The issue is getting a bike registered without a license. Not sure if I can do that with a permit or if I can take the skill test if it's not registered+insured.

I was able to buy, register, and insure a motorcycle in WA with just a permit.

Why is the service interval of the MT07 and XSR 700 4000 miles in the US but 6000 miles in the UK?

Distances are longer in metric countries, how do you not know this?

Nobody ever told me. Thanks though that explains it.

If it is just the regular seat you might find it on partzilla. I think I found your seat https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/suzuki/motorcycle/2020/sv650/seat-sv650-sv650a

Hard to tell from the picture but I think it’s number 7?

E; Damnit, too slow

I feel very stupid. I tried to check my oil levels on the cb650 but when I inserted and removed the dipstick it was like one side would have oil on it but the other side wouldn’t. I don’t mean like upper and lower like I would have expected, it was like one side had oil on but when I flipped it over the other side was dry. I did run the bike for a few minutes and let it cool for another few before checking. I also had it on a rear stand so it was level. These are both things the manual says to do. Is that a sign of something being wrong or am I the world’s dumbest man?

Also when I shut it off there was whitish smoke coming out of the tailpipe, like the amount that might come off the end of a cigarette. Is that normal on a new motorcycle? I don’t remember my previous motorcycle ever doing this.

Oh yea of course having it on a rear stand would tilt it a little bit even if it is just a couple inches. Manual just says to place vehicle upright on a firm level surface. What is the easiest way to get the bike level without a rear stand?

Glad to hear the smoke is just efi things.

It shouldn’t be that hard to get an oil filter off, right? I got an oil filter wrench but when I try and take this thing off it just slides down and off.

Its one of those ones you stick on a socket wrench and it cups the bottom of the oil filter. I went and bought one of those strap ones and that actually worked once it dug into the side of the filter hard enough. Next step after that was going be drilling it and using a screwdriver.
