Is it possible with an SV
 would more info help? hmmm... took it to the jet wash earlier, started again to get it home but can't start it now. also took the rearset off to try and change my gear lever though. Couldn't so put it all back on again... that's when i realised it wouldn't start so I'm not sure what I've donew. Might have to join the AA. |
