Captain Apollo posted:decided tonight I'm running on one cylinder! Then the other one kicks in and that's when I soil my pants. I've had the same thing happen to me one night while riding in the rain. I guess water leaks in the front spark plug hole and as a result the plug won't fire. You're definitely right about the surge in power once that second cylinder starts firing again. Mine cut out on me several times that night and every time it did, I was afraid of it kicking back in and breaking traction from the power surge.

If you decide you don't want that shock and it's for an 06-07, I might be willing to take it off your hands.

I'm in central Indiana and paying about $230/yr for full coverage with Progressive on an '03 naked. Z3n is right, you're getting reamed. e: Where are you located? That and your age are probably the two biggest factors.

Be prepared for strong engine braking. That's one of the things that caught me off guard the first time I rode my SV.

dietcokefiend posted:Yay 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms here and in Indy. Riding home in the pouring rain is going to be AWESOME Friday and Sunday it's supposed to be nice in Indy if you can pick it up either of those days. Saturday is supposed to rain like you said. e: Since I started riding, I've noticed that I pay much more attention to the weather than I ever have. So far it hasn't really affected what days I ride, just what I wear and pack.

Coredump posted:Should I upgrade the rear shock to match the gsxr front fork or can I preload it enough to match? I'm just going to be riding on the street and this is only the first year of me riding. It's a pretty controversial subject, but a lot of people at svrider like the 06-07 Kawi ZX14 rear shock for heavier riders. It's either the same length or 8mm longer than the stock shock and has the 90* resevoir, so it's pretty much a direct dropin. Swapping may actually raise the rear end since it won't compress nearly as much when you sit on it, making it a little more difficult to get your feet down. I'm curious about the first question also. If I used lowering links in the rear, would raising the forks in the triples bring the geometry closer to being correct? The only thing I would lose is ground clearance, right? Also, with the GSXR front end using shorter forks, lowering links for Coredump might not upset the geometry.

Z3n posted:At least in the US, you can usually pick up a front end for around 500-700$, complete and ready to go. I sold mine with almost everything on it for 450$. As someone who's gone both routes, is doing a GSX-R front end swap overkill for the street? Or are springs and possibly emulators all that's really needed? I've been on the fence about which way to go for a while. The swap gets me better adjustability, but springs are cheaper.

PitViper posted:Thanks, that's kind of what I figured. Mine is more of a commuter, so I think the GSXR fork swap is a bit overkill. I'll just be keeping an eye out for a gen2 SVS front end for a while then They pop up pretty frequently on svrider due to a lot of gsxr front end swaps.
