Tachometer question from a noob
Hello to all, and thanks in advance for any info!
Just picked up a '99 sv650, and have just now started tinkering with it. The sticker that shows the numbers on the tack is all but non-existent. Also, the chrome cap on the back of the tack is missing. Can I replace the sticker and or chrome cap or do I have to pick up a new tack/speedo assembly? Also, I have done a little searching on getting a better 'growl' out of the v-twin, and stumbled across the 'mufflerectomy'. Is it worth it? And how much leaner is the bike gonna run? I've read that I should re-jet, but is it absolutely necc? Things I'm looking at: De-snorkeling or K&N re-jetting mufflerectomy What do yall think? Again, I appreciate the info, and apologize for the long post. |

Be sure that for each step you have checked what model of SV it's for. The '99 Curvey SV does not have a snorkle to the airbox AFAIK this is a tip for the pointy owners....

Jambo, what are you saying? My '99 has a snorkel in the airfilter and came stock with it. You sure you are talking about the right bike?
