NC30 Project/Resto - SV650.org

Bunkle · 23-01-16, 08:35 PM

I bought the NC last Dec with the intention of doing a resto on her, the previous owner was commuting on her and had put new tyres on, serviced it and had the valves checked and carbs cleaned, that was up until 5 years ago after a low speed spill. I've checked the oil and it looks like it was put in yesterday.

Since then it sat in his garage, the battery is dead, the carbs will need cleaning and old fuel drained, the front callipers I have taken off to make moving the bike easier as they were binding.
It doesn't start but it does turn over, hence the carb clean etc.
He replaced the scuffed levers with TYGA items.

I was going to have the fairings repaired and repainted in the HRC Type 1 scheme, they have some damage to either side when he dropped it, all panels apart from the sides look ok with no obvious cracks.
When I took off the side fairings I saw that the top rad was leaking so that will need replacing/repairing.
All in all I think she'd make a straight forward resto or a decent track bike.

I have the V5 in my name and a couple of receipts and MOTs.

I'll see if there's any interest on here before eBay.

Asking for £950 ono.

PM me with any questions, I've got a load of photos I can email over.

Based just outside Milton Keynes.

Cheers,
Dave.

Might be interested in a swap for a naked SV.

Awesome wee bikes these, my first proper bike after passing my test (almost 18 years ago now). I fitted mine with an HRC piggy back ignition box (increased red line by 1k and removed the jap import speed restriction & rare as rocking horse poo), scorpion end can, rejetted carbs and airbox mod. 69 bhp on the dyno. 67 mph in first gear (not good for traffic light races!) And was clocked at 137mph. I was a fair bit lighter back in the day

Would have thought yours is worth more as they are becoming very collectable. Wish I'd have kept my 2 (had 1 that was 95% sorted for track days with cbr6 forks and a few other trick bits)

Soz for the ramblings but the NC30 brings back some awesome memories
