Thrown away the Scottoiler, which came with my bike. I don't like the idea of increased pullution, caused by that <thin> oil flowing continuously and being thrown away by centrifugal force.
I just regularly spray the chain with my favorite chain spray (Motul factory line) and clean it with kerosene ...

Yes, this was an unforgettable trip! I especially liked serpentine roads of Chech Switzerland - kind of paradise for motorcyclists! :) And the panoramic landscapes near Pravcicka Gate are dazzling!
Wish we had more time to visit more places in this and surrounding regions.

P.S. Reggie! You $ick ba ...

I'm very thankful for sharing your valuable experience :thankssign:
I use a cheap Italian helmet right now (Jebs), but it is terribly loud at higher speeds, so I am in a process of hunting for a quiet comfortable helmet :wink:
My friend has a Nolan (N84), which he finds comfortable, but it is ...

A friend of mine had a similar problem with his SV650S - we changed the chain and sprockets, and aligned the rear wheel. Then after some riding we noticed, that bright polished spots on chain rollers were not in the center, so we adjusted the wheel. Happy end :lol:

It seems, that on chain driven ...

I use a bath brush and a garden hose to clean my bikes rad. Maybe, the brush is a bit "hard" on radiator, but until now nothing wrong did happen :)
I prefer to wash it with garden hose, and use brush as rarely as possible.

Recently I've bought a Suzuki SV650 with 50k miles, and this one seems to have had a "sexy time" with previous owners, but the engine still runs well. Only the noisy cam chain seems to be a problem...

So, I think, a cruiser engine should last even longer. Of course, when buying, you should put more ...

How to put stock muffler back on SV650

Hi guys (and gals) ! :)

Recently I've bought a 2000 SV650S, and it came with sport "Art" muffler, which sounds a little too offensive :twisted: (it was shortened and maybe "raped" in other ways, and is in trash condition anyway). I want to go back stock.
The previous owner gave me the stock ...

I would separate one category of cagers, that don't stop bugging me -
blue Subaru Impreza with "golden" rims :twisted:
They always try to race or sit on my a$$ too dangerously close :x

And yes, talking cellphones crowd is unpredictable!
