Hi:
The r/h caliper seized so solidly at 32,600 miles it had to be replaced. A more stringent maintenance schedule has since solved that.
Clutches have lasted circa 50,000 miles each (I'm part way into No3 at the minute). The clutch safety switch, cable, springs, bearing and worm drive were swopped out at 53,300 miles.
The voltage regulator gave up at circa 80,000 miles and was replaced with the unit from an SV1000.
Front wheel bearings were replaced at 89,000.
A master cylinder overhaul kit was fitted for the front brake at 95,000 miles, together with the clutch cut-out switch on the clutch lever.
Another clutch cable was needed at 97,500 miles.
The inlet valves are still within tolerance from new - the exhaust valves were all re-shimmed at 108,400 miles.
Other than the usual consumables, that's it. The motor appears to use no oil (never gets down to the minimum level) and has no unusual noises. I pulled up alongside a 21,000 mile SV650S, circa 2005, that sounded like a bag of rusty nails...he nearly toppled off the thing when he asked how many miles I had up on mine...
Best regards
Steve
