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)

I re-assembled the clutch pushrod mechanism and after removing all the debris from all the nooks and crannies and applying assembly lube (manual calls for Moly paste) to the push rod and push assembly, I can disengage the clutch with two fingers. The difference from before is amazing. If your clutch lever is hard to pull I'd highly recommend cleaning these parts.

-Clean and lubed the chain
-replaced spark plugs
-finally came to terms with the fact that I blew my motor and need to purchase a new one to swap in sooner rather than later

- Cleaned the frame and got rid of years of gunk and discoloration.
- installed all new bearings in the rear wheel and installed the new Superlight sprocket. Front is on loan to a friend at Barber this weekend, but will get new bearing when he gets it back to me. The new front sprocket and chain (DID VX series 520 conversion) will be installed once the bike is reassembled, but it is here waiting.
- started tearing down the front cylinder to see how bad the rust may be, but need a new 12mm socket to get the 12mm head bolts off. 10mm bolts came out without any problems, but the 12's are really tight.
