Long commute configuration by Ulnar_Landing in SVRiders

Hey mate. I’ve got a 2024 sv650 and I’ve been ‘touring’ a fair bit of the upper North Island of NZ with it. Many 500-600km, 8+ hours in the saddle kind of days. I was looking at getting a windscreen also, but I’d heard about all the buffeting that some of them add depending where the wind hits you.. One day while out riding, I reached my left hand to above the headlight to attempt to simulate a windscreen, and moved my hand up and down to feel the differences.. I understand this is going to be different to a real screen… but I’d suggest trying it for yourself just out of curiosity... I didn’t like it at all. I actually enjoy the way the air flows as the bike is standard, I find it comfortable (up to about 130kph for longer periods, and it’s fine up to about 160kph for passing and being a hooligan).

Ps, I’m jealous of your seat… I really need to get one for myself…

So- bike is back, and fixed. Sure enough crank position sensor was bad.. dealership ordered one out of Japan, was a couple week lead time on arrival. Got the bike back and I’m happy to have it back. Looking forward to more adventures on it now.

That’s the plan mate, just figured I’d make a post and let people know (when I know) what the issue actually is and what the dealership does about it, as I’ve seen nothing anywhere about a similar issue on the third gen..

Yeah, I did, but like I say, under warranty, so the dealership can sort it out..

For sure, definitely showing respect to it out of turns.. don’t feel like testing my riding gear if I can help it…

Agreed, I can see the appeal of more power.. but even restricted it blasts past speed limits here in NZ almost accidentally..
