TimC 198 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Congrats on that wonderful machine! I've seen a couple around my area or region recently, which is remarkable as they're pretty rare here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain 80s 187 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Is that a thin o-ring to check travel on the right fork? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Member Contributer Dutchy 3121 Posted July 17 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 17 It does. In the olden days we'd use a tie-wrap. Prior to that, a tapping sound meant something was hitting the top of the front fender; this was an indication of excess travel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Member Contributer Dutchy 3121 Posted July 17 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 17 Little curious as to why you'd fit the OEM anchors, euh I mean mufflers... Are those Yoshimuras way too loud? If not done already, I'd whip out the multimeter and do "The Drill" on the altenator (Ohm and Vac), the battery (Vdc) charging/the RR output and have the battery load tested. Set suspension (sag etc) to your weight, don your leathers and ride her like you stole her!!! PS: good move to replace them -ahem- "tasteful" red anodised levers and bolts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PS: good move to replace them -ahem- "tasteful" red anodised levers and bolts Agreed Dutchy, the red anodized bits had to go. Yes the Yosh pipes sounded great but for how I will use this bike on street just way too loud, I felt like I could be heard from miles away, I don't mind having to lose trouble when found but don't need them to be sitting ahead waiting for me if you know what I mean. Tell me more about "the drill"? Is there something the RC is prone to for electrics? The bike is all stock as far as electronics go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Member Contributer Dutchy 3121 Posted July 17 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 17 In Dutch we know the abbreviation IWA Ik Wil Aandacht Which works in English too I Want Attention.... Back in 2012, @gradus kindly lend me his 6th gen for TMAC. Prior to attending, I rode through Georgia, Alabama en Tennessee (to visit @skuuter). The pipes were gutted so long and behold, a police cruiser in some hick town was lurking behind a billboard (Blues Brothers anyone? 😎😄😄) and got right on my tail until I crossed the county line.... Bought my SP2 with Laser GP pipes w/o any wool left.... Like 102dba+ They were replaced pronto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cat0020 57 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Picked up another SV for $600. 01 model, nearly stock, under 8k miles, less than 30 miles ridden in the last 7 years, have been sitting in the last 2 years. No rust inside the fuel tank. Will need chain/sprockets, fork seals, all fluids, etc.. It will be a nice & easy winter project, make a quick profit next spring.
