Motorbike Luggage and Extending Indicator Wiring
So I fit some new hard luggage to my SV650, but the indicator wiring was too short, and I didn't want a join where water could get in, so I re-wired the indicators.

Motorbike Chain Adjustment Gadgets

Motorbike Chain Adjustment

I teamed up with the guys from @RiderCamTV to do a video about chain adjustment. It was really good fun filming with them and I hope you enjoy. Chain adjustments can be intimidating to start with, but with a little practice, it really is very simple. Check your own bikes maintenance manual, as some require the bike to be on a centre stand and others on the side stand (the BMW dealer of Mark's b...
Motorbike Rear Wheel Removal SV650

How I took my rear wheel off the SV650 (curvy 2002 model). A similar procedure for many types of bikes, just watch out if you have ABS installed as you may have an extra sensor to worry about. This will form part of a series of videos as due to recent MOT failure, my rear shock needs replacing, as does the rear hugger. As always, I have included my mistakes for your amusement and hopefully so y...

Easy upgrade- SV650 Windscreen from Skidmarx

I often get asked about easy mods for motorbikes, well I think a windscreen with just 4 bolts is about as easy as it gets!! The team at Skidmarx gave me one of their windscreens to try and I have to say I was impressed. It fits really well, is made from tough material and looks fantastic!!! They do lots of parts for SV650 bikes, as well as lots of other models, including fairings, crash protect...
Fitting Venhill rear brake lines to my SV650

Understanding More About Motorbike Tyres

Stuck Pistons in Brake Caliper

So my piston was stuck on my motorbike brake calliper. I rode a short distance and due to the heat caused by the friction from the brake pads, it actually turned my brake disc blue!

I honestly thought I was on the verge of having to buy a new caliper, I had bought a tool to hel...
Easy Motorbike Fuel Cap Refresh

The old tank cap looked dated and worn and it is transformed that part of the bike. I am so pleased with the end results and it was so quick and easy to do. As always, thanks you for watching.

Chciałem motocykl zasilany gaźnikiem. Przejechałem już 2000 km i nie żałuję zakupu. Teraz studiuję jego instrukcje serwisowe - Pani kanał na youtube napewno będzie mi bardzo pomocny w mechanikowaniu tego motoru.

    Hi Tamsin, I have a 1999 sv650s with only 3000 miles, on mine the first time I did a service I noticed I got an inline fuel filter, looking at yours and there doesn't seem to be one, did they have one when the came off the production line. The reason I ask is this bike has been stood still for 10 plus years, and I've got popping on idle and overrun from thee exhaust, found thee exhaust had 3 holes so put a new full system on it, popping is getting worse, she doesn't idle properly, would you say the carbs needs balancing or would they benefit from a rebuild. Kind regards Martin

    Good to see you again. Glad to hear you’re doing okay. I’ve an issue I was hoping you could point me in the right direction of rectifying. I’m replacing my cracked fairing with one I’ve had painted and am now trying to reassemble the whole thing. Everything seemed to be going rather smoothly until I attempted to attach the bottom skirt which I’ve since found out is called the inner cowling cover according to the parts list. I think my main problem is I only have access to two hands as I can’t line up holes with holes and get the plastic on the outside that needs to be on the outside and keep the little tabs that hold it in place on the inside all at once. Couldn’t find any CZcams videos on the subject either. Thank you so much for everything.

I found an oem pair for my 2002 SV650s, and am excited to put them on the bike. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any information on how to install them! Would you be willing to share any resources you have about how to get these on to the bike>? Im at a total loss. Thanks in advance!!!

    I have stuttering, power loss, RPM doesn't go over 5k and even the bike stalls time to time. And there are times when everything comes back. I found some scotch tapes in the tank, don't ask how it got into it, but the tank was repainted by the previous owner. I removed the tank, cleaned it, checked inside with camera and everything looks nice, not even rusty. I checked the fuel filter, it works. I haven't touched the fuel pump yet. I also checked the airbox, removed it. I didn't dare to touch the carburetor, yet. 1. Anything else to check? 2. Can someone advise a link for a carb video? Thanks

Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this? Thank you very much for your amazing videos, I bought a sv650s 2002 last year and I am renovating it. Your videos have been very helpfull.
