Storm burned
Well it caught an electrical fire and burned for a bit in traffic today before I could find enough water from the college girls standing around scared to death to put it out. Looks like it got all of the electrical system under the tank. I’m on foot without it and considering another “Chonda” because of the price and how things like the pipe and speedometer will swap over. 16,000 miles is what I got out of it.

Sorry to hear about your bike. Any idea of the cause?

Electrical, it seems like the plug end of the spark plug wire, the coil is where it started. It’s burned up everything related to wiring made of plastic under the tank.

I’m going to try and find something like a used DR Z and put the faithful Storm back together piece by piece this winter. I almost ordered a Hawk DLX tonight but the forks and swingarm are a minus. The fuel injection however would be pretty cool in my book.

I would pull the cover and check the stator, the reg/rec harness looks like it got the worse of it so it could have shorted and taken out the stator. peace has the brozz harness's listed for $40, they should be fairly close since they are both Bashan bikes.

Do you still have the link in your Amazon orders section? I replaced the OEM coil last year because it’s so sun degraded, the replacement took out my Tac but gave me a N light. I went back to the original. Hopefully I can get everything working OEM compatible again.

if I had to guess... I would say it was likely a rub through short.
Sucks that it happened, but at least you were able to stop the fire from taking out the whole bike

I had a little self inflicted fire. I didn’t secure my aftermarket usb wire correctly and it touched the exhaust.
Smoke and flames everywhere until I put it out. So there is also that way to start a fire.

I used 1 of these...though prices seem to have gone up a bit since I bought mine. Might be found cheaper in the USA elsewhere.

Welp I got my hands on a DR650. Believe it or not I’m doing the exact same thing now as we’ve all had to do with the China bikes. Chasing jets, taking apart the carb 10 times, checking bolts, trashing filters, changing oil, researching digital clusters, looking for better bars and grips.. the tires are 705’s so gotta buy knobbies soon, the pipe and air filter has to be upgraded etc etc etc. The headlight is weak and the speedo doesn’t light up and there’s no passenger pegs or decent skid plate or tail rack. Top speed is only like 70+ and I can’t find the correct pilot jet size to buy lol.
Literally everything is the same except it costs way more on the JPN bike. Ouch. The photo is from after pushing it home the day I rode it to work. Turns out they forgot to put the vacuum line back on the tank.. which like a China bike has a leaky gas cap if you fill it too much.. .
