12 Bandit tae sv650 curvy

Guys...I Had a 12 Bandit fur a wee while... although I liked it , it also felt a bit of a heavyweight fur me.. the straight line power is amazing.. but not useable...today I sold teh 12 an bought a 2000 sv 650 curvy...Naked... its ok, it feels like am riding a 250..ye have tae wind it on tae get a feel fur Power... an the handling.....well the front feels very juddery, ???any thoughts on this????and it needs wound up tae really perform.... is it jist me or do the wee sv`s lack o bit a get up an go.????

You might need to stick with it till your power expectation adjusts, usually takes me a couple of weeks at least to learn a new bike and have the power ready for overtakes n stuff, like learning a new job or girlfriend sort of thing.

and in English???

Is he pis*ed???

Mabozzar-if you want to write like that its your choice mate but as i said if you want people to post back comments /opinions etc on what you post you'll need to write it so that they will be able to read it-its hard enough for some people south of the border to understand the scottish accent when its been spoken to them never mind written, but if you decide to continue to write the way you have its your choice-

...an the fact that your Scottish ye want me tae Write in English rather than ma native tongue

I'm British mate-passport says so ,loyal to the crown, god save the queen,true to the red,white and blue,etc
your native tongue is Gaelic anyway

From Hamilton so I speak the same as you but choose not to write that way-peace to you man

I would expect a 650 SV to have less power than a bandit 1200! You'll get used to it again though, just need to readjust. Front feels juddery? Sounds like it needs balancing to me.

Loving it
But I see why you Jocks tend to post everything in SV Ecosse

Anyway, just make sure it's not restricted. If it can achieve way more than 110 then you can strike that off.
And the front, well welcome to budget SV suspension, although surprised it's any worse than a Bandit

Aye Husky....A know whit yer sayin...but everyone else seems tae be adaptin....an a know its Gaelic....the Roots... but a think ye also know whit am sayin wi the way wee talk...an some o us write, as ave saw it afore...ma passport says British also....but a wish it said Scottish...am Fur Scotland...but a have many many English Friends...am Not true Blue or fur the queen....but it takes ALL tae make up this GREAT British Empire...so nuff said eh....mabozzar
