Sv650 blue pointy for sale

It isnt the power, im fine with that its the corners. I can go round them but i slow down a hell of a lot and it feels like im going too slow. When im out with my friends they constantly have to keep stopping and waiting for me which is annoying. My friends say that i should speed up and just lean into the corners but if i struggle to take a bend at 30 then why would i speed up?????? it just doesnt make sense

Thing is though marc its going to be the same on any bike you buy, like someone has suggested best bet is to get out alone on a dry day and practise cornering best place to do this is quiet roundabouts. I guarantee that when you get more miles under your belt you will come to feel at home with the sv they are one of the easiest bikes to ride.

Like he said, you need to get miles under your belt and learn at your own pace, a smaller bike will feel just as bad as the one you have now, plus handle even worse. My CB-1 handle as well as the SV, but the CB-1 takes even longer to master. The SV is very forgiving. Really its how your applying the technique to steer.

The best thing is not to try and turn the bar the way you want to go (ok i mean a little) but to act your weight onto the bar in counter steering.

Ok to make simple. Your approaching a left hander, as soon as you enter the bend start leaning a little and at the same time apply some counter force on the left handle bar ie put pressure on the left more than the right as if your trying to go the other way.

Also eye fixation is important as well, look into the distance stright ahead where you want to go, don't go staring at the kerb and thinking "oh ****". Keep focused on the road ahead, chin up and not looking down.

There lots of other tips but a search will provide this.

Hope the couple of pointers help.

Remember the skill applies to all bikes, smalll or big, its the same principles.

Maybe you could join in on one of the local organised rideouts, im sure this would help you get comfy with her.

Bump

Sold to SVDEMON

congrats svdemon that was a ride home for you eh!!

It was indeed! Good fun but a bit sore on the old legs! Whats a good tire for the SV? I fancy some fresh rubber on there.

Yeah the standard tyres are pants, the general concensus is Metzler z6s, michelin pr2s bridgestone 020s i cant remember the successor to these 012s i think. I have had experience of bridgestone 010s and z6s and liked both have a look in the tyres section of the site there is loads of info there. Hope the bikes good for you keep in touch be nice to know how my ex gets on
