Wish icould post pix but dint have a computer.
I can email someone pix if they can post them for me??

 

Who has time for a computer with all the tail that your new bike must be raking in.

 

Oooooooo! I think I finally fixed it! Found a VERY loose connector between the frame and the motor all the way at the front. Someone recommended checking the dreaded "Green Connector" and, while it was fine, when I was trying to get it loose, I nudged the black connector next to it and it popped wide open. Totally explains the symptoms and the blown fuse. While I was there I de-snorkeled it out of spite lol. Took it for a quick ride, and it felt pretty sprightly. The TRE probably had a lot to do with that, it did feel really peppy down low. So far, I'm a fan, and *fingers crossed* actually fixed it properly.

Tomorrow the wife and I are going to Cycle Gear to get a new jacket and a pair of gloves for her. We'll probably have her drive and I'll take the bike in the chance that it's still having an issue, so we're not both stranded lol

 

SWAPPED Out the sv650s 2 trunk snorkel for a sv1000's 3 trunk snorkel..

I've lost top end speed, but i can easily get up to 100mph "ON RAMP" before even entering the highway...

if you are a highway rider i would not recommend putting a 48t sprocket and the sv1000 snorkel...

with 45t sprocket and regular snorkel i reached (or so my speedo says) 151mph

since the 2 upgrades i can now barely go over 120-125

 

Sprockets and air tubes aside... there is no way in hell.... speedo error included that a SV650 will come close to 150mph... mid 130s maybe... 150? not likely unless your speedo was waaaay out...

unless it was down hill.... with a back wind and a very long road or something... or unless it is not really a SV650 and it is a SV1000

as far as the sv1000 tube goes.... I've not changed out stock sprocket sizes but with it breathing better I hit higher 0-60 times and top speed when I added the sv1000 airbox tube... it was minimal.. but there...

the later K&N, full M4 and power commander did add a bit more all around..

the SV1000 tube works for me...

your story about 150 before and 125 after is bullsh!t... unless your speedo is freaking out and doing stupid things.... the SV will only do 125-135

150 even with massive speedo error is hard to believe on a SV650

a smaller rear sprocket and a larger front should help with top speeds, but it will take longer to get up there...

 

Rode her out to Cycle Gear to order a new jacket and pick up some gloves for the wife, and replaced my gloves. Their return policy is the business! This is one place where I don't regret going a little cheap the 1st time around. I originally bought some BILT (CG store brand) boots and gloves. The boots went to crap and were straight swapped for a set of mo-betta A* boots, and the stitching on the Velcro for my gloves was coming apart, so they gave me a full refund to put towards a new pair. Picked up a pair of these.

Now we wait for the moto-sliders to come in and maybe I'll be done f***in' with it for a while

 

yeah I got the A-stars SMX-2 Air Carbons myself

 

Removed the over-the-bar mirrors and handlebar muffs (which allowed me to ride at below freezing temps all through the winter) and reinstalled my bar-end mirrors and hand guards to ride under the current not-so-cold temperatures.


She looks prettier now ;D

 

Came home for spring break. Pulled her out of storage and went for a ride!

 

yesterday i fixed my bar end issue thanks to some of the great ideas of some members.

 

Ill try posting up pix today lol.
My sv1 is one of a kind lol but sadly my gf scares off all the girls that
Stop to look at my bike

 

I finally installed the M4 exhaust. Sounds SO much better now!

and then I went for a ride to make sure all was ok.

 

Blew all the sawdust off of it from my latest woodworking project.

 

this should say....

Blew all the sawdust off of my latest woodworking project with it.

 

I tipped it over.

 

Very nice pic indeed

 

You should move your upper body/head off more and lower

 

That's my lazy pose. That pic was taken towards the end of the session and I was all tuckered out. I'll be sure to post up a more aggressive one next time. I just like that photo but thanks for the advise.

 

Vids r up on youtube of my sv1 and my brothers sv650
Look at my channel. Emoheart656 ( long story short my ex made that account
For me)

 

No worries. it's all good.

 

Yes it is

 

Installed SV Racing Parts rearsets, Sargent seat, Power Commander III, and am waiting on a new flyscreen and the beginning of my front forks parts.

Sent from my communications device using Motorcycle.com App

 

just got the tail plastics off and the undertray so i can get further in the swingarm swap

 

Test-mounted my SVRP clip-ons. They would be mounted for good, except that I have been sick as a dog since Friday and haven't had a chance to try to get a replacement throttle tube from the local shops. (Going to just go with a R6 tube, based the other thread I started.)

As such, I just mocked everything up, and didn't fine-tune placement or tighten everything down.



Also, put new coils on my '78 GS550E. Supposed to rain tomorrow, so hopefully Tuesday I'll get to see if they were really the root of the problems I was having.

 

Ran automotive electrical tubing and wiring to the front and installed 2 12v accessory plugs. Checked the green connector for potential issues and checked all of the fluids. Took a couple snapshots and now I am off to try to get a new battery.

 

took it out of storage

 

Got the battery.....a nice AGM one too.....lol Waiting for it to stop bubbling so I can charge it. Anticipating a ride to work in the morning that won't risk leaving me frustrated.

 

Not my SV, but I did help a friend put his back together after being painted. He took it apart himself, but couldn't remember which piece went where exactly.

 

Fresh oil and cleaned the chain.

 

Installed Penske 8987 and Puig double bubble windscreen then rode it 400 miles

 

TPS adjustment Was factory set at well over 3k :|
