You can TRY soaking it with WD-40.

Hold nut going to slave with one wrench and turn the nut on the hose going to the lever! The nut SHOULD turn towards you or down to the left. Chris

Since I was a smart ass a few years ago, I thought I'd add what I have actually owned. KZ440 belt drive (first bike) Mid nineties Night Hawk 750 (sold for money to work on house and I hated it) 1984 CB700SC (Not bad, but had too many issues) 2003 SV1000S (Bought it new, LOVE IT AND STILL...

Black chromed or PC'd trim rings are an option?

IMO, the larger lights look goofy! Like putting a barge light on a ski boat! :biglaugh:

What are the benefits of doing this Sean? Light output, or just looks? A HID option would be nice. It should be doable for about 100 more or less.

Awesome! I had a 1984 Super Chicken... Not a bad bike, but parts are a bizatch to find and I am over the old bike thing. I spend more on them then they're worth, but that's MY issue. I like things just right. lol I have a whole 700CC engine minus the bottom half. Basically I bought an...

Sweet! 500 is MUCH better than nothing... That's for sure. At least the parts are paid for. Dirt bag! Chris

A LOT!!!!! 200 bucks EASY if clean and dent free...

That's me... Magic!:eusa_dance: Except they were two different THREADS...

HOLY ****!!! You have enough oil in the bike that it's a half an inch below the fill hole? That's where I put it when I store the bike... My guess is you're covering (fowling) the plugs with oil and it's not allowing it to start. Dump the ALL THE OIL OUT including filter and put the...

That does seem AWFUL light... It HAS to be stupid fast...

Re: Award Request for Rusty McNeil! You're a dork! lol :biglaugh:

An old boy like that, they should let go free!

Re: Award Request for Rusty McNeil! I got this... I got the PM, but I have a life too! lol Someone voted no... Hmm... Who'd you piss off (or on) Rusty? lol Chris

I heard that the radiator is so big that it works as a spoiler and causes the front wheel to go light at 155mph which happened to his brother and he crashed... All that at a stop light... I just nodded my head shut my tinted visor and rolled my eyes. Chris

It's a twin... That's what I love about it... The twin sound and feel... Open the intake and exhaust and listen to it breathe! My SV redlines at 11,000 and I have no clanking or jerking. Just Vtwin grunt from bottom to top. I believe there's a fix for the VStrom clutch rattle. The tune...

Have you set the TPS on it yet Matt? If not, you need to. It'll make a HUGE difference if it's out. http://www.sv-portal.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9111&highlight=throttle+position+sensor Glad you like it. I still prefer the power of my SV over my max. I like the instant on and low end...

My bike came with the striped wheels... They're painted on from the factory. They sit in the basement now collecting dust... lol Chris
