Kind assistance required in Kent - SV650.org

Hi,

I've just bought a 1999 SV650S from a mate who had left it standing outside

, it was covered!!!

He told me the carbs were flooding, turned out the leaking petrol was a hole in the tank. Brakes binding, stripped and cleaned the calipers and now sorted.

I've spent some time cleaning and servicing it, oil/filter, new battery, new fork oil & fresh coolant etc.

The last job apart from the valve clearances is to balance the carbs, I dont think this has ever been done!

Having spent out quite a bit getting up and running I can't (not allowed) afford to buy any vacuum gauges. So if anyone in Kent has any I could use, I would be very greatfull.

I'm in Ashford, I'm more than happy to balance them on your drive, so you can keep sight of them

Many thanks

Matt

Might be worth dropping a message into the SELKENT section
