MessageHi,
Just visited this site for the first time, as I am considering upsizing from my SV650 to the 1 litre model.
I was hoping to read about changes in models over the years - but the "About" section seems to be missing.
I am an ICT consultant, and run my own web-server. I would be happy to host this site on my server for free - if hosting renewal is due (save some pennies). My server has MySQL, PHP 4 & 5, ASP.NET (via MONO), etc.
I would also be willing to do some work on updating and / or improving the site ( FOC of course ).
Anyhow, what I was wanting to try and find out is if the 2008 ( 08 reg. ) SV1000 I am thinking of looking at with a view to buying, is likely to have a catalytic converter fitted - as this is the case for my 2008 ( 58 reg. ) SV650 which makes it tricky / expensive to fit a replacement full exhaust system :-(

MessageMy 2005 SV1000S was put in service 1-4-06. I get about 14K on tires, wheel bearings are good for one tire. I put new skins on last night at 56,693 and the bearings are shot, again. This set is World Wide Bearings, double sealed as opposed to single sealed Suzuki. Suzuki instructs to install bearings with seals facing each other in hub, that is nuts, there are no penetrations in the hub. What is happening is the soft aluminum spacers are getting torn up by road grit at the seal/spacer junction and water ingress into the bearings eats them up. Actually no axle problems, other than nasty, but I can polish and re-grease so far. What's nuts is that the bearings are the exact same number/setup as GSX-R 600,750 & 1000 and the dealer says no problem going 60K on the bearings. No one else here in Seattle area is having this bearing problem, but no one else is riding an SV. I think only two were sold in the USA and the other crashed his. I've never seen another one.

MessageI bought one today and love it. It has this FI fault indication which I will sort out from information found on your site. I found the steering very responsive to sideways movement to assist with turning whilst leaning.

MessageHey, im just a newcomer to this site but Dave, surely someone that was devoted enough to a beautiful machine (that is the sv1000) could not just go and jump the Honda Veefwar fence?
No?

(that said the VFR's are indeed a decent ride)

Maybe u could rename this website classybuttuffrides.com

hehe
