Checking into the SV club. I got my silver 03 650S back in 04, slightly used, on the recommendation of my nephew: Threw a Gixxer shock on the back end, put a Scorpion slipon on, lowered the front a tiny bit, pulled all the padding out of the seat and replaced it all with a mousepad, rode it from LA to Effingham, IL and back in March 05, which as it turns out, involved quite a bit of snow during the portions that involved either Utah or Colorado:  and now I mostly ride my DR650 because the roads here in LA suck balls, but I've managed to put 50k miles on the SV so far, and she's never seen a mechanic, had her valves looked at, or ever failed to start and run perfectly, despite a couple of slight mishaps and a less than stellar dedication to maintenance. About as reliable as gravity, so far, although she does get jealous when I ride my scooter.

Is blown fork seals a common things for the SV? I don't think any of my other bikes have ever had seal issues. I really don't feel like disassembling my stupid front end to fix this.
