New here, long term owner.

Hi, I'm Steve.

Had my 02 Storm since 2009 &, after years of ambivalent neglect, has been put back on the road permanently.
What a fantastic machine! Passed its MOT after just a couple of fixes (Replace front tyre & swap very loud underseat exhausts) & now commutes over 400 miles per week.
It has needed some care/adjustments/cleaning etc. and I've found this site to be an excellent source of sound knowledge. Carb strip, clean, balance, mixture along with TPS adjust has worked wonders.
I must 'fess up to something though. The CCT's were replaced with originals just prior to purchase & they're still running.
It's my next job as, although it's still not running 100%, it probably won't be running at all unless I get that sorted!
Can anyone recommend a manual kit please?
By the way, I'm in Southend, Essex.

Cheers!

First of all welcome to the forum. There are a few suppliers for ccts. Bazza on here does them as well as Ade Whitmarsh. Some people get annoyed with Ade but I have used his and they are pretty good quality.

Bazza of this here parish & Wickford sells converted std ones to manual jobbies, fair price keeps a semi origonal look & does the job just as well as other brands that are avaliable.

Have a look at the replacement guide here... viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28583

There is a get together in May where if you not 100% sure aboubt doing in someone will help you with guidence on how to do it...It really isn't hard TBH even a monkey brain like me can do it & have several times now. Of course there will also be several other people probably taking the pith out of you as well at the same time... viewtopic.php?f=14&t=41844

I'm only 6 or so miles from Southend unfortunatly the River Thames is in the way so you'd have to come via the Datford crossing...unless you have a boat ?

Krieger, APE, Bazza and Ade Whitmarsh's CCT's > viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22720

And as Mac suggests pop along to sunny Grain workshop day gathering in sunny early May to install them sooner rather than later.

welcome to the forum, looks like an interesting bike you have .... it good when you refind the joy of a firestorm

[Southwind531]

Cheers for all the welcome messages.
Yeah, I've not seen similar exhaust routing on a storm. Looks cleaner with rear peg hangers off but the cans were leaking & burnt a hole through the mudguard!
Poor old thing stood out in all weathers for around 2 years. (I can recommend Halfords' solar battery charger!) The lights & indicators didn't work & nor would it crank. Some WD40 & a few taps with a screwdriver handle sorted all in about 10 minutes.
The indicators are sometimes reluctant when cold but I've read here that the switch may need a proper clean.
I had a look this morning & my tensioners have 8mm headed bolts/caps(?) on the rear of them.
Would anyone here know the likely type I've got?

Thanks

Steve.

P.S. Will be up for the Grain meet, even if I don't want to get my hands dirty!

Do they look like these - if not then they are more than likely to be OEM CCTs - unless they are Bazza's conversions
