Hi Rod and welcome,

The r/r is the regulator/rectifier which has been changed on yours. The originals were flat and overheated causing charging issues.

Hope you enjoy the storm.

Re: What Tyres are you on ????

They reckon the diamond cut helps to produce a bigger footprint as the pattern squishes, also putting more heat into the tyre. It has been noted that you can feel the tyre "moving" a little as the diamonds compress but once used to it shouldn`t be a problem. It was this last point that mad...

Re: What Tyres are you on ????

I`m running Maxxis Supermax Sports back and front on the Storm and also a set on the GSXR. IMHO a superb tyre that has never given me any cause for concern. Stick like sh*t to a blanket in the dry (although must admit I haven`t pushed them in the wet) I think the reason a lot of people pass on them ...

Re: simoncelli down at sepang

Truly a sad loss. He had a very bright future ahead of him and a championship contender for sure. Thankyou for entertaining us over the years and thoughts are with friends and family. R.I.P.Marco

Thoughts also go out to Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi who were caught up in this tragedy.

Re: Exhaust Gaskets

Nigel,

Use thread lock if you like but as a minimum lock two nuts onto the studs and use them to screw the studs tight into the head before you fit the exhaust.

Re: `Storm or SP ?

Encee, I became an "accidental" V twin owner a couple of months ago when I swapped one of my bikes for a Storm. I was hooked after the first ride, so much so that last week I was lucky enough to find an SP1 for a good price and now I have both :D In my short time of ownership I have found ...
