Good day from cold Netherlands

[JollyVTR]

Hi, my name is Maarten, 50+ and currently I'm owner of my 2nd Stormer. In total my 19th bike over the past 34 years, with lots of Beemers, Yamaha's, a Suzuki T500 and GT380. So decided to buy myself a '01 Yellow crashed bike, beside a F800s Beemer/Rotax parallel-twin. The previous owner of my VTR chooses to run of-road, preventing a kiss with bicyclist, unfortunately... As the local dealer saw no business in damaged bike, the bike was sold via Dutch- Ebay.... Since there are really a lot of VTR donor-bikes circling around, for my a good reason to give the bike a 2nd change.

Many thanks to the warm welcome.

The restaurantion of the 'banana' runs fine. This is how it was....

The bike was stalled in Italy, awaiting for 2 months, before it was taken back return home.

Maintenance and repairs to do/done:
-Link- and swingarm bearings clean and grease.
- Camshaft chain tensioners replaced by manual ones.
- Valves clearance check and adjusment.
-replacement of: fairing complete. Cooling-core rightside. Exhaust mufflers for the original ones. Fuel-valve diaphragm. Right food pegs, brake master pump/reservoir.
