Newb here! huzzah! and help...

If having the clutch correctly adjusted doesn't make any difference, check the push rod in the clutch- I had a problem with mine that gradually went worse until the clutch finally stopped working, checked it and the push rod was snapped cleanly in two! You can get a manual (I'd download the owners manual and the other one as well) on the faq section of the main site.

dyziowg, looking great with that full fairing!! excuse me as I wander off to the for sale section.. *ooohss and aahhss*

Chakraist .. thanks for reminding me on the manuals I've been meaning to grab em!

This weekend is going to be all bike! cant wait.. goodbye social life! (not that I had one) haha

I'm of the understanding (correct me anyone if I'm wrong) that the SV can be a pig to get into neutral if the oil is over topped up. When I got mine (albeit a pointy) it was generously topped up and I had difficulty with neutral. Got it serviced, fresh oil and slightly less of it and it was easy to get into neutral.
