Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.
What did you do to your SV today? (mods, farkles, maintenance, etc)

Checked my front valves, all is well. One intake at .004 other is .005, exhaust is a matching .008. Wife's going to get groceries and get me some gasket sealant and I'll put it back together. Should go check the rear. With over a foot of snow on the ground, what's the rush. Can't leave it half finished though. Back to work.

Unloaded it back out of my truck after NOT getting to go on a planned ride up up in the NC hills due to injuring my freakin' EYE yesterday afternoon. No big deal... just got a grain of sand up under my eyelid while working up under a truck and it scratched my eye pretty good. Not recommended. The weather was AMAZING today too. Very bummed.

Within the last month... Sonic Springs install and fork oil change, Delkevic SS Stubby exhaust, Napoleon bar end mirrors, Tech Spec gripster pads, ordered cat o-rings for throttle lock after a miserable fail trying to get an NEP CC4 to work (that thing doesn't even come close to working with stock grips).
So jealous of you guys in the south. No riding for me for a good long time. 2 feet of snow pack and looks like more on the way for Connecticut. When's April again?

I started it, looked at it, made sure the battery was still good, then shut it off. :-[

When SV's are on the side stand, you had better NOT see oil in the window.First thing I noticed was that it's an SV1000 and then I noticed that there's no oil in the filler window.

Yep. It was one of those hurry up and mount it moments. Was rectified right after the pic.

Rode "seriously" for the first time after 10 months!!!!
Wow, im amazed the way she did it.
Finding my center of gravity that low (when i first bought it i put a handlebar and risers for an upcoming trip) whas the most challenging thing to do while riding on that twisty road. But i guess ill need more miles on it and do some suspension tweak cuz it kinda sucks the feeling im getting with my gxsr front end and 07 zx10 rearshock.
Delkevic mini 8" hahaha funny stuff, great and agressive sound but it was backfire's festival on every gear in deacceleration Kinda love it when sun goes down or inside a 4miles tunel where i was going. Woah, too lound
Anyhow, i know youre buried in the snow so youll hate me for having a good time in the summer season with my almost-finished-rebuild sv
PD:
Now i know why i like this bike so much

Did you take a soft rubber mallet to the calipers and master to make sure you got all the tiny bubbles out?
Also, after your first ride, bleed it again. The ride will bring all the leftovers to the top.

Installed the new unbent subframe and cleaned up the tail wires
Noticed the headlight bulb I installed burned out. Prolly got some oil on it when I swapped it from the donor headlight. Good thing i have a spare.

Finished mounting up a "Hella Blackmagic" offroad light as my new headlight.
