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)

Took it for a quick test ride, and it's still losing electrical power at random times... only thing that seems to affect it is the position of the handlebars. WTF?

Anyone ever had theirs do THAT before?!

I let the Copper silicone on the can set up for about 4 or 5 hours and it was ready for the road. No leaks, no drama.

Yeah it was something ridiculous. I read others having the issue and it being a loose chain so I set it to about 1.25".
I rolled it forward and checked it in a few places and it was roughly there for what I thought was the whole chain... checked again a few minutes ago when I threw on my swingarm sliders and it turns out there's a section of links that's completely fubar - when they grab the rear sprocket, it went almost completely taut. I haven't ridden it other than the test ride to see if the noise went away and I'm not riding her until I get the new chain on with that much stretch on those links.

Installed my Rizoma track 77 signals on the rear. Tried to solder my finger in the process. Fun times.

Not what I did to my SV, but to my Ninja ZX-6R. I sold it for the same price I bought it for. Since I'm anticipating a more harsher financial future, I definitely could use the extra money and I've already got another SV (a 1st gen, they're definitely my favorite) lined up for purchase as my main ride.

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

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

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

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
