Default Re: Turbo sv650, build information, video etc.

Well....as usual with me...I dumped it in a parking lot! Sum bitch. Turbo side down. Took off on cold tires turning in the parking lot of where I get coffee every day. 28degree F and on a surface that was resurfaced a couple months ago with oil. Only damage was the lower faring and broke the back peg and slider. Four week old paint job. So at least I can fix that soon. Bugs the crap out of me already. I blocked off the waste gate completely this morning, re-wrapped rear exhaust and turbine housing to notice a good 5oorpm gain in boost signal. I took off a bit "spirited" and did a dognut and before I knew it was looking at the clear blue sky! Crap I say! Ok used more explicit words to be truthful. After taking it home it drove fine. Today also was my first day taking her over 125mph also. Once maintaining speed it drops to 3psig. However kept it under 6lbpsig to get there...quickly. Turbo bushings holding up well. Lots of room at top end. I have 2 extra teeth at the drive gear as well. Licking my wounds and getting ready to repaint the fairing and re-make the inlet to the turbo. All else fared well (no pun intended). Oh well
