Last week I bought a 2006 SK5 with 2,700 miles on it (my third SV!). It hasn't been used for a year, just sat in a garage. In a couple of weeks I am starting a new job where it will be my 400 mile a week commuter bike. I am/have:
-Stripped the front and back brakes and rebuilt them,
-Fitted a fender extender,
-Fitted a fuel exhaust
-New battery
-Changed the oil in the forks (and upped them to 15w)
-Changed the oil and filter
-Changed the coolant
-Fitted heated grips
-Fitted a scotoiler
-Fitted a tank pad
-Ordered some ACF-50
-Fitted longer pipes to the throttle bodies vacuum take off so that they can be balanced in future without taking the skin off my hands!
and used lots of coppergrease!

I may have done more, but can't remember!

And am looking for a hugger and a Givi rack.

Over the next few months I will take the back apart again and grease the tri-linkage too.
