Hi all, I've just joined today after becoming the owner of a brand new black sv650s as of sept 30th(I took advantage of Suzuki's great September offer-£1 discount for every 1cc).
I've ridden bikes for 16yrs, I actually traded in my '02 plate Suzuki Bandit 1200 against the sv!
It was recommended by a knowledgable friend who rode an sv650 for a trip abroad, and he couldn't speak highly enough of them.
But being the first ever bike I've bought new came a dilemma. How to run it in. I've basically followed the manual, ie max 5k-ish revs and no full throttle but not babying it either. And no constant cruising. It's now just clocked 200miles and looking good.
Searching the Internet throws up all kinds of contradictory opinions how to run an engine in, it's mind boggling!!!
Anyway, i thought I say hi, and hopefully you'll see me around here often!
