Hello everyone.I have just acquired myself a storm in excellent condition for it,s age.My first venture with a v twin I might add.Loving riding it! I have read some of the horror stories regarding the original cct,s and the reg/recs.My bike unfortunately has both of these.The former owner told me Honda had recalled storm,s as they knew the cct,s were not up to scratch and replaced them with upgraded item,s.Do you know if this is true as I cannot find any literature on the subject.Former owner said he had done 5000 miles with no problem,s at all and the gaskets on them do look like new.If this is not the case,do you know where I can get this done in the west Yorkshire area.I am ok changing the reg/rec and Have my own garage for bike maintenance,but the job to change to manual cct,s is a bit beyond my mechanical expertise I am afraid.I just don't want the front cylinder to pop 5 minute,s after I have bought it as This bike is gonna be a keeper! I love it!! Any help or answer,s to my question,s will be very gratefully received.Thank,s all!Mark.

Hello and welcome buddy, I don't think the cct's have been recalled by Honda I think you would be better going down the route of manual or the stopper mod lots of info on here if you have a browse

Hi buddy glad you love your storm they really get under your skin I've got a BMW but still miss my vtr! I'm from Selby and go to squires cafe regular ,get ccts sorted and join us all on a few rideouts next year and merry Xmas , ady.

Welcome aboard Sir Honda P R rubbish about upgraded ccts I'm afraid! As has been said manuals or stopper mod is the way to go

Do the stopper mod asap .
Hello and welcome .
The rear cct can fail too so do both

Welcome to the club mate, great bikes, enjoy.

deffo do both cct's, last summer a friend had the rear go....
rare but it does happen, where about are you, there maybe a forum member nearby who can help and assist you...

Welcome aboard Mark

Getting your new bike CCT's and rectifier sorted is a good idea,

Chris.

I endorse fully what has been said by these inmates .. and welcome to the asylum
enjoy the Honda firestorm ... all the best

welcome along to the club sir.

Welcome to the team. As has been said, do the stopper mod over the winter, the instructions in the workshop section are good, the job isn't that complicated, and we are always here if you need to phone someone to talk you through anything that you don't understand.

Welcome to the forum Mark.Guarantee you that the mods won't stop at cct's and r/r.Enjoy.
