    Changing Fork Innards on an SV650

    Ahhhhh! Thanks Cliff!! Then they CAN use that tool. Rob? Want a fork driver? Trade for a 6-pack of Sam Adams Lite? ;)

    Getting handling under control for the bike

    My wife is simply the best.... She got me these on order for my FZ1. Penske 8983 double adjustable with remote reservoir And Racetech 1.0 kg springs to firm up the forks on the bike. The FZ1 will be firmly planted when I hit the roads this year. Michele is the best! :cheer...

    Changing Fork Innards on an SV650

    Actually I meant the fork tubes... 38mm? 41mm? 43mm? I have both a 41 and 43 mm fork seal driver and no need for the 41 any longer since she got rid of the FZ6R.

    Changing Fork Innards on an SV650

    What are other things she needs done on the SV? Let me know if I can help in any way even if it's lending specialty tools. Had I known she was doing the forks..... I have a few of those special tools now. What size are those in mm? Did you replace the seals too?

    Changing Fork Innards on an SV650

    Might be a good day if we can attract people. Not many n00bs that I'm aware of though and a couple of them moved away on us. Well, that's more grilled food for us. We're going to try and ride tomorrow and starting next week, every possible day. I put heated grips on both bikes using the...

    Changing Fork Innards on an SV650

    Sure! I have some other things to do as well. I bought marine-grade power sockets to mount on the inner panels. I now have "jumper cables" for both bikes. and two other fantastic mods that are shipped or shipping soon. ;) The tool selection has expanded here but so has the amount of...

    Changing Fork Innards on an SV650

    Well, we hope that the two of us can do some weekend riding with you. Can you PM me your GPS coordinates in your driveway? My Garmin melted down so I no longer have it. My Racetechs are on the way! :D

    Nelly, we're very sorry to learn of this loss for your family. Please accept our deepest condolences with Patrick's passing. May he forever rest in peace.

    Changing Fork Innards on an SV650

    Well done Keira! I'm doing this myself on the FZ1 soon. ;) We need to get some weekend rides in this year. :thumbup: You may want to set the forks back to stock settings and work from there. Lee at Traxxion Dynamics has been feeding out pointers and this was one of the first steps he's...

    New Life for Me

    Donny don't.... go into a relationship with any expectations other than what you want. Donny don't.... let any woman think they can mold you into something other than Donny. Donny don't.... stay with a woman who expects you to change to suit their needs and is unwilling to accept you for who...

    Should I change my screename?

    Another + for Mr. Potatohead! Please don't do Boiserider... No one named Kenny should ride a "Boise"! :rolleyes: :spank: :rockon:

    Is this repairable?

    Definitely a parts-only bike. Take it apart and sell the pieces for whatever they command on ebay. I'm guessing well over 1200 pounds for you to put into a new bike. Out of curiousity, what brand were those crash bobbins you had on? Did it catch something like a pothole or the curb? This...

    How old were you when you first rode pillion?

    I got on the back at 11 but I also got my Honda CT70 Trail shortly after and vowed to never ride "Nuts to Butt" again. ;)

    New Life for Me

    Donny, I'm sorry this all is happening to you. I know it is very hard to let go of someone you love but when life comes to this point, you have to move forward and leave that life behind. People do not change much in life.... promises are made, life gets that old familiar and comfortable...

    Do you open carry?

    NH - "Live Free or Die" We can show up and buy a weapon with money and take it home. NH doesn't require registration of guns/pistols. NH has an open-carry policy that only excludes court rooms and court houses. Federal law has extending rules about federal buildings and school zones. Open...

    Funny how things change...btw it's gone

    The ONLY complaint I have regarding the FZ1 is the tank size/MPG. As far as the seat... standard Yamaha stock seat... they all suck! ;) But, after owning the FZ6 as well, I'd give a nod to the FZ1 seat for better comfort but this is my opinion. The FZ1 does all that the FZ6 did and much...

    Funny how things change...btw it's gone

    You'll find something you'll want changed, no doubt... but to have one that is already sporting a lot of great mods takes a lot of the wallet pains away! :D Pics? I've not seen this bike in photos for a long time. ;)

    Funny how things change...btw it's gone

    Looks like that comment just bit Chevy in the arse! LOL! Congrats MR.P on getting a FINE ride from an upstanding guy. I have sold two FZ6 bikes and those folks became members here as well. Great place and you'll learn a lot. Like mine, as a buyer, at least you don't have to go through the...

    So, do you have a tattoo?

    I may have my inspiration to wear a tat til till the end of days.... my two grand daughters! :rockon: But now it is coming up with a design that suits both me and them. :confused: Now if my three kids start having MORE of their own, I could be in trouble..... :rolleyes:
