Chainged the engine oil on the SV for some nice new 'Smith & Allen' 10w40 semi synthetic together with a new oil filter, new iridium plugs will be going in tomorrow as will a new air filter.
Nothing ground breaking unfortunately but necessary.
Hopefully the new and 'different' spec oil will return my clutch to somewhere near normal as when I previously changed it to Silkolene fully synthetic... the clutch started to drag almost instantly after I put it in!? I removed cleaned and liberally greased the clutch slave and it didn't make hardly any difference, so ... here's hoping.
