just worked it all out, for thoughs interested.

it's about 955 mile a week for the complete life of the bike.

my record (in this country anyway) on the SV is about 700 mile in a day (had to go to Preston).

Cheers Mark.

Once again, Damn.
I ride to preston from near Southampton occasionally, I always stay over.
My record in one day is only about 320, to Cardiff and back in one evening.

People went on about my bike having changed all the bits over time, well now it’s true.

Engine change, coils changed, reg/rectifier changed, lock set changed, CDI unit changed, swing arm bearings, head race changed, yokes changed, lock set changed, fork oil changed, another pair of front indicators added, oil change, carbs stripped and cleaned, air filter cleaned and re-oiled. Tank drained and cleaned, fuel system cleaned through, Rad flushed. Rad cover Mod and fitted (for naked bike),
Re-tapping side pod (black covers) fixings and saddle mounts, straighten the front fairing frame, left hand clipon changed, switch gear (LH) changed.

Still to do: - got a swing arm to replace, new scottoiler end to put on, bobbins to put back on, tighten up head bearings once they’re seated properly.

And what did you do yesterday?

Cheers Mark.

What can I say Don't tell me the 8 hours included your 'fag breaks' as well . Ok Mr Suzuki dealer' see that list above, that what needs doing on my bike. How long did you say it was going to take?... (answers on a post card).

Cheers
