Observant? - SV650.org

Apparently I am not. I've owned this SV for 6 years and only just noticed that the turn signal switch lever is not symmetrical. It has a ramp on the left hand edge to make it easier to push for right turns and a vertical edge on the right hand side to make it easier to pull back for left turns.

I have no idea if my 2 curvies were the same, so: no, I'm not observant.

Nope, not like it on the curvy afaik - unless I am also unobservant!

For me, the horn button is too close to the indicator switch. All too often I beep the horn when cancelling the indicators, especially with winter gloves on.

Same here. Have got used to it a bit more now, but was a real pain at first. I think I've also managed to accidentally hit the full beam too.

Ok I'm unobservant. I've spent the last 12 years happy in the belief that my indicator knob is symmetrical, only now to discover it's not!

Sorry for ruining it for you. Maybe we can start a support group?
