fell down, went crash, now stuffed

[Mcnius]

OK, First of all i would like to THANK everyone that replied and helped with suggestions, but unfortunately i have to tell you something, Today finally i pulled my finger out of my **** and jumped on Suzi and took her out for a small ride around the block, and guess what, cant find/feel anything wrong (fingers crossed) so i would really like to apologize You all for wasting your time, but it was a good learning curve for me. I feel like a total numpty, now hoping for a bigger ride later in the week and hoping for the best.
So , once again sorry for being such panicky poo and thank you for all your Help

Your guess is better than mine i think, ask me about 50cc two stroke piaggio engines and auto gearboxes i might help you there , but big boys bikes no knowledge what so ever, just noticed that i need to tension my chain up a bit

Glad it's sorted, as Bibs says these things happen, whatever it was has popped back into place. The circlip thing I said about on page 1 - ruined a track day, I thought my gearbox was lunched, had to jack it in after 2 sessions and went home wondering what to do with my bike. Needless to say I was pretty happy when I figured it out, but the bit in between was not at all fun.

Thing is i am very old person trapped in a 32 year olds body, don't like change and if i don't like a sound and feel of something in my car, bike or missus i think i need to fix it or replace it with new stuff, only now slowly im starting to understand that things can be fixed, and sometimes really easily.

TBH you sound more like a youngster, people these days just chuck stuff out or get someone to do jobs for them. I'm a habitual fiddler, always have been. Old stuff is fine if you care for it, you get the odd surprise, and you have to be a bit selective about what you buy/keep. i have a 70 year old camera that works fine and takes great pictures, for example. Old stuff is "vintage" when it's working and "F***** PIECE OF OLD CRAP" when it's not! The SV is a basically reliable axe though.
