Well I've picked up my SV this afternoon
1999 Curvey, naked, just over 10000 miles on the clock. 12 months MOT. I will take some piccies & post them up tomorrow. It is absolutely immaculate, or it was till I just rode 70 miles through the pouring rain

I think it is restricted, either that or its kn@ckered . I am going to have to have a look at the carbs, but it feels very lathargic between 5000 rpm upwards. I hope it is restrictions or I will cry. Anyway I am one chuffed puppy that is going on the lash tonight to celebrate my 1st proper ride since the accident & having my independence back

Happy new bike

Nice one!

yay! great stuff! any piccys? enjoy biking mister c and ride safe

I am sure someone on here who has a restricted curvy and confirm or dispel your fears that it might be fecked!! ... but more importantly, what colour is it?!!?

If its restricted, then it should run out of puff completly after 8000 rpm. Also, with a loaded topbox on going up hill, it wont go faster than 82 mph

Yup, sounds to me like it's restricted

Then check the carbs for two washers (one in each) and whip 'em out

Looking at the write up on the main pages I need to change the slides is this right?
I've had the carbs off & cant see any restrictor washers
