Jeez why is everyone being so hostile?

V-twin engines are Jerky to the inexperienced rider and it takes time to refine your riding to learn blipping smooth out down changes and setting your throttle position to give you neutral speed round the corners.

It does take time. As others have said I don't think there was anything wrong with the bike in the first place so get it set back to what it was and start riding the bike.

The SV is a lot harder to ride than something like a GS500 but much more rewarding when you start riding it smoothly. That said if you really can't get on with a V-Twin maybe you should think about changing to something with a smoother engine?

As said, get out learn to use the clutch, get some experience and it will become normal.

Excuse me if I was perceived as rude, I however couldn't give a toss, I have read some of yuour other threads and been amazed.

And why is that???



We have printed the instruction off and followed it step by step! So it should be ok!

I don't understand what setting it at 1450rpm does mine was originally set at 3k!
Just seems quite close between idle at 1200 and 1450rpm? But the instructions have been followed and double checked so hopefully all should be good!

And as someone said I can't get my dad to try it first, unfortunatly he doesn't have a license!

Now now boys

As already said though you need to get miles under your belt girl - what I did, my first bike was one that cost me something like £450 and was something I didn't give a poop about. that way I didn't care if I dropped it and I did TWICE but I just got back on and I rode and rode that until i was confident enough in my riding to buy something decent. Obviously each bike is different to ride but with confidence already there knowing I am actually capable of riding - it was just then about familiarising myself with a new bike rather than being nervous of smacking up my new bike, If you are frightened of the bike then it'll hinder your learning, your shoulders will be hunched up to your ears and you'll be gripping onto that steering for dear life - no good at all eh it's just a confidence thing and the more riding you do the more confidence you'll get.

Haha, this has made me laugh, read your first post...

See the contradiction?
