150BHP and rear wheel drive hehe, if traction control is on i get a big amber triangle flash on my dash board every time the wheels loose traction which is anoying so i turn that system off which makes the car come alive

• Drain fuel tank (or put Silkolene Pro FST in tank) so that there's nothing keeping oxygen and damp off the inside
• Blank off air intakes (so little furry creatures dont make their home in it??) yup
• Coat collector box with WD40 not an issue on the SV which has a stainless pipe
• Put paper between brake discs to prevent them from sticking Nah
• But blocks of wood under tyres to prevent contact with cold floor Won't stop flat spots, just move it about every fortnight

So really not a lot of use. Change the oil and give it all a good burst of ACF50. Be right.

Claire, just imagine how nice it would be if there was a GSXR750 in your garage to keep the SV's spot warm for it

i would just chuck it on the optimate, and if its a nice day go out on it

I think she'll need a lot more buttering up than that


Seems sensible to put it away Shell if you're really not going to use it and don't need it, at least you have somewhere to store it properly as opposed to sat outside with just a cover for protection

Nor me, I ride them all through winter just to keep them running.

I'm loving RWD at the moment and can't wait til I need to chuck it in 4WD when the weather turns really crappy.

lol I don`t have a garage here but a GSX would give me something nice to look at whilst washing the dishes
