Re: 98 firestorm, new owner

Mac I think you definitely win the bin in the photo comp. I did look for a yellow storm but couldn’t find one close to me at the price I wanted to pay. Not seen many in silver for sale though. Will be good to get out and meet people from here over the summer. Think I’ve spend best part of 5 hours in...

Re: 98 firestorm, new owner

Thanks. The oil leak was just grease or oil off the chain where it had dropped off after riding to work. I think for the first few days the slightest thing I’m going to assume the worse.

Re: 98 firestorm, new owner

Thanks and I’ll sort a bin picture later. Rode the bike to work this morning, all fine and very happy with it but just walked past it in the car park and noticed a drop of oil next to the side stand and a small amount of oil on the top of the stand itself. Looks like I’m going to be investigating it...

Re: 98 firestorm, new owner

Ah right the bin is on the other side of the drive but If you look at the bottom left that bit of board is over the man hole in the drive, parked the car on it and it broke the cover. Waiting for the new cover to arrive to swap it over. I’m working tomorrow so looking forward to the 25 mile ride to ...

Re: 98 firestorm, new owner

Ok will order some this weekend and look up a guide to change them. There is a rubber spacer under the tank but it’s abit lower than what I’ve seen on images of vtrs on google.

Re: 98 firestorm, new owner

Thanks. That is one of the first jobs on the list. Although it’s all quiet at the minute. How can you tell? The only technical knowledge I have of the firestorm is what I’ve read on here the last week.
