Do you know how to wire in a relay?

4 connectors:

battery live
battery ground
switched live
USB port live

then the ground for the device which can go to the battery ground.

The hardest bit is tapping into a switched live, tail light/headlight wire is the easiest for this.

Fully faired curvy is nice, but when it comes to pointy I prefer Naked with bellypan.

I really disslike the SV S's which aren't fully faired... :o

Oh IC3, your lucky she isn't outside my window today - she would be upset :p
I got a new parking space for her, literally right outside of my window, at the front of the office - I like to think she is the face of the business.

I have a belly pan, and hugger, but want to paint them blue to really set it off. I'm not too fussed about the full fairings, but if I find some I buy them ;)

Sooo many opinions on this :p :o

My next bike will either be a Ducati or a Yamaha ;)

That's what I have :) I'm not sure I like the full fairing, makes the SV look a bit like a v.normal bland sportsbike. What I think looks really nice is the pillion cowl and the removal of the handle, although that is practical for moving the bike so I tend to leave it...

I'm actually tempted to remove the bellypan, I think the fact it doesn't even cover the oil sump just bugs me... Shouldn't be called a belly pan! Tbh these days I prefer the naked look.

I guess it stops stones hitting the whole underside of the engine and headers though - any protection is good protection in my eyes :)

Just had a guy contact me about a undertray for my bike on sv650.org, I believe it is in black, it is dependant on if he can get a stock undertray though.
 
Seeing as I'll be CBT only for the next few months, I'm probably going to get a PCX for commuting and a Cagiva Mito for fun. I have some weird passion for screaming two strokes and let's be honest, they don't get much prettier than this:

I had an RS50 for a few years, tuned the hell out of it, it hit 23bhp at one point and screamed like mad. I had an NSR125 for a month or so which gave me the taste for a 125 and from then on I wanted either an RS125 or Mito 125. Sadly neither happened due to immigrating and whatnot but now I'm 32 and my wife says I have to "ease her in to the prospect of motorcycles" hence my current situation. At least like this I get to enjoy my youth again before moving on to the bigger stuff :p

Haha, I'm rough with mine. But she enjoys it as I take care of her. 'Ride hard or go home' kind of thing. :p

Rode the tuono into work this morning.

Felt like a caged lion, just waiting to be set free. It really does not like trundling behind traffic at 40mph, temperature getting to nearly 100 degrees when filtering.

The '16 Factory is the same, kiss your mpg goodbye too. I get around 29 mpg commuting.
