Yipdee doo! Its in the shed with the carbs apart as i speak! they only down side being, i doubt ill be back on it till mid feb, as it needs work on breaks and the sub frame is currently off waiting for the cashe to be shot and p coated! got a bit eager in giving it its overhaul!! oh, some advice required, i have an m59 rear tire atm, its hard and not very sticky but i have pushed it far... but as im now getting more power, do i a: keep with the broken but not very sticky tyre till used to full power or B: fit sticky rubber and go gently on full power! Each have a risk, but wondering what other ppl would do! Cheers Alex |

Mine was bought as part of a rather larger loan which I'll not be paying off until the end of 2006

Fit the sticky rubber and take it easy. Those Michelins are rock hard compared to a nice set of Diablos.
You'll have much more power up the rev range than you're used to so it's when you're cranked over and powering on the gas that you'll want the grip. |

Hello,
Merry Christmas to everybody! I'm a wee bit confused as to why the bikes are restricted anyway? What was done to the bikes to restrict them in the first place? MotorCyclist Magazine in the USA, lists the following stock 04 naked SV650 rear wheel dyno numbers. 73.5 HP @ 8,750 RPM 47.1 Ft. Lbs. Of Torque @ 7,250 RPM Cheers, Richard |

I'm a bit in debt but it's all under control, so I'm not at all bothered by it... I could have it all paid off much faster, but I'd rather have a good time in the meantime, it'll still be cleared before I'm 30.
