Re: SV 650 K3 naked pointy. £1295

Thanks. It was never intended to be a keeper, it was just a long winter for me and I wanted a project to mess about with rather than sit in front of the TV each night. Thoroughly enjoyed sorting out...

I put a Venhill featherlight clutch cable on my SV. They dont use the bend the SV cable has and claim it to be a lighter action.

My vibration mainly affects my right hand. I do wonder if its...

Re: My first pointy

I've had a couple of SVs before, this being my first Pointy, but on every one I've suffered from numb fingers on my right hand. Its a well known, dare i say issue, on these bikes. If you google it...

Re: Anyone use a front paddock stand

I've never got on with those fork stands. I'm going to get a headstock stand. Safer and give you more capability.

Re: My first pointy

I don't know if anything else is different, so will just tape one outlet up and take the feed from the other one. I think that will be easiest and reversible should the next owner want to convert it...

Re: Curvy can't get first gear
