Hey sv 650 owners,

I am fairly new to the riding scene and as such dropped my bike the other day. The usual problem, went to put my foot down, but failed to notice I was on a steep hill. Anyway, would you reccomend frame sliders for this bike? I managed to damage my handle bars, brake lever, and scrape a few other things, so I am wondering if frame sliders would help in the future.

I got a set of Carbon Fiber frame sliders for my SV. I wouldn't recommend the place I got them from though because I had to fight them through paypal to end up getting them...

but check out this site...

Thanks for the info. I am afraid the purchace might have to wait for a few weeks do to the unfortunate bill from the repair shop and the fact that I needed a new back tire do to two punctures from a staple gun. :evil: all at the same time.

Nah foget those and get Nate's motosliders made just for the SV. Everyone at SVriders.Com recommends them and after just changing out the sliders that came on my bike these slider will protect the tank as well as the radiator. They have been crash tested and mother approved. Accept nothing but the best for your SV!! Nate's Motoslider rock hard!!!

I was pondering the same thing :shock: . Could it have been accidently done while decorating it to use in the local homecoming parade?

Honestly, I have no idea how or when it happened. Although, if I were to guess, it would be a casuality of having to park my bike behind the restaurant I work at. This back area also happens to be where boxes are broken down. :x The two punture holes are from one staple. Who would have thought one damm staple could be so expensive. :shock:

Have a question? I'm a cruiser rider. Are frame sliders similar to engine guards or as some ppl call them crash bars? Do they protect the engine if the bike goes down?

 

[TL chris]

Frames sliders look like hockey pucks. Crash bars are more like "crash cages", stunters use them mostly to protect their plastics.

Ohhh :roll:
Sounds like you rolled onto a broken crate. I was thinking someone intentionally shot your tire with a staple gun!

Have you tried sliming your tire?

The dealer mentioned sliming the tire, but only after trying to put on a patch for the second time.

Nah foget those and get Nate's motosliders made just for the SV

I did look at the motosliders but they were out of stock.
