I've been looking for everything but !
I over looked it ! I had it attached to the drain !
I feel like a idiot
Sorry for wasting your time guys & girls !

Who wants to laugh at me ?

The previous fault on my threads was missing and poor running on a steady throttle, It never actually cut out, i was told to check the tps and when I did it wasn't sending out a signal. I swapped it out for a second hand one & it was running fine. Then I took the bike of the road So this has started ...

Yea been stored in the dry, it' didn't run long enough to get too hot ...

Yea that prob was fixed it was a tps sensor this is a totally new fault lol

I didn't really see any crap but could of been & not checked the plugs
Think I'll drain the tank again & spray some carb cleaner slim the carbs see if that helps
