Btw! I am moving back to Northern Ireland so I will be selling the storm soon:

any takers!?

So I was out today on the bike and the indicators just started working!
I am thinking the contacts must have got a little damp from sitting in the garage over the winter. Nothing a little electrical insulation grease won't fix.

I'll PM you.

That would be great, thanks man.

Cheers, I'll keep that in mind.

I tested the cables on the lhs switchgear and they are all getting power so I am thinking it might be the flasher relay.

Anyone by chance know which relay type I should get for a 1999 VTR1000f?

As far as I gather the horn is on the same circuit but the horn is working fine.

Hello again, I was hoping you guys can offer some more sage advice? Recently replaced the 30amp fuse...

Thanks very much chaps, I got the little bugger:

I was fitting a new battery when a precariously placed spanner dropped and hit both terminals causing a short. Out tomorrow to get a new one.

Heres hoping the fuse blew before it damaged anything else.

Yeah, thats where it was on my old storm but I am not seeing any 'red cover/plug'. The only red i see there is on the cover of the positive battery terminal, which is of course not it.

Hello there, I bought another storm 6 months ago, its been running great but I iv blown the 30amp fuse for the starter solenoid. Seems to be a very different wiring setup to my last storm and i can't locate the dam fuse :confused I was hoping you fine folks can give me some tips to where it might be...

Found a post here where someone else seems to be getting the same problem:

one of the solutions is to look at the 'clutch plate is too close for engagement.' I ill have to look into how to adjust the plates.

Thanks chaps. I'm going to strip it down at the weekend again but last week when I did it the plates looked in good shape and push-rod seemed clean enough. Cylinder levels are fine but Going to take your advice and drain the cylinders to see if there is some air in there that could be the cause. Car...

I will certainly try but the sound quality on my phone camera is dire, so not sure it will pick it up over the exhausts but ill give it a shot tomorrow.

Hello, I was hoping someone could give me advice on a problem which I cant quite pinpoint but I believe my be related to the clutch in some way. Before I explain I would just like to note that this only ever seems to be a occur when the bike is cold and in first gear but I can change gears no proble...

Aye, I think I will order those Philips ones this week. Do you see what I mean by the rainbow effect with these ones? Do yous think it will cause any bother with the law using the ones I just fitted?

Here is some pics, as promised: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32439912/bike%20light/2012-10-12%2013.12.10.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32439912/bike%20light/2012-10-12%2013.12.14.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32439912/bike%20light/2012-10-12%2013.12.19.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32439912/bike%20light/2012-1...
