Newbie Says Hello and starts of with a crash bung question
 

Hi all,

Brand new user -

Did my DAS in March & have been riding a Honda Rebel since my CBT. Been getting fed up at being burned off by mopeds at traffic lights on the daily commute between work & home so it's time for an upgrade.

Picking up my SV650 s 01 later on today. Hooray!!!! In a stand out from the crowd Yellow.

Now, crash bungs. I need them. Only got short legs and I can see me gonig side ways into a moped at the aforementioned traffic lights. What sor of bungs should I get? Can I fit them? (I've no mechanical experience but I can change a light bulb!). What tools do I need? Cost? Whereabouts on hte bike do they go?

Thanks in advance!

p.s. if you do see a yellow sv650 falling over on the A3 stop & help me!

Hi and welcome to the forum, i would go for the r&g ones probably the best ones around the instructions are pretty easy to follow aslong as you have some spanners and a socket set to hand

Well done on the test and choosing the best colour - shame about the plastic bit stuck on the front though :wink: :D

Cool. Cheers! :o)

It's almost too easy. (Oh, dear. Did I really say that...)

Welcome!!

Hi and welcome.

have a read of this thread about bungs.

I've got R & G's on both my bikes. But theres plenty of choice. As for fitting I think its pretty straight forward. I got my dealer to do mine as I didnt want to chance having to use the bungs and then finding I hadnt fitted them properly.

HTH

Has anyone tried the offical suzuki ones?

Liz had them on her K5, they are utterly and totally sh*t. The brackets bend / break at the weld and then the bungs fold and dont save your bike from damage.

well that solves that :)

Ahoy & avast me hearty!!
