Hello to all, and thanks in advance for any info!
Just picked up a '99 sv650, and have just now started tinkering with it. The sticker that shows the numbers on the tack is all but non-existent. Also, the chrome cap on the back of the tack is missing. Can I replace the sticker and or chrome cap or do I have to pick up a new tack/speedo assembly?
Also, I have done a little searching on getting a better 'growl' out of the v-twin, and stumbled across the 'mufflerectomy'. Is it worth it? And how much leaner is the bike gonna run? I've read that I should re-jet, but is it absolutely necc?
Things I'm looking at:
De-snorkeling or K&N
re-jetting
mufflerectomy
What do yall think?

Again, I appreciate the info, and apologize for the long post.
