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.

Nah i didn't mean that i'm surprised at the amount of chat, it's great
To be honest i don't think i've heard many standard cans which sound anything other than average, i'd have to fit an aftermarket one straight away, but new bikes are a way away at the mo ^.^

Clean it thoroughly and coat it with ACF-50 (NOT BRAKE DISCS, CALIPERS, LEVERS, FOOT RESTS OR GRIPS, it leaves a coating and this isn't the best for grip!), use an Oxford Stormex or Held bike cover (waterproof, heatproof and padded), Disc lock (Motrax Vishas or a Luma one), decent chain (Almax chain with a Luma lock) and a strap to go around the cover to stop it puffing up in the wind and pulling your bike over!

I'm surprised with the amount of replies given that your not female, when a female introduces themselves the posts mount very quickly!!

The K8 gixer and the K5 on CBR600RR standard exhausts both sound great however although the CBR exhaust looks ok, the gixer exhaust looks like a crime!

Hi Thingus

Don't believe all that 'colour doesn't matter' rubbish. Blue curvy's are fastest, end of debate
