[leemole]

what for:confused:

screen, belly pan and rad cover :p

[Alpinestarhero]

The baffle is out, it dosnt seem as loud on the video, perhaps my dads digital camera has something on the mic to cap the volume level off? Not sure, it still sounds fruity though.

Could be worse hovis, i could ride a hon*a :p

Matt

[Demonz]

[DarrenSV650S]

Stop tickling it and REV the poor thing!!!!:rolleyes:
Makes me wanna go out to the garage and hear a fuel exhaust being PROPERLY used. Oh man it sounds sweet high up the revs:mrgreen:

[Alpinestarhero]

I'm not giving it the berries while the engine is cold!

And hovis, that idea is out of my head

I want an SP1/sp2

Think you might be out of luck then - theres only 20 listed in auto trader, all of which are asking over £4.5k or have crash damage (and in one case, both).

I wouldn't recommend it as a winter hack either, mind.

[thedonal]

Nice one!

And what a big grin you have!!!

No? Be quite reliable :D

I might get a yamaha YBR125 as a winter hack, i passed my test on one and was quite impressed by it when I rode it after using a CG125

And thedonal, I was happy, and still AM happy :D t'was a good xmas present, even if i did buy it myself

Matt

[Alpinestarhero]

My dd took this little video as I rode off to test my new sound:

Again, I didnt cane it as the engine was cold, but still...phwoaaarrrrr

Matt

Only thing that video said to me was "Wheres my drill?"

Looks like I've got 3 jobs on my christmas holiday things to do list now - baffle removal, clean under fairing (so I can attack the front downpipe properly) and fit that Steibel horn I got a couple of months ago.

[Alpinestarhero]

Bafffle removal is very important; is yours a rivet? drill it out then put a small nut and bolt on the baffle, and keep it under your seat, just in case

Matt

[orose]

Its exactly the same as yours, hence the power tool hunt later on. Definatly a rivet, and I also have a dad on hand if required.

[Alpinestarhero]

Ah, i see. I got the next one up, where the baffle is secured in with a bolt. Drilling out the rivet shouldnt be too hard though? just be careful :D

My dad is always about when I do anything to my bike too, lol
