Re: My first pointy
Well looks like the general setting up has paid off in the economy dept. By balancing the TBs, fixing inlet air leaks, cleaning air filter and fitting new plugs and caps etc the MPG is improving by...

Re: My first pointy
I put a Venhill featherlight clutch cable on my SV. They dont use the bend the SV cable has and claim it to be a lighter action.
My vibration mainly affects my right hand. I do wonder if its...

Re: My first pointy
I've had a couple of SVs before, this being my first Pointy, but on every one I've suffered from numb fingers on my right hand. Its a well known, dare i say issue, on these bikes. If you google it...

Re: My first pointy

Sadly the...

Re: My first pointy
I don't know if anything else is different, so will just tape one outlet up and take the feed from the other one. I think that will be easiest and reversible should the next owner want to convert it...

Well my daily hack SH300 didnt start this morning, so I fired up the Sv and headed into London on it. Springs have made a big difference in a good way, but the lack of damping is still obvious. The...

Sadly I have to lower the pegs or sell it. I have a dodgy knee and just can't ride it for any length of time with my leg cramped up like the standard riding position makes me.
High 30s mpg is what...

Re: My first pointy
Did a mpg check and whilst it's gone from 37 to 41 that is still very disapppointing and makes me think it's still running rich. Maybe it'll adjust/settle down over the next couple of tank fills? My...

Didn't need the wires as they did fit on okay - just! Chekced the TPS again and it was cutting in just on 1500rpm, so left it as is. Went out for a run and the bike seems fine now. Throttle roll on...

Yup will do but sadly the new caps dont fit the standard leads, so i've got to get new leads as well, which is no bad thing.

Just sticking the MM in the old and new plugs, I get different readings from the old to the new, but am I measuring them right?
