Hi

I'm Steve.
I've just bought a Red Firestorm after many years of bikes and then cars. Read up on the CCT issue with these bikes and was told there was a lot of knowledge here.
I love the bike and it fits like a glove. Some very good reviews swayed me in this direction. Got the service manual and have been studying it.
Used to race/mechanic for some mates and bikes have always been in the blood.
Well That's a brief intro from me. Born again rider.

Hi All.

Hello and welcome

Hello and welcome to the club fella. Have a look through the pimp section and get some ideas for your bike. The Storm is a brilliant, under rated bit of kit. Enjoy.

Welcome along to the house of Storm. Sounds like you have already studied all the important issues, so next step is to ride it and get it modified to suit your personal preferences.

Greetings - I posted a link to a roundup of a few different manual CCTs on the other thread. For fitting see the instructions in the workshop knowledgebase section.

Also if you have a on your storm an old unfinned R/R (Regulator Rectifier) best change that before it cooks itself, and simply replace with a CBR125 later finned one - plug'n'play > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CBR-125 ... 5aed371013

Welcome aboard buddy

Check out the links for some ride outs this year

Cheers Guys and thanks for the warm welcome..
When I bought the bike it mentioned the regulator had been modded.
That might be one of today's jobs to check.

Welcome.

Some links regarding the Cam Chain Tensioners (CCT's)

CCT's can go at any time, it's a gamble!

You can either go for the stop mod http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 31&t=19416
Which is the Honda auto CCT's that are converted to a fail safe. So when it does fail, it don't send the valves crashing.

Or

You go for the full manual conversion, your options are here
