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

I weigh 175 without gear. And the springs are stock but the are within spec... I was seriously considering getting new springs or doing a GSXR front fork swap. But....we will just call it money issues (broke college student).

^ 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.

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.

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.

 

[MonkeyBone]

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.

sucks doesn't it? glad some one gets to share the pain with me though.

i am going OEM. but that's because i work at suzuki dealer and get cost plus 5 for suzuki parts. i would stay away from barnett clutches.

kg factory supplies a lot of bike manufactures clutch components, a friend of mine jsut replaced his SV clutch with kg and saved quite a bit compared to OEM but he's at a triumph dealer nonetheless..

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.

 

[twinsRin]

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

 

[CalamityConcept]

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.

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

 

[MonkeyBone]

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

 

[Lost1888]

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

 

[ddrees]

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.
