Thanks for the tips, i think i will get the bike fully serviced. best to be safe not sorry.
do you think i need to explain to the garage that the bike has been sitting around or does a service cover everything no matter how many miles?

im thinking of giving my bike a full service some time in january, but i have only done about 200 miles since my last "half" sevice(oil and filter) 6 months ago. i was told at my last full service (january 07) that a full brake service may be required because of the lack of use. Is this ri...

i remember my datatool alarm when i first got on my bike, kept on cutting out on hard acceleration. turned out i had it on the wrong setting and the vibration caused the immobiliser to cut in.

pressed some buttons here and there, now it works..

After spending £80 on a top of the range kryptonite lock i feel a little gutted.

luckly its only 1 of 8 that help keep my storm safe and the only 1 with that kind of lock.

You may or may not know about this but I saw this clip on another site and was very shocked by what i was seeing.

What is the oil like - any bits of metal in it? A failed bearing would poss leave traces there. the oil is clean and they took belly pan off and found no trace of metal. Is the sound the same with the clutch in and out? the sound doesnt change under load or with the clutch in. will give the other s...

you may rememberthat i posted up about my firestorm making a nasty tapping sound after having a oil change and rear cct changed. well, after taking the bike back to the shop and telling them they have damaged it somehow. they replaced the rear and the front cct, checked behind the clutch cover and r...

Before I get the work done I just wanted to make sure it was the CCT, so I have done a video on my phone, have a listen, see what you think.

thank you for all your advice, i will get them to replace the cct and hope it cures the problem.

also, it probably doesnt matter but my oil is green. where before it was a golden colour..

i will update you as soon as i get the work done.

once again, thank you.

Let me tell you a little story, (im hoping with all your advice it will have a good ending). I brought my firestorm in january from a local dealer, R plate with 21k on the clock and a full history (more recepts then i can count). First job on my list was a full service from my local honda dealer, wh...

Optimates, brilliant....
When i had my old yamaha, i ended up buying two new batterys in the space of 4 months (winter months).

Since ive been using the optimate, no new batterys. And now the bikes always ready for sunshine(if and when it turns up)..

Ive got the oxford monster alarm/disc lock, and ive not had any problems with the batterys since i brought it about 9 months ago.. And i must say im very impressed with lock itself, seems to be built very well. As for the xena alarm, I have only tested it in the shops (thats right, im the one who mo...

hello, another newbee here..

all i can say about the bike is WOW..... loving it...

twirly.
