Re: New SV650 owner
Best thing for the braking is to sort the front forks out with fresh oil and weight matched springs, and emulators if your budget reaches that far. This stops the diving and makes it more stable on the front so you can actually use the brakes hard. Braided lines give more direct feel as well along with fresh brake fluid. A strip, grease and rebuild of the calipers will have them working great and EBC HH pads are the icing on the cake. I was happy with that setup for all but fully loaded two up riding where they lacked a little power.

Re: New SV650 owner
Thanks for all your messages guys.👍
Picked it up today very happy! Its not been started for 18 months I put a battry on it it started on the third turn wow that's impressive. Needs a bit of work new top fairing, left hand mirror, fork seals,cracked left hand rear panel and has a very slight twist in the rear sub frame ow and need the scratches polished out the tank. That should keep me busy for a bit. Not sure if I'm going to keep it blue though, thought about going black and white will have to see when it's finished will have to start putting up the pics as I go 👍👍 |

If you fix something at home and it doesn't work, so what? You fix your bike and you do a bad job.....you get hurt, that's what worries me. I'd be happy as a pig in brown stuff if someone wanted to show me how to do it one day, biscuits, tea, tea and a large kebab as payment after, hint hint! |
