So I just got my sv650 today, and I absolutely love it. First bike, first time riding, and yeah I'm in heaven. Wish I didn't wait so long to start riding >.<
Anywhooo... There's a few issues with my bike, but I don't think it's anything I can't handle (The previous owner [PO] even threw in the service manual)
Current know issues:
1) Headlights are always on, and I have no highbeams, or I only have highbeams, but basically my switch is pointless and my lights come on with the key. Cool thing tho, PO replaced the giant headlight with some dirtbike piece that has a vert stacked pair with matching paint which rocks cuz I was gonna replace the single with a stacked pair anyway)
2) Speedo/Tach/Odo Meters are all inop (also unable to verify actually milage because of this, but PO estimates it at 5600-5800ish): Need to be replaced. OEM or other compatible gauges will suffice.
3) Radiator took a hit at somepoint, and is bent down some on the left side, but still works like normal. Not sure if I want to make this a major issue, as since it works, it's not a priority anyway.
4) Not sure if I need them to be street legal (FL resident now, but if anyone knows if I do/don't I'd appreciate some clarification), but I need to get some form of blinkers up front, probably gonna do something slick and homegrown with some LEDs and such.
Thats all i got for now, pics will come tomorrow/this weekend, and well... wish me luck ;D
[edit for forgetfulness] - Just to clarify, it's a nekkid 03 with a Yosh exhaust, don't know if its just a slip on or what, but it sounds niiiiiice, also the handlebars are moved up and in some, and uhhhh i heard something about most bikes having factory springs set for 150lb riders and seeing as I haven't been 150 since i was about 14ish... Anyone know if it's a major difference/giant pain in the butt to replace them with something stiffer? Thanks in advance for any and all help =)
