I have a lot planned for the SV over the shot winter break. I made a list as shown below, and some are already complete, some are in progress, and others will be just nice-to-haves for the time being. Here's a breakdown with completed items struckthrough
Quick turn throttle tube- Complete- 520 chain and sprockets - in progress. Rear sprocket installed
- 4 piston front brake calipers – Calipers and brackets in hand
- Aftermarket ECU (Powercommnder III or Bazzaz FI/Quickshift)
Oil change, check spark plugs, check fluids- Captured wheel spacers –
rear in progress, front parts in hand to do with brake upgrades. replace rear spool bolt- Complete- Lap timer – XT Ultra Lap
- Replace front brake reservoir hose (schedule with new calipers) - parts in hand
Spring clip for rear axle nut- Complete- safety wire & pliers - not needed for track days but will be required when I/we race the SV
- Upgrade brake pads and rotors - need to order pads. Will forego rotors for now
- Woodcraft clip-ons - future planning
- Check lower triple/steering-stem for straightness
- Lightweight upper faring stay
- Lightweight sub frame - future planning
- Extra levers, pegs, gas tank, etc.
- Sculpt/lower/firm seat pad
- Spare Dzus fasteners
- Tire warmers
Possibly more to come later as I make progress. Some track days start up in February but work and personal schedule (and cold weather) will prevent me from going until March. Plus I don't run tire warmers yet so it's pretty hard to warm up the tires when the air and track are cold.
