There's a farmers coop on the way into town that sells ethanol free gas, I always gas up there. Same price as E10 even. http://pure-gas.org/

Sagebrush posted:I sometimes wish I could get premium gas that supposedly has no ethanol, but I swear the engine runs worse on premium for some reason. It just feels less snappy and acts more cold-blooded. 87 octane is where my bike is happiest. That sounds about right, higher octane gas is more detonation resistant, so is less efficient for an engine that is specced for 87, which most non ss bikes are. But why are you looking premium ethanol free in the first place? Place I go to only has 87 non ethanol anyway, and like you said 87 is best.

IIRC the SV650 in general has issues with that particular spark plug location and moisture, so I'd look into that.

That's the brake you use when you don't need to layer dan.

Alceste posted:Did the R6 throttle tube mod on my 2000 SV650N. I had to loosen the big adjusters at the carb rack to get enough slack on the cables to get the drat thing on, so it wasn't a quick 10 minute job, and I had to loosen all four adjusters all the way just to get to the factory spec for cable tension. Gen 1 or 2? I've been wanting to do it to my Ninja 500, impossible to get near anywhere near WOT without regripping or creeping. I went ahead and ordered both, and did the zip tie method while waiting for them to arrive to see how much a difference it made. Stock is 33.5 mm, zip tie was 1.1 mm thick, so 2.2 added total for an end result of 35.4. Gen 1 R6 is 1/5 turn throttle with diameter of 36.9, gen 2 is 1/6 turn with a diameter of 40.8. Zip tie didn't really make an appreciable difference so I think I'm just going to stick the 1/6 turn on there, though it will probably require dremeling some of the throttle housing out. I wish someone made a progressive cam, I tapered the zip tie so it was pretty much the same at the beginning and only really made a difference once you got on it. It's only a 500 though, not like it's going to rip the bars out of my hands.

Put some extra heavy bar end weights on and Pro Grip 719 gel grips. I like the grips, even discounting how much better they feel in general, they are stickier so less gripping needed. Bar end weights helped a lot too, Ninja 500 is buzzy as gently caress.

I drink whiskey (bourbon or scotch) these days, my debilitating alcoholism almost feels classy.

Budweiser? I don't know a single person who drinks that honestly, besides the guys who just pick up a 6 pack of whatever from the gas station, either cause they're broke, don't care, or don't know any better.

Added a mount for my phone for GPS, ram had a pretty cool thing that replaces a bolt on the handlebar bracket with one a bit longer that accommodates the ball. Also swingarm spools.

Alternatively, do you only bleed them once because it's a pain in the rear end?

I always feel bad when clutchpuck posts, it's like some twisted version of stockholm syndrome.
