Y'ello!

I went on a boating holiday round the norfolk broads once, and I fell in the river at norwich in all my clothes, just before the whole family went off for a meal.

Anywho, welcome to the forums

Bear is very freindly

Well i passed and have run up several hundred miles on the SV and loving it!!!!!!

A couple of minor queries about the bike though. I seem to be having troubles with the clutch periodically dragging causing the bike to slowly move forward even though the clutch is in, the second problem is third gear is sometimes hard to select. The bike has been stood since late 2007 so i suspect some good hard use would not go amiss!

Give it an oil change and check the chain adjustment, that's always a good start.

I have done both mate and it is a bit better, the funny thing is it is not all the time. The chain and sprockets need replacing because it has a really bad tight spot on it, i am trying to work it out by adjusting the chain to the tight spot daily and lubricating it with heavy gear oil as recommended by the local dealer. Its not getting any better so i think it will have to be done soon!
