Tyres - Michellin Pilot Road 2's. Iv only been riding my SV a month, but my god do they inspire confidence!
I swapped from crappy tyres which i had no faith in and couldnt get on with, and the difference was AMAZING!
Bags and bags of grip, wet or dry, and the tyres have made a) the bike better to ride, and b) me a better rider

ive been looking at a few things for this bike . what i wud like.
-new chain and sprockets. the best one for sv ? your advice
-tail tidy ? they dont make em so wonderd if some1 here cud make 1
-new tyres also which are best ?
- H.I.D kit
-indicaters
-air filters
just wanting to know the little things to make bike better . to start off while winter is here
later on i will probs spray bike matte black

help will be great.
thanks alot
EDIT**
will my mums sv650 55plate restricter kit fit a 2001 sv650s ?
Leave the chain unless that one is worn out.
Same with tyres, couple of good ones out there.
Not really a most bestest one to go for.

K5 restrictor won't fit.


My advice, don't go mental on modifications right from the off. Ride the thing for a while first and start understanding why you do stuff so when you modify you do the right things for the right reasons.

Alright Joe, welcome to the forum. I may treat you to a Christmas gift if you can guess who it is?

As Chris says, stop worrying so much about mods and get some miles under your belt. Maybe not so many when it's cold and icey but on the good days .
