Re: Chain and sprockets upgrade suggestions

And in an entirely unconnected manner, you've just explained to me why my unfaired SV fuel usage is a bit disappointing to me. I did wonder why I was getting iro 10% fewer miles out of a tank...

Re: Throttle pick-up jerky

Seconding Biblio - a slightly snatchy/jerky throttle, especially in low gears, when say coming off the revs and then applying them back a few moments later, say after a change down, has always been a...

Re: BLD Birmingham

If the fault of the accident was the other driver, why on earth did you not call their insurer first - they are, ultimately, the party who pays. Going via BLD is only putting cost and delay between...

Re: BLD Birmingham

I can only presume you were not at fault, and that you are probably on a hire bike at at least £80 per day, and probably more. You might not realise you're paying, you're probably on a "credit hire"...

Re: 2001 Curvy Naked.

I'll buy this if I may? (Subject to me doing a miafta/hpi check at my own expense and being able to make satisfactory arrangements to collect/pay and arrange insurance?)

Re: Watch out for idiots!

I'm reasonably sorted for knowledge on the insurance front - 13 years in PI department ad Direct Line and 3.5 at Sabre insurance.

Re: Watch out for idiots!

The thing is, I've long believed that good observation, and a defensive attitude go a long way to being safe. You can be criticised even when not at fault. You get hit at a T junction, and didn't...

My bike is a 51 plate. Every winter without fail the brakes seize up, if parked for more than a couple of weeks.

Re: If helmets weren't compulsory, would YOU wear one?

I don't think it's nanny state to insist on a helmet, where if you fall off, you expect

Re: Insurance and cameras

You have to remember, an insurance claim is a civil matter, and so there are no hoops and hurdles that say police equipment designed to be used en masse for criminal prosecutions has to pass.

Re: Used sv650, to buy or not?

The world is full of second hand motorbikes.

Besides, if you're unsure of buying it, so will the potential purchasers when you want to upgrade to something a little swankier.

Re: Sorn/technically insured? Help please!
