Hello, and battery question - SV650.org

07-08-06, 10:52 AM

Well, after a long absence I'm back online, so 'Hello!' to all the old and new folks.
I'm living in Sweden now, any other Swedes here?

The battery question is this, I just ordered a battery for a 1998 sv, but my bike is a 2001 (don't ask!) so is it the same battery or do I need to cancel the order?

Thanks in advance!

I thought the SV was first made in 1999. Anyways the battery for all the curvies are the same. YT12A-BS

Thanks guys!
The bike has been sitting in a friend's barn for nearly 10 months, and apart from the battery, it started first time and ran like a beaut!
Can't wait to get back on the open road, have the Swedish version of MOT booked for the 24th! Yay!

To be sold in 99, They have to be made in 98

ooooh, yes! Got a big house out in the country with a load of land that cost a fraction of the tiny flat I had in Dulwich! And the roads are empty and there are no hedges so you can see what's coming for miles!
And as for all the blondes and herrings.....
