and rubber grease also-do it yourself mate-get the manual out and you'll walk it, then you'll never need to pay someone to do them again-to me its what makes the sv a special bike, you can learn how to do jobs yourself and before you know it you'll be a pretty competent diy bike mechanic, and the sv is the bike to learn on.
