Just as a matter of interest, I thought I would give you an old guys perspective on a few subjects aired on this forum.
I'm in the process of raising the gearing to drop the revs, rather than lowering it to increase acceleration. I've just purchased a stock exhaust system to replace the full Hindle supersport system that was on the bike when I bought it, because I like quiet! I'm quite happy with the stock suspension on my SV650S, especially on the bumpy roads where I live. I change my oil every 2000 kms and my filter every 4000 kms, and I use Castrol Grand Prix. Strangely enough , I like the sporty riding position, in spite of my arthritic thumbs. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Oldie (old fart?) |

Yeah I agree, and one day when my mind catches up with my body I'll probably think that's a good idea, but not for a while yet though.
Cheers Mark.
