Re: SV feels rough, when rolling off the throttle
One easy but worthy test would be to check whether you have any air leaks around throttle bodies. I use Start Pilote to spray on the throttle bodies and rubbers outside and if the revs go up you know...

Re: Green coolant - what brand?
Really only yellow metal part could be the thermostat, and perhaps some sealing washers on plugs, neither of which would cause any catastrophic failure if they corrode. You will be fine with any...

I have a Gladius for similar use, similar mileage and similar age. The plan is to do 100K on it and sell it to breakers afterwards. Did that with my CBR600F and got £700 from the breakers. That's...

Re: Bike won't start
