Yup, sounds about right. I've just been to Cornwall and back and was getting about 90 miles from fill up to orange light of doom. That was with about 18 stone of me and luggage sat at around a ton-ish/5500-6000 rpm pretty much most of the way. Word of warning, don't sail past the services when you'v...

Spacers are in the right sides. It's definitely the right fork lower caliper mounts that are bent. It's like the face that the allen bolts seat onto have twisted. The caliper sits in the right place right up until I nip up the bolts at which point the caliper then twists. The aluminium of the fork l...

I've discovered the cause of mine. The right hand caliper isn't sitting correctly. It's either the caliper is bent or the fork lugs are bent as it sits twisted over. A quick look at the old pads shows that they are worn at an angle. The new pads were only touching at the top on one side and the bott...

Blast from the past....

Had my storm for 13 years and never had anything like it and I've gone through quite a few sets of pads! What about the discs themselves. You ...

Mine's black but if it sounded nice it probably wasn't me!

Hi Penfold, welcome to the forum :thumbup: You've made me realise I've had my Storm for just over 12yrs :D How did you go about setting the correct tension for the standard CCT when fitting the new spring :?: Chris. I took the rear one off that hadn't snapped and my mate put it in some fancy machin...

welcome and hello . how have you found living with the vtr for 13 years ? I can't see me ever selling it TBH. It fits me really well, more than fast enough to scare me silly sometimes and handles great for the way I ride. It's had a few modifications over the years but nothing too extreme. The head...

There is still time to get on the Op Storm Yorkshire Dales ride out

Thanks but I'm going to the "Love Your Nuts" rally that weekend

I have the same problem. New pads, chamfered the leading edge, smear of copperslip on the shims, all pistons moving freely etc etc but they still squeal and judder like a bstd at slow speeds or light pressure. They''re fine if I hit them quite firmly at speed but any gentle pressure gets them scream...

Hello guys

Just a quickie to say hello, I have a V reg black VTR which I've owned for 13 years.
