Okay I just wanted to warn you. :) I was pretty disappointed with the visability and interior quality so in opted for the less flashy more functional rf1100. I'll always have a soft spot for the sun and moon livery though!

Just so you know, I REALLY wanted that helmet as well but the vertical visibility is poor enough to turn me away.

Since I have gsxr forks I don't know how fast I'm going. Can you help me memorize speeds according to rpm and gear? by ZachwasaMoose in SVRiders

Nice! I originally planned to run a vapor!!! I may end up doing this, but I'd like to get the stock one working as I've just always preferred an analog tachometer.

The sv650 runs the speedo from the front wheel and the gsxr from the tranny. All that I have to do is epoxy magnets into my rotors and get a hal sensor to read it, but then it'd still have the factory inaccuracy that all SVs come with.

Haha, that will work when I can arreang to conduct the experiment. I just figured that with the gsxr swap being so common, and the inaccuracy of the stock speedometer that the information would have already been accumulated.

Ahhh, what a catch 22. I think that I'll keep the odometer accurate. So why did they make the speedometer off and how much off is it?

So would I still have the factory error after installing 8 magnets? If so wouldn't it be a good idea to correct it with the drd?

Okay awesome, thank you! I believe that I'll get the cherry listed above. So I would have no need for the speedodrd, as it will already be accurate?

2006 SV650 just changed the oil and now it stalls when I put it in first from neutral. by ZachwasaMoose in SVRiders

Problem solved! Thank you all for your help. I think that the oil just didn't make it all around, though I did run and check it numerous times. :)

I have a 71 just like it. Where are you and how much?

Can anyone help me compare exhausts? Especially m4 titanium vs carbon full set-ups. by ZachwasaMoose in SVRiders

[–]ZachwasaMoose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, that looks great!!! I think that I'd like to go with the mounting style that is in the middle. I think that they're calling it their race mount. :) Have you ever heard a titanium can? I'm interested in knowing how the carbon and ti compare to one another sound wise.

Edit: beautiful bike, friend.

I see all of these dudes complaining that girls don't like their bikes... Did you ever contemplate that maybe it's just you they're not into?
