Exhaust cover & Clutch adjustment
 

Hi there all, this is my first post so be gentle with me.

I have found that there is too big a reach to my clutch lever to be comfortable for my iccle hands. The brake lever is adjustable, but not the clutch. Does anyone know of a dog-leg type lever, or anything which may be available which might help me with this?

Ok next question is about an exhaust cover. I see that R&G do them, so does anyone have any experience of it on the SV? Is it any help in a crash and does it look ok on the bike?

Thanks all

i found my hands abit little for the clutch lever reach but i just got used to it, you may find you will just adapt.
as for the exhaust cover is it for the standard can or a race can? i'm not sure but i think there just for aftermarket cans, i think they look ok.

Hi, thanks
It is a standard exhaust...

I droppped my old ER5 on the left-hand side and it adjusted it just fine :lol:
Might not work with the SV as they tend to just snap, so don't try it on my recommendation!

Welcome to the site btw.

You can swap cable clutches fairly freely, just replace the whole assembly with one you like the look of. Or you could get a Pazzo lever, I think they're adjustable, but they're also £65 :smt103

Welcome Gemma.

No i know form whey back in the begining of time, there was some talk of an adjustable lever fitting from a KTM. Now i cant remember which model but may be worth a look. Id find a KTM dealer and ask which of thier bikes has an adjustable lever and then go down and check it out.

As for the can guard. I wouldnt bother on a std can. However a set of crash bungs couldbe a good investement.

:confused:

Why not bother with a can protector on a standard can? If you do crash, even with bungs, the leading edge of the can will go down (mine actually rusted through and started blowing after the crash) and it's £800 to replace. Course, most people would just stick a aftermarket can on rather than pay that.

See how mine faired, here...

Gemma, R&G do can protectors for about £40, should have one to fit the standard can. Oh, and hi!

Thanks for the comments, I'm pretty horrified at a standard exhaust costing £800!!! I already have crash bungs.

But yesterday I managed to drop my husbands TT600 causing damage to the crash bung and exhaust. So I am just trying to be better safe than sorry on my bike. I won't be allowed to ride his again.

(Can you imagine how much trouble I am in for dropping his bike!?:smt089)

Yes.:D
I wouldn't bother with a can protector either.You can get extra bungs for the swingarm and I think for the front forks,but if you scratch the standard can I would buy an aftermarket one,or a used standard one (Very cheap)
