Tank prop and fuse location?
Hi Guys, Two questions, I opened the rear passenger seat ( storage) and can not seethe tank prop and also the fuses are hanging in there , do they have a place tomount them on ? Also, do you guys risk mounting the spare helmet on one thepassenger seat hooks ? in the manual it says it is for pillion helmet, is thatreally the case and does not stretch the helmet strap to rip it off ? Thanks |

Re: sv650 prop and fuse location
There's a good chance the tank prop is missing, mine was. Just use a bungee rope connected from the two small holes at front of the tank to the pillion grab rail.

Re: sv650 prop and fuse location
a piece of wood left under the tank works best I find, tank prop is bendy and you end up with the tank falling on your hand if you aren't ultra careful.

Re: sv650 prop and fuse location
The tank props are really good, you must be using it wrong.
I would NOT use those hooks on the move myself.

Re: Tank prop and fuse location?
It is stated in my gixxer manual not to use the helmet locks on the move, as above.
