SV wise:

Both curvy 650S and pointy 1000N bought new, back to dealer for the 500 service so I could complain about how they'd been final assembled and PDI'd, from then on I do everything.

650: sold at 25,000ish, duff reg/rec replaced with one that works at approx 8-9000 miles.

1000: Now at 18,000 miles, no technical probs thus far, one engine outer case replaced due to a manufacturing fault, (finish).

If an SV650 has a flat tyre in the forest and no-one is there to blow it up, how long will it be 'til someone posts that the reg/rec is duff and the world will end unless a CBR unit is fitted? A little bit of knowledge = a dangerous thing.
