Shopping list RE: my crash
 

OK guys, I appreciate this might be a bit boring but I'd really appreciate it :)

I've just had the nose off my SV to look at the damage since my off.

If you could run through the pics and basically tell me what I'll be needing and if you know of anyone selling them.

Basically if its not in the pics, it was smashed to smithereens and I've left it in the ditch.

Also, my suzuki key snapped and I lost the PCB that controls the alarm and immobiliser, how do I sort that to get another key? Dealer? I've got the separate fob so I can still start the engine (still sounds beautiful)

If you need more detailed pics to answer, just tell me where to point my phone!

Is it economical to repair? Or do I get another, break this, keep the remainder for spares. Engine has done under 7k.


And yes, it is a traffic cone in my yard.
Thanks,

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

thers some bits you may need that will be hard 2 say if you need or not from the pics.

do you need the front sub-loom if so i have one of them sitting may have a few other bits but not 2 sure.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

another thing i no i have is the infill pannel for inbelow the front fairings yours dosnt seem 2 be ther at all let alone broke or un-damaged.;)

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

streetfighter time? or do you want to put it back to stock?

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Ah yes, I meant to edit to say that I have the undamaged infill for below the lights.

Ideally, I'd like to go back to stock, but it may have to be in stages due to funds.

What is a subloom? The thing I am holding in my hand? What does the subloom control?

Think its probably a good idea to get a new front subframe, rather than bending that one back?

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Yes you are holding the subloom , its what plugs into the front of the bike to supply the front lights .
Clearly you need a front fairng and front sub frame .
Can you see if your radiator is ok and also how do the forks look . You may also want to check for leaks by firing it up and achiving running temperature . This will put pressure on any weak spots in the system . These are the big things to get sorted first before you start making it look pretty again .
Chin fairing infill and clock infill should be on your list aswell as a new /replacement set of lights .
Mirriors , indicators , clocks and levers all look reusable but you have to get a new tank aswell .

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

the sub-loom branchs of the other conector behind the clocks and runs the front light and indicators.


depending on how bad the front sub frame is bent which in the pics dosnt look 2 bad i would defo just straightin it back out as ther pretty hard 2 get used and they cost a mint new.

;)

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Rad looks OK, no leaks or rips in hoses, fins are good.
Forks go up and down without any visible twisting.

Will get it up to temp tomorrow. How much is a front fairing / nosecone arrangement?

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

it would depend on where you go and weather you want an orignal siler one or not or just egt any colour then get it painted threw time.

best place for parts would be ebay and/or get a wanted post up on here for any bits you need.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

I bought a K3 silver one about 3 years ago now from a Suzuki dealer and it was around the 150 pound mark, which actually pretty cheap!

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Got some prices from Marriots dealer last night.

300 headlight assembly
197 for nose cone
40 for bits of plastic that cone bolts too.


Feck me,

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

As for the fairing I would get it off ebay and get it sprayed . It works out a lot cheaper .

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Naked it, it'd be cheaper mate. Did you check forks are ok etc?

EDIT: Whats that parked next to it?
EDIT x2: just saw the post re forks, they just looked funny in one or two pics. The reason I ask about the bike next to it is, if its naked, steal the headlight mounting plates and whatever you can to fit the SV :evil::twisted:

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Its my flatmates old GS500.

Thinking of getting the forks checked in Warrington. I'm going to try and ride it there, once I've straightened the frame / bars out the way. I'm going to be taking it easy, so shouldn't be too risky.... should it?

Thinking of getting some streetfighter headlights and indys from busters, like these:

http://www.bustersclassic.co.uk/prod...asp?prod=HLGOG

Think I'll just have to grab a new tank from ebay and get it sprayed. Are the tanks the same across K2 - K8? Same for forks, are they the same? I'd imagine that the nose fairings and associated headlight mounts are different so I'd need a K3 specific one?

T

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Well for probably the same price you could get Gixxer forks, but then your entering the modyfying the front wheel brakes etc area. Best idea is to get your forks checked first before you incorporate those costs. Can get some risers for bars and put some renthals on it. Should only be around ?50 for that, then again, are the clipons actually bent? They look twisted on the forks thats all.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Heh, that's my GS500 that's been stood for 11 months now, good ground anchor :D

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

if its naked, steal his ^^^ headlight!

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Hehe, nah I'm going to try and get a replacement mounting area.

Just waiting on some pics of a petrol tank that I am possibly buying and a fairing nosecone.

Once this is all done, I might even get it sprayed black!

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Well if you need some clipons, which I do doubt cos it looks like they have just been turned in by the impact, I will have some for sale to fit the SV when I've done my bar conversion. Mine are made to fit 41mm fork tops so should be fine.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Jesus thats a stroke of luck! Will it fit a 650 or just the 1000?

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Yay it will fit. I've put a bid on this.

Just need a headlight mounting bit. TO EBAY! \\:D/

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

front sub-frame they are made of chocolate, Ive put together two of these accidents both in sonic silver too :)

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

might be able to help with a front sub frame, let me know if u need one. The expensive bits the forks look straight, lucky there.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Suzuki made the SV to be a budget bike so barring engine and frame most other things are the same on both bikes to keep production costs down .Some panels do have wider mountings due to said larger frame and engine . However , saying that , there still is no gaurentee the silver will be exactly the same shade as the rest of the bike . This really is no bad thing . My yellow tank is a resprayed blue one at heart and to the passer by it looks fine but when you get close you can see the difference in the shades . This is a common necassary evil I'm afriad . I am not sure how many different shades of silver suzuki have produced but I imagine that someone on thie site will be able to help you out there .
If you are going to ride it to get checked out just be damn sure to take it easy best to get there late in one piece tahn not at all .

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

PS you can leave the stickers on and pretend its a thou or just use a hairdryer and patience (spelling) and peel them off .

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

I have just taken another look at the photos and see that the bike has no lower fairings . This will work in your favour as there is no other paint(except the tank) near to where the new one will be mounted and so any diffrence in shades will be less noticable .

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

thats k3 sonic silver.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Brilliant, really appreciate your help guys.

I'll have a bash at straightening front subframe with a scaffolding pole, if not, how much am I looking for a 2nd hand one of them?

Also, I've secured the front nose fairing (probably) but does anyone have the black plastic bits that go at the sides?

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

straightening the front sub frame is a biatch:D like i say i got one that 99.9% straight if u need it.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Kwak, how much you after for it? Posted to near Liverpool.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

can u attend one of the stormy petrel meets on a thursday night? i could bring it otherwise is going to be about ?10 postage me thinks.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Erm, possibly could get a mate to pick it up, but I can't ride mine until I have your subframe / bend mine back as I don't have any lights atm.

How much are you after?

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

PM'd

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

How big is the part? I could possibly take it on Thurs at the Stormy. (MiniMac's flatmate)

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

ooo swapped it today so the front sub is ready for ya, let me know when you want it? i'll be at stormy if its dry but i think it may be a little dangerous in a back pack.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Looking at this thread, it is similar to my list by the looks of things, however as I have actually snapped the front fork and bent the other, as well as possibly damaging the wheel internals, ill need a complete front end, tank, fairing, subframe and the rear headlight assembly. Amazingly the front headlight covers are untouched. Also need a new Rad

Bottom yoke is warped but topyoke looks ok, will be geting frame professionally looked at to check its still straight.

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Re: Shopping list RE: my crash
 

Typical I've just bought an SV1000 one with a teensy scuff on it.

Just need ady to sell me the headlight now :)
