Not yet, but I will be. When I had the tank up recently to balance the carbs it was bluddy filthy. The bike looks reasonable on the "outside" but I know it is minging under the surface.

This weekend it's gonna get some well needed TLC. :love:

[Viney]

Yeah, only 'cuase im selling it :D

[Iansv]

[fizzwheel]

[Sid Squid]

It doesn't look like this anymore, it's mostly back together now, but I've got a few things to finish off first, a couple more new bits 'n bobs, then it'll get a proper clean.

How many mods can you make to an SV?

[zx6man]

Voted No....coz it never gets dirty.....

[wyrdness]

I threw a bucket of water over it yesterday. Does that count?

I haven't spring cleaned it yet, but that's a job for this weekend.

Sid Squid

How many mods can you make to an SV?

Well, I started with a smaller but more powerful and torquier* motor, then I added better, more adjustable suspension, (Ohlins rear shock, Ohlins springs and modded dampers up front), and better brakes, after that I decided the original frame wasn't up to the job, and then to suit that different bodywork was fitted, then I thought it could do with a paint-job, and finally I wrote a cooler name on the side of the tank.

Oh and the original clocks don't have a...erm...clock, so I got a set that tell the time too.

:lol:




*Yes it is before anyone regurgitates the old chestnut about fours having no torque - The ZX6 makes more, but to be fair, the SV curve is flatter.

[Carsick]

Will get a clean when the salt is off the roads. Until then it's all just damage limitation with wd40 and hosing the salt off.

[Bud]

Have kept mine clean throughout the winter, but have just noticed some black paint flaking (but can't remember where now...somewhere near the engine!!).

[hall13uk]

i have spring cleaned my bike used two cans of chain cleaner :shock: pleantly of wd40 & loads of autoglym its now "glyming" inside and out

[Sid Squid]

Ian, the Ninja is definitely looking like it could do with a few accessories to finish it off, wheels 'n such! :lol:

Wheels :!:

Of course :!: -*slaps forehead*- I knew there was something.

Note to self: Get some wheels.

[fizzwheel]

Can I change my vote, I scrubbed mine this morning its nice and clean again now

[bluebell]

Hubby gave mine a quick wash today for me does that count.

Mines all clean and sparkly, i even bought her a present a lovely new little number plate instead of the huge monstrosity that she was wearing. She looks gorgeous. \:D/

[22]

NO............ridden mina through the winter so gets cleaned regulary? anyway

[wheelnut]

Cleaned it :?:

Yes, I have!

I took it down the road to blow some dust off it :P

[northwind]

Mine got thoroughly cleaned on thursday, then again today... It really needed it :) it was filthy when I got laid up and it's got worse since, but I couldn't move it till now so it had to sit and fester. I don't think it's been so clean since the day I bought it, and I'm still not done :) I'll get the rear off tomorow and get the shock out while I'm at it I think, get in there and clean up all the really manky bits that never see daylight ( :shock: )

To the dirty minded: "It" in this post means "my bike".

[Moo]

Gave the bike a good clean at the begining of March after riding to Scotchland and back. :lol:
