![]() Old post but I weighed my track '00 SV700, 169.6Kg fully wet. 166Kg without fairing. Weight without the fairing was almost scarily even, 83Kg front and back. It's not impossible but it would... |

![]() It is entirely possible that they were not freshly bored but were "re-used". New pistons not really needed with a fresh rebore as long as they're in spec, you do need new rings though (and you should... |

![]() There were no matching witness marks on the pistons so I'm somewhat at a loss. I didn't pay for the original big bore "work" but someone paid £1800 for it >10 years ago. I'd be pretty ****ed off... |

![]() No point, I picked up a pair of barrels off ebay for £20 and got a fresh rebore on them. I've no use for a spare set and if required I'd just do the same again. Especially as I have an a engine just... |

![]() For closure... I ended up getting a "new" set of barrels bored out and new rings as well as new valve stem seals. Seems to have cured it of its oil drinking excess. |

![]() You would have thought so but it's not noticeably smoky. I would have expected it to be laying down a smokescreen worthy of the rolling coal boys but nothing to be seen. A bit less than a litre... |

![]() Yep! :) The *really* crazy bit is when I turbo it. Cheaper but not by a lot and postage + duty is a killer. Trouble is I want to see them first before buying 8, as new that's £360! They look as... |

![]() Cheers Dave, that's slightly disappointing, I was hoping it was going to be the same as the TLR (about 61mm) Afraid its not SV or even v-twin related, more V8 related. :) |

![]() About time! Strangely enough I had to swap the fuel pump on mine recently too. Still mine did have ~74k on it so it had a good life! (plus I already had a spare). |

![]() Mine did. 10.5k in top, bike in front (VTR1000) was indicating 145[1]. Druid [1] The speedo I had at the time stopped registering properly at 65, fine for legal use, useless for 100+! :-) |
