RJ you know you cant ride that thing like a 600... the SV is like the miata of the car world... momentium is your friend.

if you want more power... sell the bike and pick something up with 4 inline cylinders Wink

Headed to VIR at the end of the month, see how she does on the 'big' track with the new carb setup. The 600's and 1000's are going to have 30+ mph on me down the front straight Sad

Gotta win that trackday :thumbup:

I dunno, I feel like my car goes faster down the straight if I feel the floorboard flexing as I push against it :lol: .

Looks like it did back on page 1 again, except the swingarm is off too. I'm getting good at this. I <3 air tools.

I'm having Phil fix a stripped motor mount bolt hole, and replacing all the chassis bearings. I've got a bit of a list but I'll put it back together and then take it up to a shop in MD to have the suspension bits serviced and set up a little better for me and mount up some new bodywork. I should have done this last summer, oh well.

Pics to come....

good thing you bought it 'already built' Wink

.RJ · 02-26-2009, 09:53 PM

Yeah, I inherited a lot of issues but I picked it up on a thursday and took it straight to the track so I cant complain. Its been good, I'd buy another built one instead of building my own.
