New oil/filter.
Going to try getting the exhaust on today too.

 

New Tires (Pilot Pure), new front brake pads (Brembo) and new fairing integrated signals

New Pilot Powers and DID chain!

 

New muffler, R. rearset, tires & Fazzo's

 

My K6 has 28,830 miles soooooooooo...... it was time to check the valves. I just wanted to get it done; it could have been delayed for about a week, but I prefer to get this kind of thing done and over with.

I'm glad to report that all valves were in spec. Thank GOD!!

Put in new plugs, since the plugs have to be pulled to check the valves. Everything works, went for a short ride and no leaks, either.

Now I can ride with that special feeling one gets when you know the valves are OK for another 14,500 miles. What a relief!

 

Replaced the Front fork seals and fork oil on my bike....Im pretty sure that niether has been done before in the 16,xxx miles that the bike has been rode. Needless to say there was some nasty stuff down at the bottom.

I replaced with a ten weight oil rather the 5 I believe was in there. I took it for a short ride and it seems to be better, but not the ridiculous change in feel that people have claimed.

What's your weight? Do you have stock fork springs?


I bled my brakes last night- speedbleeders make this SOOO much easier, plus my homemade mityvac (a large plastic syringe w/ tubing to the bleeder for vacuum) and they were done quick.
Started organizing the tail section for layout of electrical components.

 

^ Which speedbleeders did you use? I'm interested in them just not sure if I need to worry about brand, there's a lot of cheap ones floating around.

Last night I adjusted the TPS, you would think with all the technology available in modern times Suzuki would be able to equip their bikes with a more accurate and simpler way to adjust the fuel injection sensor rather than turning that knob back and forth a dozen times. I got it to up at about 1550 RPMs, it would constantly cut out when I went below 1500.

I got them from http://www.speedbleeder.com/

 

Primed and sanded :l . Hopefully tomorrow I can finish sanding and shoot color sunday afternoon. I would love to actually be able to ride next weekend.

 

fried my clutch.

 

Me too... :facepalm:
Any recommendations for a good new one ?

 

Put a new chain and sprockets on and cleaned it all up.

 

Removed the passenger pegs and mounts and installed an Ebay muffler bracket.

 

Installed radiator, new shifter, new light bulbs and painted some rash on barends.

Waiting for the front cowling to arrive next week.

 

got a complete 07 GSXR 1000 front end w/ front wheel and brakes for 200$ from some guy who needed money to get his truck out of the impound lot.. what a deal

 

Oil and filter. Meant to do plugs too, but forgot to get them at the dealer yesterday.

 

I mourned the recent loss of my SV today by looking at the blown up picture of it on my wall, then went off and serviced my hilux surf

 

I replaced the vacuum caps on the throttle bodies. All of them had cracks and made the bike run really bad. The bike is 5 years old and the caps on SV's will crack, so here's a heads up to keep an eye on them. They are a tiny part, but when they crack and leak, they cause some real headaches.

Didn't have a chance to ride, since a nasty thunderstorm was about to show up. But I did get the bike washed and put back into the garage before it started raining.

Thanks! Yeah, I had replaced mine when I did my TB sync and they were cracked a few months after that already...so this time I put 12" of vacuum line on each nipple for my TB sync and put a hex screw in each end. It works great and now I only have to lift my tank and grab hoses from next to airbox to do my TB sync

 

Looked at it a lot. I also measured up how a Buell xb fly screen would fit and now I think I'm going to buy one off of Ebay.

 

check the valves. all in spec at 38,000mi!!!

 

Got rid of my stock front tire and rode 100+ miles to scrub in the new one. I don't know how much of it's in my head vs the new tires performance, but the bike feels a lot easier on turn in.

 

Purged coolant lines, removed snorkel. Front cowling is coming home thursday. Can't wait.

 

Replaced turn signal. Other one wore out. That's what happens when you go on the cheap.

 

Installed the motosliders and swing arm spools I got from Blair. These things are solid, I'm glad I went ahead and fronted the money for them.

 

They did their job really well in my accident! Gas tank is scratch-free!

 

Yea I've been lurking around this forum for a while and finally picked up my first SV650 at the beginning of April. After reading what everyone on here had said about motosliders I decided that those should be the first thing I do to the bike.

 

I Changed her oil and filter, cleaned and lubed the chain Next week I hope I'll be able to have the time to do a radiator flush, which it has probably never been done since it came out of the factory (2006)...
