Staying stock for a while, may well be a rear shock is the first thing....time will tell

The exhaust looks and sounds great stock and it doesn't change sound much with just an aftermarket can, needs to be a full system swap really and I don't need the hassle of remapping to make it run right just yet black widow do some nice full systems that aint too badly priced though, on my potential shopping list

Agree.
Just bought one, blue-black less than 500 miles, considerable saving and too good to pass up.
Couldn't part with my SV though, it's staying!

That's a shame!
It is mental. I have never owned a litre bike and to be honest probably a good job until now.
The Suzuki familiarity has made it a much easier transition, but that engine is a work of art even if the throttle response requires a postgrad in control.
