CHEAP K5 SV for sale

[Somerset Dave]

1 owner, me!

Why a SV650s? Great first bike if you have just passed your test. I am including the 33bhp restricted ECU in this package to allow instant bike restriction. I will show you how to install upon inspection. It's also a great sports tourer. Very snappy in corners and a joy to ride.

Why My SV650s?!
It has the following great additions:
>Remus Revolution titanium exhaust (baffle included)
>Armstrong front brake discs
>New chain and sprocket set
>Carbon fiber tail tidy kit
>Rear seat cowl
>Full new tires
>8 months tax
>8 Months MOT
>Service History
>Rear grab handle
>Original Exhaust pipe included
>Original tail kit
>Original Grab Handel

Specs:
Total Mileage = 17432
hp= 75 (book value, mine is higher due to exhaust)
new Tire mileage = 400 miles (only just run in)
new chain mileage = 400 miles ( only just run in)

Why on earth would I sell this?!
It's time for me to move on, looking for a K8 GSXR750. I've had this bike from new, straight after I passed my test. It was run in extra well due to
two years under restriction.Mileage is low and it is breaking my heart to sell.

Pssst... What's the price? :)

[Somerset Dave]

That, being a very good point. Deserves an answer.

I want £2000.

Higher BHP due to the chain?!

[Somerset Dave]

The ratio is the same as standard. The chain is tighter so the losses from the old are reduced. The ride as a result is smoother and more efficient.

[stuR]

In the logic, if you start off with 75 bhp and the knackerded chain takes it under that, then adding a fresh chain will take it back to 75, not beyond that surely? Just curious..

[Somerset Dave]

Its not been dynod but there is a noticeably better feel from the bike. It accelerates more smoothly than when it was standard. Gear change is also less clunky.

[Somerset Dave]

Either way, standard losses are reduced, so you're getting more bang for your buck

[DarrenSV650S]

So how tight have you made this chain? Did you measure the slack?

The placebo effect adds lots too ;)

[Somerset Dave]

I tested the chain through a series of thought experiments where the chain is simultaneously slack and loose. And to a lesser extent a cat is dead inside a box with a radio active source.. or is it?!

hello schrodinger, i would like to offer you an indeterminate amount of money, confided in a place hidden from view

[Somerset Dave]

If this place were to be view able. At the instance of viewing, how much would be in the box?!

Maybe a 520 conversion?
