Dropped it >< Luckily very little damage: broken brake lever, bar-end mirror, and bent my right fork. Good excuse to order a new lever set from PainfullySlow, have oil change supplies waiting for the weekend, just need to find new mirrors and forks now. Maybe some new front signals too...

I'd say it was due for a change...

I also installed a TRE
 
well the other day but finally changed the rear tire.
 
Changed the oil. Rotella T6.

My 06 just turned over 47,000 miles and runs great. I had to replace the short hose between the TBs and the gas line, but that's all it's needed, besides routine maintenance.
 
Note to newbs: riding your bike isn't considered "doing something to your SV".

Do some mods or maintenance. That qualifies as something you DO to your SV.

Carry on, newbs.

I don't care. I have a build thread that I guess I could copy into here, or people could just go look at it to see what I've done to my sv over the past year. Today I rode it and that's that. If it has to be item related, I took it off of my brand new SVRP stands before the ride :p

For the past two days been hitting the maintenance and box of mods I have stored pretty hard.

1) Valve check- all in spec!!
2) Stainless clutch line install while the tanks off the bike-completed last night
3) Rear stainless brake line install - still working on it.
4) Chewy's PAIR delete- completed last night.
5) STV's removed!!!

Hopefully I will get her all buttoned back up and fluids back in tonight. If all goes well and I have enough brake fluid left over I will bleed the fronts as well.

And I agree with Rock Dodger, riding your bike doesn't constitute as "doing something." No need to be arrogant about it. You newbs will get to turn a wrench eventually ;-)
