[jim@55]

lovely ,more torque than b4 , :wink: clean as a whistle ,well by my standards :wink:

[kwak zzr]

its been well looked after but not ridden :roll: only 2100 miles on the clock! the autosol and wd40 is out already! just need to decide when to remove them fairing lowers :?

[Razor]

Nice bike Mistah! Even if it is quite filthy :wink:

[dirtydog]

Nice and your favourite colour to!

[valleyboy]

aftermarket cans as well :twisted: nice!

[kwak zzr]

3 sv's in my garage now, well 2 and a half :roll:

[jonboy]

That's nice, and the used tube of Autosol gives a special touch ;).

[falc]

Looks very nice mate, glad you got a bike to polish up now :lol:

[kwak zzr]

yea just gotta get the smashed one sorted out :roll:

[kwak zzr]

it feels very simalair to the 650 just not as buzzy at high speeds, the steering damper takes some getting used to because the steering feels slow.

[Richie]

Glad you all happy again and have got something nice to polish.. :wink:

[Jdubya]

... only 2100 miles on the clock!...

:shock: :shock: That engine has not even been run-in yet! :shock: :shock: How lucky are you m8 :wink: Was it owned by one careful old lady who only took it out on sunny sundays for tea, scones and jam :?:

[fizzwheel]

Nice. 8)

[mattSV]

Very 8)

Welcome to the big v-twin club :wink:

[Stingo]

:smt045 I lurrrve those two zorsts......yummmm

[Ed]

Didn't think it'd take you long to get back on 2 wheels :D

Bike's v nice. Looking forward to seeing it.

[Coddy_SV1000Z]

big boys bike :lol: ride safe matey

[kwak zzr]

i'll get some decent pic's posted tomorrow. :D

[gettin2dizzy]

how does it feel power wise? i can't believe the look of that shock :shock:

[kwak zzr]

low down it feels very simalir to the 650, the first noticable diff is the steering damper and the brakes, the steering on the 650 seems sharp where as on the 1000 is seems slow. the engine cc shows itself 70+mph the 650 is starting to get loud and reving high but the 1000 isnt.
ive only done about 50 miles on it so far so i'll be out on it today and learning more.

[kwak zzr]

oh and the tyres, ive always been used to the stock sv650 rubber where as the 1000 has pilot sports on (me thinks :oops: ) and this makes the bike feel more stable than the 650.

[Marshall]

shhweeeeeet!!!

get some more pics up dude!

[kwak zzr]

will do matey! your next :thumbsup:

[Marshall]

next year i hope to get my SV1000, i want a Bronze one!

but i need to win the lottery first

[kwak zzr]

i wouldn't rely to much on the lottery mate! i shouldn't of really had this one until the insurance decided what they were doing with the old one but i thought bugger it! :twisted:

[Supervox]

its been well looked after but not ridden :roll: only 2100 miles on the clock! the autosol and wd40 is out already! just need to decide when to remove them fairing lowers :?

Fancy only wanting to do half the job :shock:

The proper thing to do would be to remove the fairing entirely 8)

[kwak zzr]

ive got a 650 in the garage with all its fairing missing if thats anygood.

[Marshall]

i wouldn't rely to much on the lottery mate! i shouldn't of really had this one until the insurance decided what they were doing with the old one but i thought bugger it! :twisted:

im going to see how much cash ive got around my bday next year (Feb) and see what deals i can get (touch wood i "should" have a years no claims then aswell)

[kwak zzr]

new or used mate?

[Quiff Wichard]

nice kwak- welcome back matey !...

stormy petrel in the summer !!

[mattSV]

nice kwak- welcome back matey !...

stormy petrel in the summer !!

Kwak - Quiff loves SV1000s with noisy cans so make sure he gets a good earful for me :wink:

[kwak zzr]

mattsv need some advice on these microns that are fitted :? when i brought the bike the guy said it had road legal cans on (microns with a baffle in each) but i took the baffles out today and their just bits of tube with no real baffle in there? it passed the mot last wednesday and it dont sound that loud :?

[mattSV]

The baffles that came with my Remus cans are also 'tubes' that are normally inserted into the outlet - the end that goes into the can first is crimped/pressed together - I can take some pics tonight if that helps.

