Cheers for the info, will trace the culprit down the rabbit hole and see where it leads.

Bike's only been standing a week, so not very long at all.

Contunous, when bike is running, stops when bike is not running. Fair amount of fluid coming out too, not just drips.

Also no petrol around the carb rubbers, fuel just seems to be coming straight out of a hose at the bottom, but only when the bike is running.

Well, it took me a LONG time to get the front breather hose on, but it's there. The bike is back together and started up fine, but I have a fuel leak :/. Petcock is dry and no leaks around it or the fuel line, but am getting a good bit of fuel coming out of the bottom of the bike. Any ideas where I ...

How, in the name of Christ, are you meant to get the airbox back onto the front breather and air hoses?

That's the one, Dark. Thankfully not a critical component!

Alright then, have some free time available this afternoon so will see how far we get in the reassembly . Cheers!

Thanks gents! :thumbup: Was out of my comfort zone by the carb trumpets, so it was all downhill from there really! :lol: Remember to turn the engine over by hand a good few turns before pressing the start button, just to make sure all the valves clear the pistons. Good luck, Chris. Thanks for the he...

Thanks again, Kermit .

Okay, final noob question... I may have fitted the paper gasket on my rear MCCT the wrong way round. The gaskets provided had a brown paper side and a green side, and I THINK I may have fitted the green side outwards, rather than inwards, as ever so slightly visible in this picture. 20170620_110313....

Thanks for the feedback all. A quick trip to the shops to get a six-point 10mm socket was all that it took to persuade the offender in question! The MCCTs have now been fitted, which can surprise no-one more than myself! :lol: About to start putting the old girl back together, and try to keep the nu...

Roger roger! I hear you loud and clear! Have truly shown how green I am now! :oops: :mrgreen: You're correct in assuming that I only half a 1/2 drive socket set with 12-point sockets! Will see where a 6-point socket gets me before fannying about with more awkward solutions. Thanks for the correction...

Thanks for the advice mate! Wasn't intending to measure valve clearances, though, at 45000km and limited service history, presume this would be advised? Unsure if I should cut my losses as I'm already operating at the utmost limits of my ability here. Have a decent socket set, despite lack of other ...

Evening all, Firstly, thank you so much for all of the information made available on here by fellow Storm owners. Recently picked up an '05 Storm and have decided to undertake the MCCT job despite almost entirely negligible mechanical experience 8O :lol:. That said, I've surprised myself in making g...
