I think all of the above are extremely valid points... here's my 2p worth:

Slow down - can't stress this enough, don't ride faster than you can see, in any situation.
Relax - if you're really stressed about your riding, it's not going to make it any easier!
Clean your visor - any crap on it at night, makes seeing past oncoming cars very tedious.
The SV headlights aren't that great... I believe they only come with 45w bulbs. The Philips 55w bulbs are highly recommended (ask Jonboy), and apparently make a massive difference.
