    Hi just new to forums and to the Blade. Is a whole new experience after a V twin but enjoying the experience loads ! Is there anything to cause big concern I should look at like the cam tensioner and regulator/rectifier problems previously highlighted about my last ride ?

    Welcome to the forum mate, there are the odd problem areas like you mentioned but these haven't affected my rr5 in the 4 years of ownership it's only a few models if its working then ride it :D

    Hi, glad to hear no real potentially fatal flaws with blade. I had a 99 firestorm (still have it and need to find it a new home yet), loved it, to hear that sound every time u twisted to throttle ! Llive not far from Armagh so lots of laps of the Tandragee 100 course done on a frequent basis ! Cheers for the welcome !
