New bike for Allun

[notme]

I gots me a new toy......

It's a bit of a change going from a CBR600RR to an SV1000s!

It's a shit day outside today, so I've been installing an alarm and battery monitor, giving it a good once over adjusting levers and things and finding out where everything is, and occasionally starting it up just to hear that 90 degree V twin through Yoshi pipes.

Roll on summer!

nice, you'll like it

get some stick on plastic protection on the lower faring asap
if it is a K3 get the rubber gromet for the clutch slave cylinder fitted also

looks good with the hugger

[notme]

What's the clutch slave cylinder grommet all about? Is it a service mod to fix/prevent a problem?

spank has another site for SV1000 check out http://www.sv-portal.com/

there is a heap of useful stuff and a bunch of the KBers are also on that site.

I also like http://www.suzukisv1000.com/ check out the FAQ section under the maintenance section there is a mod there called "K3 & early K4 clutch slave cylinder mod" http://www.suzukisv1000.com/faq/clutch3.htm

Congrats Allun. Used to own one of those and it did me well. I'm curious about the change from the 600 though. Willing to share your reasons? I got my first ride on a modern 600 this weekend and I was very impressed with the handling especially, but also the power. Can't match the sound or instant gratification of a 1000cc v-twin though.
