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)

Brakes: Did you possibly overlook the bleed nipple on the master cylinder? (assuming your GSXR forks came with a radial MC)
Maybe try wrapping a strap around the grip and lever to squeeze it and let it sit overnight.
Another potential fix (if I remember it correctly) is to remove the cap of your reservoir, take a little fluid off the top, then gently squeeze the pistons back into your calipers to dislodge any bubbles and let them float up and out.
WHEELIES: I hope you overfilled your oil, or else your engine will assplode. ;D

Nah I decided to take all the oil out of the engine. That way i wont waste oil by overfilling and there wont be lopsided oil once I stand the sucker up and ride a 10 mile wheelie
I dont have GSXR forks, just the GSXR internals. I have the stock sv650 tubes with gsxr cartridges inside. The svrider.com member "pattonme" performed the work and they are wonderful!
Ill have to try those two bleeding methods you suggested. Thanks.

I'm jealous of how much you've gotten done in such a short time. It seems to take me 2x-3x the amount of time to get something done compared to so many here. I know I'm doing the stuff for the first time ever (hubby took care of everything), but it gets discouraging when I have to make sure I have a full day available to do the simplist tasks...just in case they turn out to be not so simple. :lol:
Can't wait to see the pics.....:lmao:

Don't worry about it. I'm a little cynical, but just like the "how much did you pay for..." threads, I tend to believe that most people underestimate the time it takes them to do many mods or maintenance. It takes me longer, too, but that's because I have to triple check everything - I don't trust that guy's work. ;D

I replaced my gear shift arm. Two weeks ago I put on a near rear, new chain and sprockets, and a speedoDRD, and haven't been able to do a test ride since. I was waiting for the new gear shift arm to come in, and then went on vacation... I hated putting on a bunch of stuff and not being able to test ride it after installation.
I went down one tooth in the rear. I couldn't tell a difference. Hopefully I can tell a difference at the pump though. Even a mile or two per gallon would be great, especially if I can't tell any difference in acceleration.
I don't know why I waited as long as I did to fix the speedometer. The speedoDRD is probably the best $65 I've spent on my bike. It's nice to look down and not have to do quick math to figure out my real speed. Figuring out a 10% difference isn't difficult, but it gets old. I had to remember not to figure in the error when looking at the speedometer this morning!

I'm a grower not a show'er... I need my bikini! The tail I can live with, reminds me of the paint schemes on the crf250r's and 450r's with the white rear by itself (but black in this case)

Been awhile since I did anything to it but today, after working with the gas tank lid for about 30 minutes to get it open bc it had corroded, got that off, cleaned out the tank, changed the oil, put in a new battery and washed it!! Also installed the wheel chocks on the trailer to bring the bikes to the MotoGP next week!!!
