I'm not sure if you can do it via the new keeper section...[/quote]

Yes you can, I did, you just have to enter reg doc number printed on the slip from the V5 which the old keeper gives...

Nope. I found out yesterday that the Post Office no longer does the form to declare SORN. Apparently the DVLA only do it over the phone or via the internet now.

I'm not sure if you can do it via...

You do realize that reply is of no help what so ever.

Give me price range in numbers.

How much is cheap?

He's built some interesting bikes, however...

I was following his latest build on another forum; the Turbo Blade Boxer. He posted details on the type of metal that he was using for the frame as he...

Haynes won't do one yet, the model is far to new. As for the owners manual, I presume you mean the booklet they gave you with the bike that has no useful information in it? What you need is the Honda...

Its been a while since I needed to check a part but I wouldn't exactly say 90%. The 650 and Thou have different frames, engines, looms, CDI, exhaust, and a few other bits which are not...

So long as you have taken the cover off, removed the old gasket, cleaned it up and not over tightened the bolts when you put it back together then it should last. Like I say the plastic cover is an...

If its on the right then it is most likely the clutch cover. The engine case cover of the right of the bike is made up of the main metal piece, a plastic clutch cover, and the metal water pump cover....

Going to need a little more information...

Its slightly more traditional to have a leak on the right (if its the model in your avatar) as the plastic clutch cover can warp against the main right...

Can anyone recommend a local bike painter please?

Nothing fancy needed, no air brushed half naked ladies riding a Unicorn playing cards on the petrol tank, just simple original colors...

The S (faired) and N (unfaired) model frames are identical, and have identical geometry.

With the exception of slightly different gearing (final drive) giving the S a slightly higher topend the...

The SV650 is a very good bike for what you want.

Apart from the usual things to look for as its a 2001 model budget for a new reg/ rec and a battery. Its the weak point of the bike and on a 1st...

If you've bought the bits like that then I understand your logic, but I'd bet a spare 1st gen engine is still a lot easier (and cheaper) to do. Not seen your post over there, but that is the best...

Forgot about that, this is starting to sound more like a reframe than a engine swap. Some parts might be interchangeable, others won't be, a lot I think will depend on the connectors. For example the...

Off the top of my head I can't think what lugs they are, but I'm sure there wouldn't be a problem sticking a Pointy in a Curvy.



There has been anecdotal reports of Curvys using more oil than...

So if I have understood correctly, you are retro fitting FI onto a 1st gen SV650? Why?

Oh and you do realize that 1st and 2nd gen SV650 engines are basically identical?

There are minor...

I will give you £200 for it.

I have an old bike that needs a respray. I intend to put it back to standard and as such need to get the stickers for it. And here in lies the problem...

Yamaha require something in the region of...

I disagree. I have never had problems getting spares and service parts for my CBR400. Mine is also a NC23 and a grey import. Fairings, yes may be an issue, but the last time I checked getting new...

Or alternatively use the correct security bit to undo them? Makes things much simpler.

Though I don't know what bolts they use so can't advise on the exact tool required. And as a little word of...

People do buy things like this and do make a bit of pocket money from it. The only thing I can advise it to look on the net for a creative type website that lets you sale via them, they exist and are...

Two things:

A: You are NEVER getting my bike again
B: I like your avatar

More than happy to help.

Like Stretchie I'm a hommechanicic. Been working on my bikes for some 12+ years and riding/ crashing/ repairing SV650's for about 8 of them.

Let me know if/ when/...

Bring it up to me. I'll give you the SV and get Bike Treads to do the tyres with the wheels off the bike...
