SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

i think you'd have to be very careful not to increase the bhp by fitting a pipe.. you know what the insurance companies are like.. anything to get out of paying up!

We're hoping to pick the SV up tomorrow subject to us not being snowed in!

Weather forecast isn't too hopefull but we can always get it delivered next week if we don't get it this weekend. It's Gemma birthday in a couple of weeks so it will be a nice early Christmas present

Yup bunch of c0ckends.

However if in doubt you could always check it on a dyno, I have a hunch that the stock restrictor kit is set very conservatively, so the likelyhood is there's no problem.
Even if it is making 33.1bhp (slip on adds very little power) then I very much doubt you'd be convicted over 0.1bhp.

oops - that was supposed to say birthday present. Saying that, i'm paying towards it and Gemma's already been warned it's her birthday and Christmas presents all rolled into one for a few years

Thanks for the welcomes. I'll get some decent pics once we've got it home
