Re: Black Storm rising
Baby steps... I installed last night a Crampbuster from Scottoiler. Haven't yet tested it, but it seems to be worth of the money. We'll see... On another hand, I bought new air filter and spark plugs. Darn they were expensive! Stupid me, I didn't ask the price at the counter and the filter was 35€...

Re: Black Storm rising
Small fix saved lot's of trouble. The small fix in suspension made big difference. My hands were totally killing me while driving with the leaked front fork. Since there was practically no oil in the forks it was soft as 15 minutes spaghetti. So I needed to squeeze the handles so hard that my finger...

Black Storm rising
The black Storm is rising and thunder will hit the streets. The Storm with wind and fire and a smell of burning gasoline. I got my bike from one dubious gentleman without any service or repair history. The only bit of history I know (this far) is that it was imported from Belgium and held in garage ...

Re: Engine dies after overtaking
When was it last serviced ? 8) The answer is: I don't have a clue. I just got the bike and I don't even know the previous owner (the bike was imported to here with one dubious gentleman - legally thou). The engine seems to be ok, but there is quite a list of things to be done. I really hope I don't ...

Engine dies after overtaking
I finally managed to make a longer trip with Storm. Which was nice, but 200km's is a real pain for the butt... Anyway, I noticed (actually this was second time when it happened) that when I overtake a car and accelerate rapidly (lets say 3-4 gear) up to 140km/h (roughly) and when returning back to m...

Re: fork springs (again)
I hope I don't break much of the forum etiquette, but I have some innovative questions. (Innovative is a nicer word for "stupid".) I did read through the knowledge base section, so majority of the RTFM part has been done. (and one of the pdf manuals is downloading, but that is huge even fo...

On the road again!
After 8 long years... Long depressing years, without no light, clear sky or warm weather. And all that time the storm was rising. It was always there, but it needed long time until it gained strength from the winds blowing from the open roads. And the storm arrived with a blast, smell of burning rub...
