I'm glad you had good weather, I also thought it would be close racing going by the practice times. I would liked to have seen it on telly had it been on, as I live so far away,
cheers Chris.

Hi All,
I could hardly believe my eyes, in MCN this week they have done a write up on the Firestorm, actually stating it as a "top value buy" I thought the report on it also pretty fair although to short. Whats your view?
cheers Chris.

Nice one Tony, Mind you most things like water cooled, shaft drive, vee twins, triples, vertical twins, single cylinders, multi-cylinders, over head cam's, steering dampers just to name a few, were all British inventions, unfortunetley these idea's were taken by different m/cycle companies and perfe...

It sounds like it is coming from the thermostat housing, if your bike is one of the earlier models that did happen from time to time, just keep your eye on the coolant level, you shouldn't be loosing enough to notice a drop in level. On the later models (mine included 99 model) Honda fitted a piece ...

Hi Skatrekker,
Just curious mate, what type/make of plug had the electrode burnt away from?
cheers Chris.

Hi All, Daz (aka Stormsmasher) said on here somewere that he sold the Mario fairing. Here is a picture of Yellafella's bike which has a PYRAMID PLASTICS lower fairing! (I hope you Yellafella don't object to me useing your picture) http://www.abercon.co.uk/vtr1000/gallery/1034.jpg This picture is of ...

Hi Katman, I enjoyed looking at your "nutter or what" as you put it video, it was very well filmed. The only thing I thought was a little odd was at the point when the bike passed oncoming traffic like the van for instance, when he was well over the ton i'd have thought at the actual passi...

Kaz wrote Although it doesn't feel like it all the time.....but sometimes its as if the forks are loose/rocking back and forth.......like I said tho...it doesn't feel like this all the time.....mainly on braking gently. Any other ideas???[Quote] Hi Kaz, It could be anything really from a sticking pi...

Hi Kaz,
Its more likely tyre pressures are low if its been of the road for a while,
cheers Chris.

Hi Myrtos,
Welcome on board.
Have you checked the rear wheel bearings and swingarm bearings, just because it is felt at the front end does not necessarily mean its a front end problem.
cheers Chris.

Hi Bob,
I should have said Welcome to the site, I think you'll find very good support for your Firestorm here, I know I have and have a bit of fun as well,
cheers Chris.

The bellypan in that picture is a Pyramid Plastics, this is their site

Hi Daz mate, How did you get on when insuring your well modified VTR Firestorm. VFR swingarm, Ducati front end, Mario full fairing and seat unit, special Art underseat exhaust just to mention a few of the cracking modifications that you have carried out. Its a crying shame you have to strip it down!...

To anybody who might be interested, Recently I changed the handlebars on my 1999 T Reg Storm to the newer ones which are black not metalic silver. They will fit with the same (16ltr) fuel tank and they clear the fairing. I compared the old and new ones when both off the bike. The only difference I c...

I'm glad to hear that Rich, at least the old greymatter is still working which is a bonus,
cheers Chris.
