Bobbins and Clutch - SV650.org

23-07-05, 08:18 PM

Hi, new to the site and thanks to reading through some of this forum, I know I'm not alone is not being able to see anything but my elbows in my mirrors but can anyone help with a source of crash bobbins for a fully faired old style 650 that don't need bits cut out of the fairing? And are all sv650s so on/off with the clutch, slow riding through traffic seems a bit trickier than with other bikes but I don't want to start fiddling about with the clutch or throttle set up if they're all like this????????

R&G do bungs that don't require you to cut the fairing... And they seem to work, don't ask me how I know

As for the clutch, I wouldn't call it on/off at all. It does need a fairly gentle hand but no more than many other bikes. Could be yours just needs a bit of TLC. If you want a lighter action you can remove the "safety" switch from underneath- the one that stops you starting the bike without the cliutch in.

the new r&g's are prob the best but not very nice to look at, but at the end of the day they do there job well.
