Default 2002 SV refresh

Hi All.
Noobie to the site but I've been riding bikes for a long time working my way up from a 2 stroke 50, 125 and 250's then onto 400, 600, 750 then 1000IL4s and twins. My last few bikes have been;
2004 RSVR Factory
2003 R1
2005 F800

I wasn't enjoying the RSVR so much, finding it uncomfortable and utterly wasted on the road.
So I bought this.


The last owner was my sister and I rode it home for her when she bought it. I'd not grinned like I did after riding the little SV in the last goodness know how many bikes. I was a little smitten. It's very satisfying using all the bike can give. 4 years later and it's mine.
The original plan was to tart up the forks and sell it. Then buy a Ducati 796.







It's apparent more than the forks needed to be sorted. So begins the strip down and service.
