Hi - any suggestions?
Hi all
Have taken the step and ordered a new SV650s in red today from Premier in west wickham. any thoughts or suggestions on mods for it when i get it? also, i see many different views on running it in. so what is the current thought? thrash it or follow the proper procedure? any help would be great! |

Yes.
Leave it dead standard, else risk ending up with one of the pieces of chavvy junk you'll see on this site that make up the sorry majority of 'modded' bikes out there. It'll all end in tears, mark my words.

Mods are down to personal preference really. I'd go for R&Gs and lower fairings, if you like that look. And an aftermarket can is obligatory

modding your bike is all about making it your own
if you like the look of doing something do it some people might say my bike is over the top.......... but i ain't bothered one bit ,because it's mine and il love it  i would say a can first then go from there is one thing having it completely standard,but its a bit crap at a meet or pub when there's loads of bikes the same.  its nice to have something different

LOL Sounds like you are talking about my bike   With regards to modding , Crash bungs(R+G?) is all you need to do. Cheap end can maybe so your original remains mint incase you drop it (touch wood). For the moment just ride it. Once you start modding , it's easy for it to become a full time job .( Northy , svrash know all about that  )

Get a decent can and maybe some smaller indicators. Pretty much all ive done to my bike so far, so it must be good advice

Crash bungs, fenda extenda and rear hugger is the must.
Suzuki should fit them as standard, the tight so and so. |
