It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Dumb question but owt what needs doing I pay some one.Ant a clue
Early (pre2001) R/R s are unfinned and have a nasty habit of frazzling the battery/electrics leaving you stranded - Later ones were upgraded to finned and thus run cooler or fit a suitable Yam or kwack MOSET one. A battery optimiser is no help in such a situation.
Learn some thing every day cheers.But my beast is the one with the bigger tank and fuel gauge
On a 2003 so I should be ok then
(I do wish we all had the location in our profiles )
That's a nice looking red, is it standard?

Hi Flatline
I'm in Peterboghorror m8, I think the colours standard, reds a funny colour to photo with the light and all that. I suspect the other red storm on this thread is the same as mine but pictured in a different light ? I have been looking at the forum for a while ( I think that's called voyeurism...watching ) and did a fair bit of reading before I bought the bike to be honest and like you say there is some real knowledge to be had.
new to vtr myself ,
they should all be red ,mines a 98 ,the paint ,panels orig n still mint,
this is because the red ones are the fastest ,
n the crud doesnt have time to stick to them.
welcome aboard, nice bike matey, i was wondering why your engine casings are the older colour but your bikes a 04 plate......?
just an observation, i have to admit that red is one of the nicer colours the firestorm came in.