Not sure how the Micron baffles work but I would have thought they would be similar. I am not sure what difference putting the baffles into my cans would make as I have never bothered having them in there - all I (and Quiff :wink: ) know is that they are damn loud without the baffles - I would have thought that the Microns would be pretty loud as well with the baffles out :?

[kwak zzr]

these tubes i'm on about have no restriction in there? there just tubes :?

[Law]

8) Good to see you polishing(riding) a bike you can call your own.

[kwak zzr]

:D

[Treacle]

Very very nice bike there matey. :D

God I miss my old one. :cry:

[Skip]

Lovely looking bike mate, top choice! :)

these tubes i'm on about have no restriction in there? there just tubes :?
Thats all the baffle was in my CCC can...

[tricky]

Nice one, should look alright once you've cleaned it up a bit :wink:

PARDON ??

[kwak zzr]

any luck selling your bike quiff?

[Quiff Wichard]

aye up- not gone yet no.!
got a couple off the forum and I have seen an 04 R6 too .... that I nneeeeeeeeddd bad !!

[kwak zzr]

cant wait for you to cop an ear full of these microns :lol:

[kwak zzr]

this new sv needs an oil change, it had its first at 500miles in 2003 and now with only 2100 on the clock its still on the same oil. does oil degrade over time?

[Quiff Wichard]

I think it does..
but it wont do any harm to spend £25 and swop it over yersen will it ?

[kwak zzr]

going over HG in dudley on sat to get a service kit.

[Saint Matt]

Gorgeous mate! Really fun to ride arent they! Can't get enough of my mates thousand, its mad.

[The Basket]

Nice motah!

Betcha can't wait to open the throttle at 100mph and see what happens.

:evil:

Oil shouldn't degrade in time but water could have got into the sump and mixing with the oil.

Worth changing even for just the sake of it.

[kwak zzr]

better pic's now its stopped raining-

[Quiff Wichard]

wwhoooaaaa mate looks like shes gonna be cleaner than a clean thing !..

and the original clean thing was yer 650 silver..


its a credit to you-- that downpipe is awesome..!


crikey I thought I was bad kwak- wanting things tidy.. strewth !.. :D :lol:

[Coddy_SV1000Z]

what have you used to do the pipe mate? is it just wd40 and autosol? and plenty of :toss:

[kwak zzr]

sure is mate! autosol thats the stuff :D

[Coddy_SV1000Z]

cheers mate, got my next few nights sorted then lol, do the fairing lowers just unbolt off or are there little fiddly clips on them too?

[kwak zzr]

three bolts each side mate, i left the bottom connected together and sort of just slid the whole thing away from the bike. dead easy mate 10 mins. :D

[gettin2dizzy]

how do you clean the rear cylinder downpipe and rear shock? access is a bitch! my rear downpipe is rusty - bikes only a month old!

[kwak zzr]

rear shock comes clean easy with WD40 as for the rear header pipe :roll: it is a bitch! i just got to mine as best i could but it was still manky. its best to access these bits by removing the wheel and chain guard this makes it easyer but i'd wait until the wheel has to come out for some other reason first, if you do this just for cleaning purposes you'll get a reputation like me :D

[mattSV]

Looks like the mushrooms are Suzuki ones, which are generally considered to be ****e - have a serious think about changing them Kwak

[valleyboy]

As the subject has moved towards cleaning stuff.... :lol:

my radiator is caked in crap.... Id like to get it somewhat 'cleaner' than it is now... I will be getting the thing off the bike shortly, as it need s a coolant change, may as well do it then... is there anything I can use to clean the edges of it ? or anything I can spray the fins to get some of the crudd off ?

I note Castrol do a metal parts cleaner... would that be of any use ?

ta.

[kwak zzr]

cant really be of much help with radiators VB anything that touches them bends the fins.

[kwak zzr]

Looks like the mushrooms are Suzuki ones, which are generally considered to be sh*te - have a serious think about changing them Kwak

with the lowers on yea they are suzuki OE ones but with the lowers off there is some r and g fitted you can just see the alloy bit fitted in the picture and the guy that i had the bike off gave me the nylon r and g sliders to screw in. i'm having an argument with my wife at the mo because i like the lowers off and the OE belly pan on (which the seller gave me aswell) she likes the lowers :?

