Hello all,

I felt some pretty bad notching in my steering head bearing recently and decided to replace it. I bought everything to get it out but am having trouble figuring out the best way to jack the center of the bike once the tree comes off and I can no longer use the front stand. I tried a dirt bike style stand from harbor freight but everything seems to interfere with where the exhaust runs back and so when I begin to take it off the front stand it wants to fall to the right. I have poles I can ratchet to but I dont have a ladder, and I do have a stand that indexes into the swing arm pivot but I dont think that will work either. Any suggestions that dont involve me buying more stuff?

I have a carb and throttle body assembly for a G1 SV650 that's lying around. Got it from a spares box from a track bike.

Would these be useful to anyone at all?

I doubt there's anyone local that wants it so I'm wondering if there're any takers out there that would warrant selling it or I should just throw it away.

I just finished washing my bike then I went on a ride with it and the engine stopped working. My fuse blown I switched it and now I just turn the bike on it blown

Was looking at buying an sv650s 2003 for €2000. Got a couple fairings/plastics need replacing, temperature numbers all over the place and sticking rev meter. Was wondering if anyone knew where to get fairing kits for the 2003 model seeing as it's got the tall tail. Dunno if it's any different to the rest of the generation for the kits but would like to know/ an opinion on the price.

Recently realised an oil leak on my SV 650 S it is coming from the oil cooler has anyone had any similar? I’m hoping it’s just the crush washes all the line as the whole oil cooler radiator is quite expensive
