Our bike running for the last time. Youtube - SV650.org

Two clips on youtube. Taken today in the glorious sunshine. The vid was actually good quality but youtube must've saved it on a smaller setting.

Lissa reminded me the bike hadn't actually run since coming back from the AR, which was about 10 weeks ago. What a waste!

Did you take it on one last ride?

Could you not do just one last ride on NW4??

Only to the end of the road Lily. On SORN now. It felt so light after the Duke and the clip-ons felt like chopper bars by comparison.

That stubby still makes my hair stand on end though.

yup, a very healthy engine there. Even after a few weeks it starts better than one of mine.....a reall difference between giving a little persuasion and starting on two cylinders, and only starting on one like mine does. Don't whine like a biatch either, or knock or........!!
Even hearing that can on youtube makes my heart jump.....after all its scared me shi!!tless on more than one occasion when riding past me

Dizzy, sounds like time to check the spark plugs if you are starting on one cylinder

So what's happening with it? I thought you were keeping it, is it just going to be the Ducati then?

?

things are a little more complicated than just the plugs me dear. New plugs, new coils, new HT leads, new cylinder head, and a weep of oil from the new head gasket

and now cam chain slapping about a bit

Fires up on one, then after she decides what to do, she'll run on two

shes poorly sick

going to have to really overhaul her this time
