Well it's finally happened.... dropped it! - SV650.org

10-09-09, 08:44 PM

After 6 months of ownership and 2500 miles, I ended up dropping my SV tonight. Gutted. I was pushing it back into my drive and it just got away from me and ended resting on the clutch lever (broken) and the front indicator (also knackered). Luckily, I think that's the only damage. I'm so pi$$ed off with myself. Still it could have been a lot worse.....

So I need a new clutch lever and indicator - any ideas? I'm located in South Leicestershire and it's a K3.

I dropped mine the day I got it, putting on the frame sliders. Had one on, and guess which way it fell!

Thanks for the replys - feel a bit better about it now! Just had a look on the bay and can get a lever for under a tenner - I've no idea if there is much difference in quality between different levers and indicators?

Any pointers towards a reliable supplier would be appreciated!

Cheers all.

go oem for quality shouldnt be that much for a suzuki dealer to source you some.

As I asked in first reply, ya indies are they the normal standard ones as I may have one tucked away in my mums garage. If so I will go digging tomorrow for you. It'll be an original Suzuki one if I have.

You could try MCA in Leicester for pattern or go to Redcar for oem's.
