Dropped It!!!

Drop my bike this morning on the way to work, bloody annoying! First time I've done that, everyone said that you will drop it at some point but I was determined not too but 'life is a bitch'

Anyway, only damage was the indicator getting smashed, so looks like i have something to do this weekend. Indicator shopping!!

Is it the standard indicator i think i have one of them

Sorry to hear about your fall. I also thought I'd never drop my bike, but a couple of years ago, I forgot the disc lock was on, and tried to ride off (luckily, I'm not one to tear off, and pulled off slowly). Ended up on the floor, with just a broken front brake lever.

I too have standard unused indies in the garage somewhere.

Let me know which one you need.

Cheers for the offer of the OEM indicators.

I'm thinking I may change the OEM indicator to after market ones.

Is it straight forward fitting after market indicators to a SV650s??

yes it is really a bit fiddly, i would recoment either some bullet connectors or some spade connectors, your need on either end and obiously opposites on the bike, then connect them up, it takes a little bit of cutting the wires and stripping them and that you can fit the two wires together, i dont know if it matters but there is a black one with a hite line on the indicator and one on the bike, join them together and then connect the other two together.


for the front your need a adapter plate called an indy spacer i think. have a look at HG and places like that sell them

You also need to consider that fact tha if you go down the LED route, the LED units have a different resistance to a standard bulb, hence will also need an inline resistor to fool the flasher unit into flashing at the correct speed - not a big deal but ask at the shop and they should be able to guide you.

Glad you are alright! Going to give us any more embarrassing details

Almost had an off myself this morning. Some muppet in a white van decided to to give me a gentle shove into the gutter and scratched up my exhaust. *sigh* Guess I'll have to buy some polish now.
