I know, it's such a meathead thing to do. Take pictures of your vehicle and show them off on the internets. Still, I love doing it. Here is my 2002 SV650 which I bought with the insurance payment from my 2004 GS500 which got totalled a couple months ago. The sputter has cleared out a lot since I replaced the air filter and have been running Chevron Techron and fuel detergent in it. Just put on T-Rex frame sliders. Drilled about three holes in the exhaust baffle so it's a little louder. Rear wheel is plugged, needs a new one soon, one of the previous owners took off the chainguard and put on a cool cut-metal "SV*" guard on the swingarm instead.

to do next: oil change, carb sync, valve check  :dunno_white:

had about 10400 mi, already put on another 1000. Paid $2950.

So is this like the latest tv shows / movies ? You know, the lights are off for no particular reason, and the only light source is a flashlight ? Gotta make sure the camera shakes too, for dramatic effect, and you must have perfect hair and skin ;)


OK I'm kidding, get us some pics of your new curvy (not a pointy! woohoo!) sv in the light already ! Those bikes ROCK and I'm sure you'll enjoy it's service. Congrats on a fun new ride. :)

You gotta cut off that huge shovel in the back, oh wait, they probably make kits for the sv...

After that it'll be looking great.
