Hi from Northampton

Quick Hi to everyone, Im new to SVs just joined having bought a 2003 curvy.
Had Kwaks previously mostly ZZRs and some older 80/90s stuff dabbled with Honda a little to but been away from bikes for about 18 months.

Now back in the saddle with a nice Black SV and getting to grips with it, great little bike, little loud with the system that's on it but learning to live/ enjoy it
Not touched anything yet but will be doing an oil change soon and checking filters and stuff. Just looking to get some nice weather and a few miles in this year..

Anyone know a good bike garage in Northampton who knows SV's I want the shims checking which is something I don't fancy doing myself having watched it done on videos on the net I recon paying an expert would be better..

Cheers

Welcome again

Cheers going to give these guys a go they seem popular and spoken to um on phone they think shims will prob be ok as history is all good but agreed think it may have an air leak "cheap fix mate" we will see. But hope so

Thanks for above link. Went in today and they gave the bike a good look over.
Couldn't find any air leaks but said does pop rather a lot
Thinks it's a fueling issue and surgest a spell on a rolling road to set it up correctly.
Nice guys spent quite a while pulling bits off and checking lines etc and charged me zip nothing at all..

Given the bike a oil change and new filters and at least seems to run smoother, gears noticeably better!
Again thanks for the link good place and I like the little back street places som much more friendly than mail dealers.
