Default A noobie says Hello

Howdoo. I've been lurking on here for a couple of months after deciding that I wanted an SV650 as my first bike. Picked her up last Friday, and all I can say is, I've made the right decision. She's a K4 with a smidge under 9k on the clock, apart from needing a service and tax, she's good to go.



After reading all the FAQ's, I don't think I have any stoopid newb questions, apart from is it worth buying a toolkit for the bike as it was missing when I checked in the stowage?

Only the spark plug spanner really, everything else is easily sourced elsewhere and of better quality

Updated my location Shellywoozle, I'm in Stamford

I already have a pretty good toolkit maviczap, so I'll take your advice. The only thing I don't have is a tool to adjust the rear shock, any ideas where I could get one?

Thanks mate, I wasn't sure if it was a particular sized spanner or a universal size.
