2000 SV650S
- 20K miles, will increase slightly
-MOT til 22nd March, I can get an MOT put on it after 22nd Feb.
- Tax til end of August
I've had it since Sept 2010, major service done March 2010 at (16000 miles - valve clearances were checked and well within tolerance) by a bike mechanic family friend, since then I've done the servicing every year, usually in March/April time as I get the bike ready for summer. It hasn't had a service this year but all fluids were replaced last year and brakes cleaned. It will just need an oil and filter change doing sometime this year.
Good Points it has:
New tyres: Pretty much new Michelin Pilot Road 3's fitted in June time following a puncture - one of the best sports touring tyres around. They've covered roughly 1500 miles and have plenty of life in them yet, they're barely worn.
Scott oiler: It has a scott oiler fitted, which automatically oils your chain as you ride, prolonging chain life. I've never used it on the bike but I've got a bottle of oil for the scottoiler if you wish to use it, which I will throw in with the bike.
Spare exhaust: It has a blueflame end can which sounds pretty awesome and is quite loud, I have no baffles for it so it won't go through an MOT with it fitted, but sounds awesome for when out on the road. Standard can also included and is currently fitted. Swapping exhausts takes about 15-20 mins, it's just a matters of a couple of bolts and sliding the new can on. This will be included for around my asking price
Upgraded front springs: Hagon (I believe - fitted by prev owner) progressive springs fitted
Front brake pads (EBC sintered pads for better performance). In sealed packaging but I'll throw these in if I get around my asking price.
Spare clear original screen if you don't like the tinted screen fitted.
R&G Crash bungs
I think that's all of it!
Bad points:
Crack on both sides where the indicator hole is on the fairing, due to me dropping the bike twice in the first week of having it, I wasn't used to the weight of the bike at the time. Immediately went and purchased R&G crash bungs mentioned about and I've never dropped it since, but in the event of a drop, the bungs will take the brunt of the fall. The cracks aren't very noticeable as the indicators are in the way.
Slight dent in the tank - this tank is off another SV and the dent is only visible at certain angles, you'll probably struggle to see it on pics (it's by the 'Z' on the right hand side of the bike). The original tank rusted through as this bike was sat in a garage for 5 years unused by the previous owner. The previous owner bought this tank and fitted it, it is the same colour and is a genuine Suzuki tank.
Slight scrape on the original exhaust - caught it slightly on my brick garage as I was trying to put it back in the garage. The scratch doesn't rust or anything, just some small (about 2.5cm long) marks on the can.
Slight grase on the nosecone, not down to the primer though, could be repaired - this happened when the bike was parked at british superbikes. I think someone scraped past it with their bag.
Could do with new fork oil - advisory on last years MOT - I've never had a problem with the fork in the past year, I've been quoted £100 to have new fork oil fitted by my mechanic.

it does have a pillion seat by the way!
No test rides without proof of insurance and asking price in my hand in cash. Will be updating post with brand new and better photos this weekend - current pic above was taking a couple of weeks ago when I last rode it.
