Re: OMO - bike security for public car park?

Xena does nice and loud alarmed disk locks. The main point is to make your bike more difficult to nick than the bike next to it. All depends what is there at the same time.

Re: Scottoiler and SV650AL7 questions

Your bike should have the same swingarm as Gladius so you should be able to use the SFV650 fitting instructions. I have single sided injector fitted under the paddock stand bobbin on Gladius. If you...

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...

Re: What is she worth

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

Think about what happened just before the problem started. Clutch, kill switch, side stand switch... As Craig380 has suggested I bet it is an electrical gremlins on something you touched while you...

Re: Which chain and sprocket set?

I'm pretty sure your bike runs 520 chain - Haynes manual should confirm that and also it might be stamped on the chain links of your existing chain. For example my SFV650 is on 520 but Vstrom 650...

Re: Which chain and sprocket set?

520, 525 and 530 are not interchangeable - they run on different sprockets. Heavy duty commonly stands for different structure of the chain (for example thicker side plates).
