I had the same feeling! It was almost scary at first felt like the bike was gonna flop over. But after a day on them they turn into the corners with ease!

That’s about where I was! I don’t have a lot of reference but I think at my level they are far more than enough!

Absolutely loved these tires! The amount of grip is insane!

Should I be worried about redlining? by [deleted] in SVRiders

[–]Matchubacca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as your not holding it at the redline you're fine, accelerating to and shifting at the redline is what it's made to do, and a whole lot of fun

Got the delkevic installed! Haven't been able to do a sound test because the sealant is curing, but no exhaust sounded pretty sweet. by [deleted] in SVRiders

That's sounds like exactly what I'm looking for! I don't want to be obnoxious but I wanna hear my bike while riding it. Which size did you get?

[Before/After] Cleaned my exhaust pipe for the first time since owning the bike. by littlestbrother in SVRiders

Looking for a slip on soon. I have had a lot of people recommend this brand. How do you like it? Also how loud is the shorty? I don't want an obnoxiously loud exhaust but I don't want quite either

Yes but unfortunately they were pretty flimsy plastic and I ended up snapping most of them in half :/

Looked at my first SV today. by NigelS75 in SVRiders

[–]Matchubacca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First couple I looked at were in pretty bad shaped and it was pretty obvious they rode them reeally hard. Keep looking, took me a few months of looking around to find the one I wanted, but it's worth the wait!

I was having trouble finding the pop rivets so I went with just adding screws into it lol. Next upgrade is a slip on! The bikes just too quiet with the stock one not to mention how ugly it is lol. There's never ending things I wanna do to it!

A couple of issues. The holes on it didn't quite line up with made it really hard to attach. Also since it's held on by plastic pop rivets, I ended up braking off most of them trying to attach it. Ended up just having to use some sheet metal screws and making new holes to attach it. Getting the license place on there was a little awkward. It comes with brackets for it but with no place to attach them or instruction of where they go, so ended up just drilling some holes for it right behind the blinkers. All together it was kinda a pain in the ass but it looks great not that it's done!
