    Question New track day tool...

    So I bought this first gen SV 650 from a friend of my Son. I had not seen then SV for some time, couple of years at least however, I was familiar with it in general. While on CA I received a note from him via fb stating he was looking for an SV 1000 and figured he would sell the little rig.... I bought it and shoud be home in a couple of weeks to see it.

    I had purchased another Hawk GT last year for use on the track but it is just too nice to use on the track so... New track tool in the SV.

    I well imagine that this engine respond well to carb updates like a Factory Stage I or II, K & N filter...? I probably will not mess with a pipe just yet but I'll keep it in mind after riding it on the track for the first time.

    Any other track specific ideas that would be good to do while I'm at it...? I will use good sticky tires, pull off all the crap that I do not need on it and all tht but, any performance mods that are value added...?

    Thanks,
    Rob

    Is the 650 already set up for the track or is it a street bike?

    Strickly a street ride at this time Pete... I am looking forward to stripping off all the el-junko that will not be needed so as to transform the SV into the TD ride. Should be lots of fun...

    Re: New track day tool...

    In that case, www.woodcraft-cfm.com has a lot of what you'll want.

    Rearsets
    Clipons
    Spools
    Front & rear stands if ya don't already have em
    Case covers
    Lever protectors
    Tire warmers (if you bother going that route... to be honest my tire warmers never leave my bin during a trackday)
