Ok, so there have been tons of threads about traffic filtering over the years and answers ranging from "Major fine and points for stunting" to "Cops just ignore you". I am guessing that a lot of the variation comes from how and where people filter. If you're burning by the shoulder of a 400...

I did a long trip last year including some days with 12+hrs in the saddle, and want to do more trips, but the stock seat on an SV650s is honestly a pain in the rear. There's really no way to sugarcoat it, that seat is singlehandedly the WORST part of the entire bike IMHO. I've been doing my...

I did a trip from Toronto down to Key West Florida last summer (with the mandatory pass by Deal's Gap of course), and wanted rubber that would both last the trip and cover me if we hit the torrential rain they sometimes get in Florida, so I fitted some Michelin PR3s to my SV650s. Pete's had em...

I just came back from a 9,000km Road trip to Key West/Dragon/BRP/Washington DC and my gear was in bad shape. Weeks of bug juice, sweat, rain and stupidly hot sun had really taken a toll on my already well-used leather jacket and gloves. Not only did they look really worn, they smelled so bad...

I ride an SV650 and my girlfriend wants to try driving a bike but she's quite light and I'm worried that just dropping her on mine will end up with both her and the bike injured. She's kinda on the fence about wanting to get into riding and doesn't want to drop the full $450 for a course just...

I bought a 2005 SV650s at the start of the season and it was running fine with about 250km on a tank until the indicator came on (~15L used). Now I'm only getting 160-170km before it's been coming on. This bike should be getting around 250-300km on a tank. It came with a Power Commander III...

Just moved up from a 250 to a 650 this season (2nd yr of riding) and am happy to say that I just dragged knee for the first time on Wednesday. Yes, it was in a parking lot (I know, I know, not the same thing). But still, a really cool feeling that first time you feel the contact. Kinda takes...

Thanks TekNinja81, you're probably right about having to get the OMVIC involved. Will probably do a BBB review of em too. I don't know whether there is much chance of getting compensated for any of this, but I definitely do not want these guys screwing over any fellow riders. Just in case...

I bought a used SV650 from Andrew bell at Canway Motorsports in March 2012 and recommend anyone else stay away from them. This was my first real bike buy, so I put a lot of faith in Andrew that the bike was in good order. Especially after he told me that by buying through a dealer i was...

I have an SV650s and want to ride as much as possible to get my endurance up for my 7,000km ride to Key West, FL in late June. Planning to hit skyline, blue ridge, dragon, Miami, New York, Washington, and all the other good East coast stuff over 16 days. If you've got a Sena SMH-10, even...

I am looking for a lower fairing for an SV650S 2nd gen (2004 or later), preferably blue. If it's slightly damaged, I can work with that. P.M. me Alternatively if anyone knows where to buy em cheap, please do post a reply so that everyone can benefit. Thx
