Well, today I lubed the chain and had a pull on the rear sprocket and the chain felt quite moveable. Checked my history, and after my chain had snapped previously - it was changed at 18,000 miles and it's now showing 34,000! So sprocket and chain change imminent. Quoted £99.00 for same as last time, which for 16,000 miles without a Scottoiler can't be bad.
So I am having the front shocks done at the same time - Hagon springs and oil change - circa 75 squid for bits.
So, let's be honest - she's good for another 16,000!? So that's 50,000 miles - that's another couple-three years for me (us i.e. bike and me!).
Had an R1 parked up alongside me regularly, a Firestorm, a Honda CBR600F, a VFR800 .... and I still love my SV650S. So I guess we are stuck with each other!
