Hi,
I did an oil and filter change today. Because this SV(which I love dearly) is my first 'modern' bike, I thought I'd take the bottom tidy thingy (what's it really called?) off and generally have a looksee. Tried an allen key on the bolts which attach the thing to the brackets - with no joy at all. I suspected that some form of threadlock was used but this seems a bit over the top. Is it usual? I'm going to change the spark plugs and air filter in the week - anything I should watch out for? TY John |

there are 2 types of threadlock. red and blue. Normally red is used at one end, blue at the other. Red is heavy duty! really strong stuff. Blue can be undone by hand tools - just needs an initial bit of power! and they are actually really that colour- and bright. So you might be able to see which one was used.

There's a good chance that the bolts on a belly pan have seized in place due to it taking a lot of water. Again, I'd wait until someone who's removed one before comes along.

i prefer to use an allen key attachemnt onto a screwdriver, giving more feel to it, getting a nice clean drive, and a more central turning action, i cant stand them things you get with the standard tool kits. |
