VTR1000.ORG

Hi all I know that this is the workshop forum BUT i must say that it really is good to see that the site is back up and running. I`ve been like a fish out of water waiting, no hoping that VTR1000.org would come back to us. Sounds a bit poncy i know but just my way of saying welcome back all, good lu...

Hi All and All the best for Christmas & New Year Just put one side of a set of white number back grounds on the seat cowl/ side panel of my storm and have managed to get some small air bubbles under them. I`ve tried pricking them with a pin and then smoothing them out but this didn`t work. Any i...

Hi All Rick is right, got a set of blue flame cans and a 15 tooth front sprocket and boy does she wheelie now. DONT keep it pinned in first or you WILL flip it.

I`ve just replaced the front sprocket for a smaller one but on doing so managed to pull out the clutch push rod and now the cluch lever seems to have a lot of play in it and it bites really early. My question is could something have fallen out on the clutch basket side or am i just being paranoid. A...

Nice one Pete.L
i read what you had to say about starting the vtr with the choke in at first as i have also been having problems getting the bloody thing to start. The bike was last started last weekend but doing as you said she fired up after only a couple of turns so cheers mate

Has anyone had a problem with their side lights and clock lights coming on when they pull their front brake. Just noticed that mine is doing this. Any advice/help would be appreciated.
