Re: Any common faults with SVs?
Asking for a list of possible faults make it sound like a bad bike; and it isn't.
If you are looking at a curvy, it is at least 7 years old (a K1 will be 9 years old) so is bound to have some wear/tear. It has always been a fairly budget bike - most things can be improved upon, but the stock part when properly maintained are good enough for most riders (novice or experienced). |
