    Finally got the SV running again

    On the third motor now, I am NOT doing any internal work to this one. It has under 4K miles and not a scratch on it. I should have it all back together by this weekend. I put new throttle cables, clutch cable, cleaned the throttle bodies, changed out brake fluids. Just need to get the plastics on and I'll be ready to roll.

    Takem both to Barber.
    The joy of success is increased by the struggle along the way.

    did you flush the blinker fluid while you where at it? Probably needs changing, I bet it's the reason the last one blew up.

    They are tough, when you keep both wheels on the ground. There is an oil starvation issue on the first cylinder of the SV when doing wheelies and can cause engine failure.

    I think we should start a pool on how long this motor lasts.
