Re: Odometer circuit current leak

Does the bike have an imobilizer ?, what else is off this fuse, you need to isolate some more, 1.8ma will always cause you problems, need to find the cause

Re: MCCT Rattle (?)

Might be that the cam chain tensions is set a bit loose when the CCTs were fitted , or after doing any shims when the valve clearances were done. As long as the locknuts on the MCCT's are tight, there is no short term risk, but it will be something to check in the winter. Thank you! The locknut is ...

Re: Selling my Storm

Update After 7.5 years of ownership I have now sold the bike, I got £2700 for it which is a good price but I do wish these fantastic machines had a higher value which they deserve, I'm happy with the price though but more happy with the fact it has gone to one of my oldest friends who I recently re ...

Re: Selling a VTR1000F year 2000

As you joined in 2011 you should be able to post an advert in the "for sale" section, the rules changed for newer members but you have what's known as grandad rights so take some photo's and post an advert, also put a price on it :thumbup:

Re: what have you done to your

Had some plastic surgery! After a good look in the mirror I decided it was time to do something about my aging man boobs and have them removed. Out with the old and time to start a new chapter. I must say, I’m pretty pleased with the results. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220814/aab9e9ae046a6c...

Re: KTM...RIP

Ideally yes would like to sell soon as, but if you wanted it we can come to some arrangement where I could hang in a bit, as said would love it go to someone here. Also as I’m probably a long way from you I could deliver or meet up as I have a van. Could you px the BM against the KTM ?, just a thoug...

Re: Front sprocket 17T - any experience with it?

Firestorms have a level of vibration, it has never been a problem for me. Some people use a foam cover on the handle bar grips called Grip Puppies, link below ⬇️ https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=grip+puppies&adgrpid=59976875664&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInNuGxI7D-QIVDO7tCh0b7AMXEAAYASAAEgLCxfD_BwE&hv...

Re: Riding help...leaning

Standard tyre sizes work best with the standard wheel sizes, if you go wider the contact patch maybe smaller is it can pull the tyre I. A bit and in effect possible less grip, you could go taller with a 180/60 profile which will make the bike turn in quicker, but std is a safe bet. Bridgestone S22 i...
