Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I got the SV all together and went for a spin. It's the first ride since redoing the suspension: New linkage bearings. New-to-me, freshly serviced ZX10 shock. And new oil and springs in the front....

Re: We know this...
Thank you for those links. Sent me down an hour of reading about crankshaft design. So awesome! I wish I'd trained as a MechEng.

Pointy clutch cover gasket - RTV for water pump?
Morning all. The stock gasket has pre-applied sealant around the water pump inlet and outlet. My replacement gasket is just flexoid (gasket card). Should I apply from RTV around the water pump...

Re: Fork oil options
Bibio has recommended 100mm (without springs or spacers) in another thread. That's what I used.

Re: Gear shift problems - confusion
I have a theory. I took the sprung shift-star cam stop off and rotated the crank by hand and all the gears select perfectly turning the shift star. I put the sprung cam stop back on and still, all...

Re: Gear shift problems - confusion
Thank you, I found that a while ago. His solution was to replace everything! Which is spendy. I'd really love to know what's wrong before I go that route.

Hi all. I've had my naked SV for two-and-a-half years. Commuting and trackdays. It hasn't skipped a beat. For context, I did have a highside at Bedford in 2018, which snapped the right-hand footrest...

Givi rack and monokey plate for pointy SVs
Morning all. I've somehow ended up with two Givi rack systems for my SV. So one is up for grabs. It's the two arms that bolt to the SV's subframe, a monokey plate, mounting hardware and instructions....

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
After jumping off the SV and damaging my blue flame can, I put one of these on. Holy hell it is loud! Have you had it measured, Bibio? I don't think I'm going to pass noise testing. :/

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
