[zarlor]

+1.. told 'er to rest-up, long weekend comin'

Wired my Vapor indicator lights and cleaned up the wiring a little bit. Awaiting my headlight setup to permanently mount it and its wires. Works and looks very nice!

Trail Tech went to a dark, colored, translucent plastic for the indicators (they all look black when not lit). Kinda hard to see during the day.

Yes, very very hard to see during the day. I'd love to find some better ones.

Cleaned air filter and did a carb sync.

I washed mine...

... well I rode it rather hard in a pretty serious rain storm.

 

[turnenem]

New amsoil, filter, and a little throttle twisting:hug: Gotta keep the bond fresh!

I spent the last 45 minutes tweaking the wiring job on the new Koso gauges. I also cleaned up the wiring in general, but it still looks like ****. Once my midpipe comes in and I fab up a permanent gauge mount, I'll hopefully be doing a decent write-up on the whole thing.

rode to school.

oil change, it was the odd one so I didn't change the filter.

changed the air filter.

rode to our league's fantasy football draft. hate to do it, but i'm gonna have to root for a couple cowboy players this year.

GO BOLTS!

Dropped it in the rose bushes in front of the house! and got all pricked up trying to stand it up again!

 

[Wizid]

I'm in the process of replacing it with a '73 Triumph. The Blue one... the Red one is my old '73 Triumph which became a Triton.. So actually if anyone's in the market...

 

[yashuone]

that's funny... my sv replaced my t140v!

 

[Wizid]

Tis those simple ironies in life!

 

[yashuone]

great bikes though, i loved mine. i just did not like the maintenance/tinkering to actual riding ratio. if i could have several bikes i would contemplate another one though. enjoy!

 

[Wizid]

indeed. I bought the SV for dead reliable transport - and it IS... but I just, I find myself thinking of ways to make it more like an old Triumph (or Norton) - an old British roadster.. In the end it's cheeper to just buy an old Triumph and sell the Suzuki.

Ways to make the SV like an Old Brit Bike

(1)nick the wiring harness in a few places
(2)loosen the ground cable on the battery
(3)replace all the metric hardware with some odd measuring system used by Druids
(4)wack your self in the shin/knee/ankle with something heavy (to simulate the result of kickstarting process)
(5)get over the notion that ANYTHING about an old Norton/Triumph/BSA is "cheeper", the best running one is still a maintainence nightmare

(6) to accomplish this all in one fell swoop.....push the SV off a cliff and it will roughly be equivalent to maintaining/restoring an "Old Brit Roadster".


and YES...I am allowed to make these claims ( see pic ).

With old Brit crocks...it's not bike ownerdship....it's a lifestyle choice akin to root canal.

 

[yashuone]

LOL

hmmm how can i put lucas electronics in my sv?

spose i should put this up...
source of many bloody knuckles and callouses that i have to this day

 

[yashuone]

no more need to keep a peice of plywood under my bike to keep the oil off the driveway

 

[cantseejack]
