As of Friday, my SV has over 9000 miles on the clock. I rode right through the 7500mi checkups, and am now well on my way to the 11,000 mile scheduled maintenence. Seeing as I really don’t have a whole hell of a lot else to do, I’m going to start on things today. I’m going to go ahead and get busy adjusting everything that can be adjusted, and checking the torque on everything that can be torqued today. Sometime today or tomorrow, I need to get to a hardware store so I can make a gauge to sync my throttle bodies.

The biggest item that needs serious attention right now is my chain. I’ve ordered a chain breaker/rivet tool and a chain and sprocket set from www.sprocketcenter.com so hopefully that shows up mid-week and I can be on two wheels again by next weekend. In addition to the chain, I’m going to hit the basics of a tune up. Change my air filter, spark plugs, and all that jazz. When this is all said and done, I’ll restart the whole saving project so I can get some suspension work done, and do a little brake improvement as well.
