What's under your seat.

[Cousid]

Hi all,
When looking through workshop books online, or details on this website, or pictures of what's under the seat of a Firestorm, there seems to be very different layouts, and items in different positions to my bike.
My Firestorm has not got a tool kit, or suspension spanner or security lock, but there is a alarm system which I am not sure if it is standard or not.
Any chance of some pictures from fellow stormers or links to web pages showing under seat layouts so I can understand what's meant to be there or not.

Many Thanks

Cousid

From the showroom it would of had a toolkit, an owners manual & probably a service book but that would of been added by the dealer.

Thats how there were when I worked in a dealers...

The Storm toolkit contains the shock spanner.

That & the plug spanner seem to be the only essential tools in the kit, the rest are pretty basic...except the cross head scredriver is probably JIS.

Plug spanners from other Honda's I've seen seem to be the same, they have a wobble extension on them.

The weird bit is the tank prop which I've never used, It's supposed to alow access to the rear plug by jacking the back of the tank up but you'd need bloody small hands to get in there...

I know the under tray is shapped to take a U-lock but Im not sure if one came with the bike as I never bought one new...

Oh & alarm is not standard.


This a std under the seat on a bike I'd just put a new loom on, the only thing missing is the rubber hoop that held the tool kit in. This bike didnt have a tool kit & rubber bad was missing...The band is just like a giant O-ring...but they have a habbit of snapping.

The Factory Service Manual contains illustrations/ photos of under the seat > viewtopic.php?f=31&t=18025

Tools and an optional Honda U-lock, restrained by rubber band, go under the seat in the moulded recesses on the undertray and top of of the battery lid. Plus a bag of wine gums in case of an emergency.

Alarm/immobiliser would be aftermarket - if Datatool rip it out and >

The other "casting" in the tray is for a short tyre pump, which also wasn't supplied as standard.
If you want to get it back to standard, I have a handbook and a toolkit, which I think is complete.
You'll need to buy a new rubber band, as a 2nd hand one and as likely to be perished and unusable.

Nope - it's for part of the U-lock. The lockable part.

Hello Tony,
