Being a recent convert to twins (love my sv650 mini twin) - I fancied a Firestorm for a while and this one fell in my lap - its a 2000 bike but had a lot of mids. - 2022 body work/ clocks/ 19l tank mod - Giles rear sets +. Wilber shock and fork re-valved + MCT's. - looking forward to tinkering further - I've got some spare callipers off a 954 Fireblade are they an improvement over stock?

Welcome aboard
You have a lovely looking bike there
Looking at the photo, it already has upgraded front brake calipers, not OEM stock,

Re: Finally got a Firestorm
welcome along sir, nice bike and as said it already has blade/cbr600 calipers fitted, you could fit a 6mm shock spacer, makes them steer more like a modern bike
the older i get,the faster i was

Re: Finally got a Firestorm
Hello and welcome to the forum
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN
Re: Finally got a Firestorm
Thanks for the welcome - checked brakes and it’s also got the 954 master cylinder mod - thought the brakes seemed good- only done 26k but has the surging on steady throttle issue - after extensive reading on the forum going plug change then TPS check - if still an issue it’s off with the carbs and into the ultrasonic cleaner.

With the 954 master cylinder and brake calipers you have a very good set-up thereHarveyz wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 8:45 pm Thanks for the welcome - checked brakes and it’s also got the 954 master cylinder mod - thought the brakes seemed good- only done 26k but has the surging on steady throttle issue - after extensive reading on the forum going plug change then TPS check - if still an issue it’s off with the carbs and into the ultrasonic cleaner.
