your clutch is going to slip again.
like said before, use recomended semi synthetic and change the filter.
car oil does not contain the anti slip properties for wet clutches.
and fully synth is possible too slippery? for the storm.
hope this helps

just to say,thanks to tony, problem fixed with a new sensor.

the clock lights are working ok, just the speedo stopped working.
but,since my last post i have not done anything to my bike except ride it and yet the speedo has been working?
ive done at least 100miles this weekend.
i hate intermittent electrical problems

thanks tony, Im using the r6/r1 rec that you kindly supplied me last year so i dont think its that. didnt have a chance to re check the clocks today but will do so over the weekend. no speedo at all today but numbers still show,saving on mileage but no good not knowing how far ive gone with the dred...

welcome.
went to normandy on my storm last year,two up,loaded with luggage.
mainly motorways,fast roads,averaged about 100-110 a tank(light on) 99reg. riding normally(fast-ish).
if you stick to main routes its not a problem.

I just got a set of pilot roads online for 148 deliverd,plus 20quid to fit at my local fitter.
never used them before but good results so far 500miles.
dunno how long they are gona last?

sounds similar to my problem methinks.
could be the weather,just fumes escaping through the breather/s.??

thanks tony,will try separating them.
the thing is the tank hasnt been brimmed for a while(petrol prices!!)
thats whats got me worried.
could just be the heat of the past few days though.
will keep my eye on it.(not literally!)
cheers mate.

had a good look today when the heat died down, traced the pipe back across the other side of the bike,
and it does go to the tank.
would it be the tank breather blocked and its forcing petrol out this pipe?

Hi people, had this problem a couple of days. could smell petrol the other day,had a look round the bike,nothing. yesterday a small patch of petrol on the floor from one of the many pipes that hang out the bottom of the bike. i cant tell where it goes, it runs to the left then,through the frame on t...
