afternoon amd welcome.

nice bike and Alans right with a nice can the bike sounds sweet. but most of all get out there and enjoy it.

might also be an idea to have a look at the front sprocket its a quick job to take the cover off and have a look and a wee clean while you're there.

Thinking of getting Delkevic for it, cheap and good, sounds are subjective but its loud and that's a good thing on a motorcycle.

As for front sprockets, I can't seem to be getting this damn search function to work properly, can someone direct me on front sprocket cover removal tutorial? I youtubed/googled/redtubed it and found nothing related.

Thanks.

welcome to the madhouse.

top tip when taking the sprocket cover off. mark the output shaft to the shifter arm with a sharpie so you know where it goes back on.

remove the three bolts, one is on the top and the other two are underneath 8mm socket IIR.

Gave her a good wash and cleaned/lubed the chain.
Damn it has so much gunk and grime all over the sprockets and swing arm.

Looks almost factory new!

I'd also like to add that I purchased a rear stand and I was so scared of using it at first, but now I think its easy.

Oddly enough I've noticed a tick while I'm riding it, could be a number of things (Chain tension, valves, etc)

Hi, I am new on here as well. yep get rid of the standard exhaust, anything else will improve looks and sound. my SV has a tri-oval can, sounds mint!!, I just fitted an EVo-Tech tail tidy, easy job, looks nicer as well.

Thanks folks. I ordered my FE kit.
Now here comes to most repetitive questions every asked on forums.
Which exhaust?!?? Kidding
I'm torn between Scorpion Factory Oval (looks like I have to get rid of the rear peg), Yoshi RS3, or M4.

For me the sound clips on Youtube don't convince me, I heard a Yoshi on a sv650, its not loud but its deep. Can anyone give some info? Or guide me to the link...

To add, I use the bike to commute and Im up at 4am, so not hating on the neighbours.