[valleyboy]

cant really be of much help with radiators VB anything that touches them bends the fins.

I'll be bending a load of them back in place shortly... :lol:

What about the sides of the rad.. just to get the crap off it.. autosols out of the questionas that will strip the laquer/paint thats there :lol:

[kwak zzr]

wd40 for the sides of the rad, with the fins its prob best to use a high pressure air line to clean that out.

[Luckypants]

Will guys listen to yourselves?? PMSL :smt005

[kwak zzr]

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

[Quiff Wichard]

Will guys listen to yourselves?? PMSL :smt005

LOL me too lucky

was laffin me head off.. like a load of old women ina knittin circle.

I DO think though that kwak will be the next face of cillit bang !!

[valleyboy]

Some of us like to keep our bikes clean ;)

Now, for some reason, I dont think you will find a bike with my mileage and as clean as mine ;)

[kwak zzr]

Will guys listen to yourselves?? PMSL :smt005



I DO think though that kwak will be the next face of cillit bang !!


:lol: :lol: :lol: your blue curvy dont clean its self mate :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Marshall]

maaan that looks sweet, i agree with you, sell the lowers and put the belly pan back on.

roll on next year, i want one (it will be 2nd hand and bronze i hope)

[kwak zzr]

i think bellypan :wink: i like to see the engine :D

[BLK SV]

Very nice, very clean!! Wouldn't wanna get it dirty if it was mine - poxy winter!!

[Cloggsy]

Nice mate ;)

[kwak zzr]

cheers cloggsy! you got a bike yet?

[Estie]

That is one good looking sv you got there :D

[Cloggsy]

cheers cloggsy! you got a bike yet?

Don't be silly :roll:

[kwak zzr]

whats taking you so long? i could only last 3 weeks without one :roll:

[Warthog]

Nice bike Kwak! Sorry I have been away for a while, moving house to Oxford. I personally vote lowers, but its up to you, looks great either way!

[kwak zzr]

thanks warthog.

[Alpinestarhero]

Thats a really nice looking bike, you did good there kwak!

How much?

I'd love an SV thou in a few years time, better than a tl1000s look-wise?

Matt

[kwak zzr]

i love the tl1000s :wink: but its hard to find a good one. i paid £3000 for my new sv1000s on a 53 plate, it was a little over priced but with only 2100 miles on the clock and most of the costly extra's already sorted i thought it was worth it, the extra bits on it tot up to about £1000 so I'm quite happy :D by the way if the next question is "how does it go" i went out on her the other night and it pulls ya flippin arms off in most gears :D i think i only used 1 - 4 :roll: the sv650s does handle better but the 1000 engine is a stonker!

[Cloggsy]

ohh yes shes coming-
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k120/kwak-zzr/frontpipe.jpg

That's more like it Kwak ;)

P.S. I'm still bikeless for two reasons...

1. Dosh

2. Dosh :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[kwak zzr]

you saving up for something nice or just looking for a cheapy?

[Beenz]

disgusting-

ohh yes shes coming-
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k120/kwak-zzr/frontpipe.jpg

You still have bird poo on the oill cooler engine hose bolt shocking! :wink:

[kwak zzr]

dam wheres the dremel. :D

[Quiff Wichard]

its not bird poo is it??

its torque marks or lock marks on the nuts .

[kwak zzr]

do you really think i'd let bird poo rest and set hard on my bike :wink:

[Quiff Wichard]

well- if a bird poo'd on my bike--
















I would'nt take her out again !!

[kwak zzr]

has your bike gone yet quiff?

[Quiff Wichard]

nope -

however- one viewer decided he would prefer a pointy..
and then- Mrs Quiff- is persuading me to keep it.. she says I enjoy it too much and I like the AR's and norf meets south abd the local staffs meets.
so I may keep her..


maye mrs Q has upped the insurance on me !????

[Razor]

What do you use to clean your bikes Kwack?

[kwak zzr]

where do you want me to start :wink:
first of all you have to understand that i dont ride her in the ****ty weather so i NEVER use water,
WD40 for all the metal engine parts and fasteners, AUTOSOL for the chrome or polished parts and then just a good car wax for the bodywork. the other important ingredients is plenty of elbow grease. :D
