    Thanks for your comments. I have the cowl fitted again and will keep that on until the weather in the UK gets wet again. Then I will put the seat back on. Cowl is good apart from where the top part fits the base as that would let water in on a rainy day.

    @CraftyMrRyan Hi, thanks for your comments. I got most of the accessories from an online company called Evotech Performance and the bar end mirrors from eBay seller 'ncooksecurity' / MotorbikeAlarm. I think you may be right about the thread being non-standard. I had to clamp the mirrors on to the the original end weights instead.

    1300mls on my 8S, it's starting to run more freely and I am getting 67mpg during non motorway hooning about. But I don't think that there's much point in revving it out below 4th gear. It's a comfy and capable ride and is really growing on me.

    I have found with mine, the quick shifter is becoming smoother the more miles I am doing on it. I also noticed by pre loading the pedal just before moving it up or down seems to help. 67mph is a good figure. I think I am more around the 58ish range at the moment. No regrets so far with it at all.

I made the mistake of really winding on the throttle during upshifts (as suggested by others online). Now I know that it's really smooth from 3rd up at moderate revs and throttle openings. Still working on the downshifts!

    Worst mistake Suzuki has made, aside from not updating properly the bikes in years... 1- Heavy, cmon, you have MT07, you're telling me you could not shed 10-20 kilos? 2- Soft suspension poor suspension ( SV650 races better ). 3- Boring engine, same as every one else in the market ( they could have upgraded the V-Twin to 800cc ). 4- Clunky gearbox, pretty harsh Quickshifter. Overall soft suspension, soft brakes ( woody ) and pretty pretty bad quality feeling, i bet it will rust easly.

    1. The engines larger and the suspension is better than the MT-07, so that comparison is moot. 2. As for the track, I don’t disagree, but nobody else has as versatile a bike as the 650 either, so they still have that market cornered. 3. The bike being inline makes it more versatile to go into other platforms and cheaper to produce, it’s just value engineering.

    @@benlaseter7719 I meant the weight compared to the MT07. About suspension yea they are definitely better than MT07 but weak compared to similar priced bikes, and far to a notch above ( street triple R ), this without including weight to the game. Don't get me wrong i love Suzuki motorbikes but i feel like they're going off compared to the competition, stagnating. Here in my country they're not selling many of these, because people really do not like them, you still se plenty of SV650 and for a reason, it is an awesome bike and perfect formula that could have truck the market if properly refreshed. Suzuki isn't even among the TOP 10 most sold motorbikes in my country, and in that TOP 10 (let alone top 20) you find China and premium brands. I guess Suzuki preferred to shoot them in the foot.
