Re: Pointy snorkel removal
I've had that newer SV1000 snorkel in my airbox for over a year now... the newer SV1000 had a slightly shorter tube than the early sv1000 so the late model one is the one you want...
It is better...

Re: Dunlop RoadSmart VS Conti Road Attack?
Yes I also thought about the sport attack but I hear they don't get the same kind of miles as the Road Attack.... longevity is another factor I'd consider... even though it is not a major factor in...

Re: How bad are standard tyres.
Yeah I hate them... but they will do in a pinch.. I just dropped a load on the full M4 exhaust for it.. so the tires will have to wait... I don't think I will be doing any real hard riding for a...

Re: Motosliders
You may need a deeper 17" socket if you have rather shallow sockets I had to get a different 17" because the one I had was a touch to shallow to get a good bite on the nut (yeah I lost the 17 socket...

Re: Does the stock system seperate?
2003 is different than all of the bikes, 99-2002 years are the same and then 2004-2006 are the same, 07 and 08 have O2 sensors I believe so I think 07, 08 may be the same
that stock one pictured...

Re: Fuel Light

Re: sprocket and chain Q
most places the stock D.I.D VM chain is gray/silver in color... but some are gold... dunno why... perhaps low stock?
usually replacements are gold I've found... that is if people took that option......

Re: sprocket and chain Q
I believe D.I.D VM chains are what come stock from the factory...
I prefer the VM2 as it is a bit better... but yeah it will work nicely
Never heard of the sprocket company though...

Re: sprocket and chain Q
I'd give it a good cleaning with some kerosene and check the chain to see if the links move smoothly or of they are binding or kinked... the sprocketdoesn't appear hooked yet.. but it is worn.. any...

Re: Help me choose between an 06 and an 08
