Morning

Just a quick hello from here in the Antipodes - expat originally from Wales (don't hold it against me :lol: ), moved over 8 years ago.

Fairly normal ownership history, including gen1/2 Fazer 600/1000, Bandit 650, Vstrom DL1000 and my two favourties, Sprint GT and an Aprilia Falco. Haven't had a bike for a few years and have been yearning after another twin and so recently purchased (what I believe) is a superb example of a firestorm - 2006 with only one owner, clearly it was his baby :clap: quite high mileage (100k km), but it was a steal :thumbup:

Will post up more pics after the weekend, here is a taster :thumbup:

I've already seen various tips and tricks here that I will undoubtedly be asking you experts about :cool2 I'm pretty handy with a spanner, rebuilding the FZS1000 and doing all minor/major maintenance (and of course, fettling) myself!

Cheers for now,

Thanks for the welcome :thumbup:

What are the three things I should check, change, upgrade?

I've read a bit about the CCT and regulator... :Beer Popcorn:
