not a lot looks wrong with this tire,.. other than the obvious burnout,.. I love my storms,.. it looks like it was in great condition,.. I would have bought it from you as a replacement,..

 

[Woody67]

Carved it up in the twisties, 2.5x over rpcsl's, (nice to know the road) got to the edge of my PP2CT's... Love that rubber..!!!!!!!!!!!:nana:

(You know you are workin it hard, when you hardly ever let off, and you can smell your engine...! - do these things ever blow up???)

RPCL - Reduced Posted Corner Speed Limit

 

[xtremewlr]

Drilled holes in the top triple and installed risers for new bars. Need to get new brake lines before I can install the bar tho.

 

[skadeni]

Added a 12V (cigarette lighter style) power outlet, controlled by a relay. This is to power my GPS.

 

[dan46n2]

Pulled the clipons off to sell, got the new bolts for the new triples...
Put my SM wheels back on my DRZ so I can start riding that while the SV is apart....

 

[pputkowski]

Installed bar end mirror and cleaned up the rear end a little in preparation for new plate bracket.

 

[MBIKEN]

[barwell1992]

orderd a gsxr1000 shock and a abba stand also a torque wrench and then sealed the exhaust as it was leaking from the gasket

Installed my new clutch cable. While I was at it, I flipped my shift linkage around to invert the shift pattern. I'm back on the road, just in time for the first chance of rain in the last week and a half.

 

[skadeni]

Adjusted the clutch with R1Jon's clutch adjustment angle tool. Was a snap not to have to guess that 85 degree angle anymore.

After I rode it to work today blowing 3 downshifts and 1 upshift in about 7 miles of surface streets, I "reverted" the shift linkage back to normal. I'm sure I would have gotten used to it, but to what purpose? While I was getting accustomed, a much larger portion of my meager brain power would be diverted to something that took no thought before, thus adding an extra distraction.

Even when it becomes second nature, it really is no advantage to me over the standard pattern. I was going to say I'm no Ben Spies, but it would be more accurate to say I'm not even close to Joe the Novice Club Racer (soon to be exploited by a political campaign in your neighborhood! ;D).

 

[pputkowski]

finished the diy fender eliminator...

 

[longshanks]

put on my new Givi topcase. I can finally get some grocery shopping done

 

[Packman]

Shaved the seat on the 05' and put in a gel pad to help with the comfort level.

 

[pputkowski]

Did this too

GP shift FTW!!
I like it when I'm in a left hand turn and I need to shift to a higher gear. Also, it's a lot easier IMO to just stomp on the shifter, even when going in a straight line... Besides, my size 14's dont like being shoved beneath the shifter and my toes used to scrape the ground quite often! Also, I use engine breaking a lot, so I generally only downshift while the bike is completely upright (not the case with upshifting).

It did take me a few hundred miles to get used to it, but IMO it was WELL worth the time. BTW, It confuses me to ride a "normal" bike now. Haha.

Only thing I did today that was SV-related was pick up the R1 calipers that a friend machined -1mm, so they will (hopefully!) fit on my 05 GSXR forks with an 06 rim and OEM 310mm rotors!

 

[Dnepr]

What I'm about to do...

Increase the chain slack from a whooping 2mm at tightest point to 25mm (Thank you dealership first service!!!!) The chain is literally sprung like a bow string, too bad only noticed it after 300ish miles...

 

[RaffyD]

Took delivery of my sv today, about to hit the brooklyn dmv for registration, and then I'm hightailing it home to ride for the rest of the day.;D

Last night, I went to push it into its parking slot at home, and heard a high pitched squeel from the front wheel, I also felt some fork oil around the fork bottoms. I was sure I followed the instructions to the letter when I did the upgrade, but I freaked thinking I hadn't tightened the damper rod bolts enough.

After dinner I went and got some good lithium grease, tore the wheel off, checked the bolts and thoroughly cleaned the fork bottoms. Then I regreased the speedometer sensor and the axle and buttoned everything back up. The squeel was gone. This morning on my ride to work I did a few really hard stops at some traffic lights, and checked the forks when I arrived. They were clean as a whistle.

Moral of the story: Always thoroughly clean everything when you are working on it, so you won't be fooled into thinking you did something wrong.
