Ive had similar symptoms and problems with my storm too and im totally stuck what to do with the thing now. My problems first started out with it missfiring occationally and has got worse.

Ive bought a vfr800 5 spoke front rim and a 5 spoke one for the back off a blade. Tyre sizes match and bearings are the same size and part no. going to try it all together soon. will let you know

Nice mod. Have to say i still have a superfour as well (vtec engine on it) and that again has a hazard switch, and i do find them handy. I alternativley spent £300 on a datatool S4 alarm which when both buttons are pressed on the fob gives you hazards, how cool is that. Bit more costly mind

Thanks for the help so far. Turned out the breather pipe was getting pinched by the aftermarket belly pan went for a spin after re routeing the pipe and blowing through to make sure it was clear and still the same problem. It does compleatly die on me sometimes but always cuts back in before grindin...

Thats alot of oil otherwise. have you check th...

who pays what for a pair of pilots and where abouts do you get them from?

Thanks for the help folks. It hasnt done it for two weeks (ride it everyday). I think it was sat for a while before i bought it, dont know if that would contrabute to the backfire or not. if its starts doing it again ill get it sorted

At first i couldnt think what it could be but now youve said that and having a good listen thats exactly what it is. Off to the dyno then.
