Hey guys!

Could you help me identify which fairings are these?

Not too long ago I bought an SV1000S and the previous owner gave me these side fairings and belly pan, but he didn't have the mounting brackets.

This winter I want to fit them to my bike and to paint them, but first I need to install them and drill out all of the holes.

If somebody has the same fairings, could you please send me some pictures of how, you mounted them?

Thank you!

Started my first riding season this past August and this bike has taught me a lot.
What a great choice to build confidence but I feel like I only had half a season lol
Looking forward to learning more next year!

Help: Mechanical Does it sound good?

Hi everyone,

​I have a 2018 Suzuki SV650 with 52k km on it. I'm not sure if the engine sounds right. My main concern is that the manual recommends checking the valves at 48k km. I currently don't have the budget for a mechanic, nor the knowledge to do it myself.

​Does this sound normal to you, or should I be worried?

I was cleaning my oil screen and found this little guy right under it, in the screen there were some bits of sharp steel and maybe aluminum. The piece itself is aluminum

The bike runs amazing, and I don't think I'm going to go looking for problems yet, but an idea of what I could be would be nice.

Thank you
