Re: Sv650 curvy emulators
Are these any use?
I bought a while back but never fitted.

Re: New Bike - Yamaha MT-09
A tail tidy too far... My back gets wet.
And those mirror extenders are needed on the XSR too.

Re: Test ride challenge
Nice review Yokohama.
I went for a test ride on the XSR900 back in September. Hook, line and sinker springs to mind. Ergonomics are spot on for me. Traded my SV the following week, and I had six...

Re: The random rideout pictures thread
It's out west, near Dundonnell, on the A832. Lovely twisty road with the usual rubbish scenery to distract you from the upcoming corner. :-)

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
Darren,
I've seen pics of wheels that Richie Foss, near Loch Ness, has repaired that I wouldn't have thought possible.
He doesn't paint them though.

Our wee village has been done recently, and so have the surrounding villages. It's easy to forget, especially if you stop at a shop and start off again.

Looks like you are right about that G48 stuff having silicates.
Acting on recommendations on here, I used halford's OAT, the pink stuff, it's silicate free. I reckon its easier to see the level in...

I think the 2003/2004 radiator is wider, so it might be called 2005-on.
