My SV's stuck in the rental truck, so went for a ride with my mom today on her TW200 and 650 VStrom (so it's like an SV). Had fun on both bikes, then took the TW out for my first dirt experience and it was awesome. Totally hooked and wanting a dualsport now.
 
Installed a Talon alarm system in my SV last night. Pretty easy too. Took about an hour and most of that time was taken up with just deciding where to run the wiring, the connections using their sv650 kit made hooking it up super easy.

Weekend projects just going to be oil/filter change and coolant replacement.
 
Ordered LED's for the gauges and ordered valve cover gaskets for valve check. Trying to decide if I want to do the 2nd Gen cam swap or not.
 
Nothing for the bike, but I did receive my hi-viz Tourmaster jacket and mesh pants today. The jacket is huge (as in great). It's frying my retinas just hanging in the podicle.
 
washed her and oiled the chain.... btw how do i clean a chain that has dupont spray on it? same as any other method of lubing?

Correct, same as any other. Kerosene will work fine. I use the cleaner that came with my grunge brush and it works very well and I 've never used anything for lube on my SV except the dupont teflon spray. My chain has 17k miles on it now and it still looks great and the sprocket looks good too.
 
i cleaned /oiled my chain , then gave in and ordered the stealth/D.I.D. combo pack,15/46 on a naked 02 couldn't resist my chain took a beating just sitting in my garage,next year my work cover comes home and things like the chain get a little misting of wd or maybe there's better rust inhibitor,also make room and store the sv further back in the garage ,it might actually make a difference seems like most of the oxidation is towarda the back of the bike.
