Re: I'm a new SV Owner!
Thanks for the comments and the welcome folks.
Good spot on the chain, I'll have to get that looked after. With the trials bikes we used to clean the chains then cook 'em in graphite grease, do people do that with road bikes too? Or just normal oil? And with regards to the trials riding, mud and knobbly tyres are easier to handle than road tyres and salt/ice/snow/diesel! So I'll be taking it easy! No idea what screen it is I'm afraid, I was told it's not a standard one but don't know any more than that! I can get tucked in behind it alright though, but then it feels like the wind is trying to rip you off when you sit up for roundabouts etc!!! |

Clean with paraffin and re-lube, I use old engine oil, is the common method with road bikes. |
