Mechanical Advice.....
Have a mate with an 86 Kwak GSX750 I think- has been nicked twice in the last month and come back in a state each time.....
Have advised on Security, but cant advise on the following - an extract from an email on his current concerns. "3: A check of the fuel system to find out why the engine is in the habit of sometimes loosing power when I get down to around the half tank mark. 4: Find and fix a leak (not sure if it's oil, coolant or whatever but the bike does tend to leave a puddle behind when I park her)." Any thoughts, comments? Personally I think he was ripped off by the place that sold it to him, have told him about some of the £1400 ish SVs in the for sale section - but if they are nicking his rather tatty Kwak, what chance does he have with a nice SV.

 I would advise him to move to different area! If the locals are willing to nick a ****heap like that then what chance would a nice sv have?  Seriously though I only got £1400 p/x for my 02 plate curvy 's' mdel in mint condition!! (Robbing gits but I had to have my xjr  )
