Hi as above i am going to look at a sv650 sk7 tomorrow with 10000 miles on the clock. This will be my first big bike i currently ride a r125 and a ktm 250 sxf (offroad). So is there anything that i should watch out for when i have a look at the bike/ reliability issues. Also i am going to have it restricted to 33bhp, is that just a case of a new ecu from a dealer. Thanks alot also how much do you think it is worth. Thanks Brad.

I can only answer one question, and that is about the ECU.
You can get a 33bhp ECU from ebay or often on here in the "For Sale" sections. Normally about £50. Dealers charge a lot for the ECUs (hundreds) - and they are dead easy to fit, 5 mins and only takes a couple of allenkeys to get to it. |

Can't really say what it's worth without more detail ... Condition, fsh, tax, mot if it's due one.
Mainly condition though. Drops, general maint etc. |

From experience of buying an SV that turned out to be fairly neglected, I have found the only reliability issues on mine to be electrical issues, not really something you can check that easily but if the bike looks in good nick, well maintained and with reasonable mileage on it, then you may not get the same problems.
Price for an SK7 with 10k would be around 2.5k I would guess, that's based on a search on bike trader for a 3 y/o bike, dealer price was around 2.5k with around 8k miles |

Any damage,service history,how many owners and condition of tyres brakes chain and when does it next need a service?Given that it is now three years old these factors affect value hugely.

Ok cheers for that it has both keys. Do you think it is worth only between 2-2.4k
