I ordered my Storm 150 DLX from Powersports Max, took about seven business days to reach me in Tampa, Florida. Most of that time it sat in the carriers local warehouse waiting for a truck to load and deliver it. Received it in great condition, still in the process of going over it and assembling but the heat in my garage is making that difficult. When I have time to work on it, it's 90 degrees even with a drum fan going. Waiting on an amended MSO saying "motorcycle" instead of "off-road motorcycle" so I can register it on the road here.



I have put a 16 tooth front sprocket on it, that shifter from Mike's video and I have some Honda clutch springs for it too. Waiting on my knock off Yosh MJN carb to mount that up.

She’s arrived!

I’m amazed at how well MaxPro/XPro packages these things and how good a job R+L Carriers did getting it to me birthmark free. I too have the aftermarket shifter recommended by Mike Festiva. I also purchased an RK natural chain (120 links) and a 16 tooth countersprocket. Interestingly, the rear wheel bearings were well greased and the front wheel bearings were bone dry. Thus, I repacked them and then tightened the spokes. This weekend I’ll adjust the valves, change to Rotella T4, do a few heat cycles and an initial break-in, then I’ll probably balance the wheels.

I think it was only a matter of time that the days of shoddy packaging these bikes and the resulting claims and associated costs forced them to package them up to proper standards to save money in the long run.
