Default SV 650 K3 naked pointy. £1195

Bike is now sold.





I bought this as a project to tidy up etc. Full details of all i've done to it can be found in this thread here.

In short, it was an S but the kid crashed it, so rather than get a new fairing, he had it converted to a naked using a cnc top yoke from topyokes and risoma bars. It had those twin lights on but I replaced them with a £15 ebay round one.

If i was keeping it, i'd put longer throttle cables on it and replace the left hand footpeg hanger as its slightly bent. Might straighten but i'm not risking it with alloy. Both tyres are nearer the end of their life, than the beginning.

Its done 35k miles and has a good few marks here and there. So if you're looking for a minter, keep looking lol!

Its got the rear end jacked up and with the lower bars it tips you forward and puts too much much of my not inconsiderate weight onto my wrists. But it does look pretty sharp with its tail tidy and stance and little stubby exhaust.

Its got those adjustable levers on and little bar end mirrors, which i hate but have got used to them. If you've read the thread i linked to you'll see its had new rear pads, plugs and plug caps and oil (Shell advance full synth) and filter and its K&N air filter cleaned and oiled. I've balanced the TB's but its still a bit buzzy so could be improved on? That said I adjusted the TPS and it got a lovely smooth pick up on it.

Comes with 1 key and sod all history. Cant think of anything else to say about it really. I'll add some more pics later on this week. Available from Saturday as i need to use it this week. I live in Basildon, Essex but its in Russel Square London Wc1 each day if you wanted to see it.

Price reduced from £1295 to £1100.
