Well, must say I am surprised and concerned to receive such an aggressive response from a long-standing member. I don't think it was intended to be aggressive. It's just that CCTs are a constant refrain on the forum and so many people seem to come on here having had a CCT failure. Almost without ex...

Bought my VTR four months ago with 85000 km on the clock, ( OEM cct), and I don´t know about the bike history, ( i dodn´t know about the cct problem then.. And this makes me, as a new owner, wonder. Has there been a MAJOR problem with OEM CCTs, or has there been a possible over-reaction to a proble...

I love it there - haven't been for 3 years but should be going next year.

We've all done something similar where we could kick ourselves. I'm sure the professional's do too but we never hear about it - they just charge us extra!

Love they b&w pics Kev

Good new you've isolated the culprit - my old Renault Clio showed the rear fog lamp warning when I braked - it was as simple as removing the rear light clusters, switch cleaner and a rub down and the fault disappeared.

I learnt some Japanese ahead of my trip there in March/April this year. I was able to use some of it and it was appreciated by the Japanese in shops/restaurants etc. I'll continue to study it as I want to go back again next year.

Yes. Everything stock in that department.

I average 42 mpg from the Storm. Carbs are standard and with Scorpion cans. Each to their own, but in standard trim I find the Storm plenty fast enough up to three figures, especially with slightly reduced gearing.

Riding on full beam is only likely to antagonise some people and could lead to them becoming aggressive e.g jamming on brakes as you dazzle them from behind.

That's what still gets me after all these years. I was out the other day and thought how you could pull up trees with all that grunt!
