Re: Pointy running poorly.
Cheers svshaz. I had previously thought about some part of the bike overheating when it was getting up to temp, but dismissed it as I'm normally up to over 90 degrees after a few miles. Some...

Re: Pointy running poorly.
Oil level - forgot to say, I did check it after putting the new spark plugs in and am ashamed to say that it was below the low line! (probably thanks to that loose hose throwing all the oil out!) So...

Re: Pointy running poorly.

Re: Brake pedal return spring.

Re: SV wet front plug syndrome
Cheers husky.
Forgot to mention that it didn't have a fenda extenda. Anybody got one that needs a good home? :)
Would one be able to pick up silicone grease from Halfords?
