    The Secret SV-650/1000 Suzuki Owners Society

    I actually had a shop get all the rust out for me, but the water vent is rusted through so it leaks gas if you fill it with about 2 gallons or more. Were you guys able to patch that up in your tanks?

    The Secret SV-650/1000 Suzuki Owners Society

    Recently picked up a 2002 sv650, it sat for 6 yrs so I'm working to get it on the road again. Got the carbs cleaned, oil and spark plugs changed and it seems to run pretty good. Still have to change the fork oil/seals, tires, chain and sprockets, and somehow find a good used tank to replace the...

    Scale of the Universe

    That's cool. Wonder what our universe is in, if it does indeed have boundaries.

    Biker or Motorcyclist

    Labels are always a little too restrictive for me. Personally I don't care what category someone might put me in, I'm having more fun riding than those who don't :P Maybe I'm just a traveler with a great mode of transportation. I need more beer...

    Seen the dark at the end of the tunnel

    I had a similar sentiment a while back. Cutting out the number of commuting miles helped more than I thought it would. I used to pride myself on commuting on the motorcycle regardless of weather, but it wears you out fast, and then riding is more of a chore than enjoyment. Now I don't feel bad...

    High Idle

    I don't know if the throttle spring has been undone, it snaps back pretty good though. Upon closer observation, it is barely hitting the little lip of the chain holder thing from the audiovox when it hits the stop. Wiggling the idle adjust, letting the throttle snap shut, or turning the...

    High Idle

    Recently installed an Audiovox cruise and checked valve clearances (no adjustment). My idle has been sticking at about 1500rpm lately and I haven't been able to figure it out. It starts and idles fine at 1100rpm, then after having rpms up for a few seconds, it comes back to a 1500rpm idle. I...

    Audiovox surging at slow speeds

    I'm probably not going to use it at those speeds, just part of my test that had me wondering if I screwed something up. I made a Y connector for the coil connection under the panel on the right instead of tapping into the wire. I soldered it together and used heat shrink tubing on it so it...

    Audiovox surging at slow speeds

    So I finally got around to installing my cruise control (audiovox) and took it for a test ride. It worked ok at 60-70mph, dropping off by about 5mph initially, then back to where I set it and stayed. Then the slow speed test had a lot of surging, constantly bouncing around the set speed of...

    Valve Checks vs. Adjustment Required Poll

    Finally got around to checking mine with about 30k miles on it. I used the go/no-go method and all were within the range :yahoo: I was very glad I didn't have to change any out. On the last moto I had, I mis-timed the cams and bent valves, so needless to say I was nervous :dribble: I guess...
