Re: Throttle Valve Seizing
Put some proper lubricant on it now you've cleaned it with WD40, even just some light oil will be better than nothing.

Re: SV major service
Considering I've been quoted around £250 just to check the valve clearances from more than one indy around here that seems a decent price for the clearances and general service bits.

Swap out the battery for a lithium one that's about 3kg saved and probably the biggest single saving on a road bike along with ditching the stock bazooka.

Re: SVBMX Build Thread (99 SV650)
The only problem with those mufflers is the bands and rivets aren't stainless so they do start to rust after a while, but apart from that for £30 you could do a lot worse.

Re: Service history
My K5 came with pretty much no service history, was a nice tidy example though meaty tyres, couple of bits done like crash bungs and exhaust but nothing too flashy. I've since doubled and then some...

Re: What's with bike insurance this year?!
My renewal was £30 cheaper than last year and £20 cheaper than even the same insurer offered as a new customer. They even threw in some kit cover and protected NCB which I didn't have. Miracles do...

Re: Pointy air intake upgrade
You can bodge a Renegade style kit by just removing the airbox lid and using some washers to hold the filter in place if I remember rightly it's just a frame that fits over the filter so you can...

Re: MGT061 but not restricted
The Swiss are hot on everything involving their vehicles, there's no ifs buts or maybes you must be 100% correct on all your paperwork and every part must be certified.

Re: Review of my SV 2005

Re: Bleed nipples
Perfect that's what I wanted someone that's used them successfully. It was actually powerhouse that I got my calipers from last year.

Re: Coolant leak?
I was always led to believe that you don't use tap water in your cooling system as the minerals in it can block the cooling channels like limescale in your kettle.

Re: Coolant leak?
Yep fine, that's what I used to flush mine through last time I changed my coolant.
