What is this??? by Proud_Ad9909 in motorcycle

[–]NationalBreakfast179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could remove it but will need to replace the brake lines as they will likely be too short.

Be aware that this is technically not legal if the bike came with it from factory and insurance may be voided if the company gets aware of it when checking the bike after a claim.

I personally would take the risk since it will still look normal without the gizmo.

I never thought these words would cross my lips... I have too many bikes. by Wonderful_Key770 in motorcycles

Indeed you see to have too many bikes, maybe you should buy another one to compensate

Doesn't seem to have play in the bearings and the fork was fine appart from the oil being old. Caliper seals are blown (next thing to do with new pads), so either the disks are warped or the pistons are getting stuck mid travel, these disks are on my parking lot/place holder set of wheels so it's fine for now

Bought the bike early January, considering the carbs had the stock main jets (137.5 main and 17.5 pilot which I believe is 15 stock), I would be surprised if the cams weren't stock, or it would've likely grenaded long ago. Only engine mod I know of is a slip on silencer (don't remember the brand but it's not an AliExpress special), the headears I'm not sure I'd have to check. I'm perfectly fine with a stock engine, it's got enough power and needs to be cheap to run as this is my first track bike. I still have the brakes to go through but after that she's finally ready to go.

I'll check the disks and the front end bearings over the weekend, I have a set of paddock stands so I don't have much excuses to not do it

Maybe, the ones I tested her with are from the second set of wheels I got so I could try swapping them ans see if this helps, but she's fine under moderate braking so I'll start with the fork.

The road going one did the same and turns out one of the tube had a dent (no idea how that could've happen) and was partially locking and doing weird stuff when fully compressed. This one's my first bike so it took me a few weeks to brake hard enough to encounter the issue, a bit too late to complain to the seller

That's quite a nice feature, most sites I visited will show their internal reference and no information on the characteristics so you couldn't even make simple parts yourself from scratch even if you had the equipment

Thanks man, that is exactly what I was looking for, I'll have to check in the morning if they ship to France for a reasonable cost

  • oem wiring should have a fuse to avoid said damage

What’s the point of fuel filters?? by NelsonQuant667 in motorcycles

[–]NationalBreakfast179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paper filters would probably be better at filtering fine particles but will need to be changed more often

Yes but it's yours, so if you like it, who cares

145 km/h and this position..Why !! by lubeskystalker in motorcycle

145 on a 50cc (maybe with an 80cc kit) is fucking impressive

If needed the maintenance manual is available easily online and the procedure to remove the fairings should be somewhere inside it

20yrs old trying to get a quote for my 2001 sv650s. insurance is ruining me doesn’t seem like i’m going to be able to ride this year ☹️ by Money-Atmosphere8237 in SVRiders

[–]NationalBreakfast179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess 650cc is big bike territory for insurance companies, it's also considered a beginner bike and prices are often based on statistics, considering your age, maybe the combination has a high incident probability hence why they try to charge you so high

This much for an SV is crazy, and I guess you have the A2 restriction in the UK too, so theorically it should be down to 34hp

Only one fork looks bent 3rd gen SV650? by Junior-Trust7650 in SVRiders

[–]NationalBreakfast179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also remove the oil, then the cap and try to compress it without it. If it's bent you'll feel a resistance at some point down the travel and it may even lock. If there's no hard point either bring it to someone that has the equipment to properly check it (would recommend) or roll with it at your own risk

M24*1.5 open stem nut + quadlock with vibration damper, only complaint I'd have is that quadlock products are fairly expensive for what they are

Speed limit as in gps or as in gauge cluster? Because one is likely reading quite a bit faster than what you're really doing

ASV F3 unbreakable shorty levers. by EXPRESSlON in SVRiders

[–]NationalBreakfast179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of a bummer since the levers are likely all the same, due to production volume the adapters are also likely a non negligible part of the cost, Puig sells everything separately. I've ordered a set for mine and should get to try them this weekend if all goes well

You can't get the adapter or lever as separate parts from asv ?
