New guy with a SV!
 

Hi guys.
I passed my cat A on the first of the month so the bike hunting began. Had a look around the local dealers and only the sv650's and gladius really stood out for me.
So when this came up for sale I grabbed the chance straight away and I am now the proud owner of it.

Got the insurance quote for it and even my mate was amazed.!
Only been out a couple of times but so far but all seams well. Sometimes a pain to get to neutral and a weird resonating noise from somewhere but that's all.
Hopefully the weather will stay fine and I'll be able to get out on it at the weekend.

cheers guys.!
I've got a couple mates who have been riding for about 4 years i'll see what they say. the neutral problem might just be me being to heavy footed. I'm sure I was the same on the schools ER-6n. Also I think the noise might be something to do with the screen that's fitted. Not sure if I should take it off or just leave it as it is.

Looks sweet! Somebody loved it before you I'd guess.
The engines are noisy. Mines been the same kind of noisy since I bought it, and I expect it to continue for many thousands more miles. Listen to other SV650's.
The shifting problem could be a clutch in need of adjustment. It's easy to check and to adjust. Could be dirty oil- what's it look like in the window?
How many miles on it? Have the valve clearances been checked, if they are due?
You bought a great bike.
