Hello all. New around here, and have just bought my first sv.
I also have a ZX6R, but after leaving my job I thought I best downgrade for something cheaper to run and insure. So, here it is. It's got a givi rack and renegade dual exhausts. Besides that its all standard, runs fine and looks in good nick. However, I've a question for anyone with dual exhausts. How do you deal with the chain on top of the pipe, and the side stand on the bottom... My current plan is to get small pieces of metal welded for protection... Oh and after having the chain quickly adjusted by the local garage, they've told me they found a tight spot. Is this something to worry about? ![]() image by Troy Park, on Flickr ![]() image by Troy Park, on Flickr ![]() image by Troy Park, on Flickr ![]() image by Troy Park, on Flickr ![]() image by Troy Park, on Flickr |

I'm not a genius mechanically. But pretty sure a tight spot is normal ware and tear for a chain. And when adjusting slack on a chain it should be adjusted measuring from the tightest spot*

looks mint, but then I be a tad biased
![]() Soo then, welcome now over, am I right in assuming you have a working rev counter? Thought about getting some different/snazzier/gixxer clocks? * *Phase 1 of my evil plan is complete...seed of modification firmly planted... |

Cool nice bike, shame it's not a black one though eh.
Re. tight spot, find where it is, brush some engine oil into it and work it by hand until it frees off.

Clocks work, but I'd love something more visually appealing. Don't worry, got plenty of plans. Thinking belly pan, dual headlights, rear hugger, maybe new bars and bar ends.
Loving the exhausts though, they look awesome from behind. They are obscenely loud though, and still have the baffles in! |

Agree Chris, not the biggest fan of the yellow. However, this was a bargain, and at least it means I'm visible in the winter.
As for the tight spot, how safe is it to ride? Was planning a trip from Bournemouth to Portsmouth on Tuesday to where my brother lives (who has a faired curvy), where we could give it all a proper check over up on stands. |
