Re: Another SV325 in the rain.
Haha...hope not Zed.
Just waiting on the new cap to land now so I can get started. Ran into another annoying problem. I've a crash bar fitted that mounts at the swing arm, side of the engine, then wraps round and meets just above the oil filter.
The hose from the rad to the water pump is tucked in behind the bar so when swinging the rad forward, it takes up a lot of the slack from the hose (which looks like i was replaced with a slightly shorter one than I've seen in others pics. So it looks like either...
1. The crash bars come off and that might give me enough slack on the hose to swing the rad forward
2. Drop the rad from the top mounts and rest it on the tyre (taking care of temp sensor, return hose and removing the horn too)
3. Drain the system and just go full bore and remove everything.
It seems like every simple sounding job on a faired SV requires dismantling half the bike lol! Changing my dash bulbs to LEDs was a mission in itself!
Thanks again for all the replies people. I'll keep ye posted
