Default New biker from South Wales with and a 99 SV650s

HI all.

Passed my test last month and bought myself an early Christmas present. 1999 Blue Sv650s. Lovely bike, rather loud and seems to like popping flames at the moment..

It's un daily use for my commute in and out of Cardiff at the moment, so I'll need advice to take proper car of the old girl. ☺

I was originally looking for a fazer for commuting but couldn't resist this when I saw it. Very pleased so far only just noticed a little oil leak so there's something to look into. Lol

I'll add some pictures later.

Shwmae a chroeso

If you need any advice on caring for your SV don't be afraid to ask on here, everyone is pretty knowledgeable, but, there are some dodgy people too (you know who you are XD)

Hopefully when the summer comes you'll get to enjoy the lovely Welsh roads we have.

Cheers guys.

First on my list is some new gear. Yesterday's trip down the M4 left me sodden through and having to put wet kit back on for wirk as 4am this morning wasn't pleasant. lol

I have been driving cars round Wales for year (always taking the scenic route...), as we have some beautiful roads on the doorstep and I am looking forward to better weather to ride them on the SV.

I dare say I will have plenty of technical questions over time (like why is it shooting flames. lol) as I am very new to bikes but never afraid to get the spanners out.

Not too shabby, the flames are because it is a carb bike and in the over run the unburnt fuel won't be ignited as there isn't enough air in the engine due to closed butterflies and it ignites in the exhaust. I think so anyway.

If you want any local help with mechanical stuff I am willing to offer my assistance.

Stay safe

Thanks for the explanation and the offer. I'll wait till it starts getting warmer before I start tinkering and get mechanical. ��
