Hello all

Post by OtterSmacker »

Lurked around on here for little over a week in conjunction with my recently acquired Firestorm to get a better understanding of this sweet beast.

Here's the black widow as I bought it...

It's pretty much standard apart from the Yoshimura exhausts (sound of Thor's vinegar strokes) that's been hightened and apparently the front a rear suspension are upgrades - Supposedly the fronts are upgraded with Ohlins internals.

I'm now waiting on a full servicing kit containing all fluids and filters, Renthal Sprockets with Tsubaki chain and a shiny new Scottoiler V SYSTEM to go with it.


A crumby introduction, I know, but I'm very happy to be here! :thumbup:

Looks tidy, the fork upgrade is likely to be springs only and a fluid change, but should be the better for it.
Rear shock looks std, though...but I can't zoom in enough to see properly.

Welcome!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
