Re: Cam chain tensioner - no slot??

Yes good point and it reminded me of a Suzuki vee twin I did recently (not SV) where I got in a right pickle. I think youre supposed to do one cylinder at a time and I would recommend this as I tried...

Re: Cam chain tensioner - no slot??

oh and if your lucky and very careful (go round them with a feeler gauge or something before lifting off) you might be able to reuse the cam cover rubber gaskets which I think are quite expensive to...

Re: Cam chain tensioner - no slot??

Have a good read of the manual beforehand and you'll be fine. Its just a case of marking and recording everything as it comes apart, not letting the chain go loose back down in the barrels, not...

Re: Cam chain tensioner - no slot??

Thats quite possible as a vee twin doesnt usually get revved as much as some other configurations so if ridden sensibly the clearances wont change much...
Make sure you put the old shims back in the...

Re: tighter or looser?

I think the confusion is because both can happen in different cases. If theres valve recession then they will get tighter but if not and you do a lot of high revving miles the shim can get a wear...

Re: Euro 5+ article

I think theres an element of 'weve all got to do our bit' so regardless of how much each transport sector contributes to the problem its hit with the same rules. Must admit I can imagine the outcry...

Re: carbon fuel tank vent cartridge

Isnt 5 in the diagram the inlet/exhaust of the cannister? If its removed then the other two pipes (9 & 11) coming from the system can just vent to atmosphere but of course will give more petrol...

Re: Brake fluid musings

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Certainly no worry about energy consumption as better off having the heat in your hands than in our reg/rectifiers!

Re: Brake fluid musings

I do like the flexible rubber seal used in motorcycle master cylinders and I think this helps keep the fluid dry compared with cars which in general just have an vent open to atmosphere to allow for...

Re: GSX-8R video review

Hmmm, he said he thought the shock was starting to get overwhelmed on the road and so on track would really suffer - only a different shock is going to stop that....

Re: GSX-8R video review

A bit worrying that he says increasing rear shock preload improved things for the track but as we all know doing that just raises the position the bike sits at! It has no effect on spring response or...

Re: Bike cuts out after revving

well the movement sensor is on the other end of the STV so the motor can do what it likes but its the butterflies (well at least their shaft) that have to move to produce the correct signals...

Re: Bike cuts out after revving

yes there should be a certain voltage read from the STV position sensor by the brain at closed and then another at fully open. If these two values seen in the test arent within limits it should give...

Re: Bike cuts out after revving

I believe the full travel of the butterflies is necessary to confirm the correct span readings from the position sensor and if thats not achieved I would have expected it to throw up a fault code...

Re: SV650S Fork leg bottom bolt leak

Just to close this thread, it wasnt the bottom bolt leaking but the fork seal, doh! Anyway all done (although with a cheapy replacement..) and dry again.

Re: Front fork Springs help

Well if your sag is correct with the OEM spring I dont think you can get much better no matter how much you spend on a replacement. Going to a linear would mean that under a given force the shock...

Re: Front fork Springs help

yes but to keep the shock in the correct position the first third of the spring should be used up with the weight of bike and rider (the same as if it was a linear spring) then after that the spring...
