My guess would be- There are so many available. Parts are readily available They are highly recommended one squid to another Young, uneducated riders want a cool looking bike that goes fast.

What the hell was he thinking! Stoppie coming around a corner with out checking his back door:wtf: Then the jackass that runs him over takes off. That corner was filled with STUPID!!!

Always found this to be a good definition of a Squid- Squid (Squiddy) - Acronym, SQUirrely kID. 1. In reference to younger MC riders with little respect to posted speed limit laws, self safety or safety of others. 2. Inexperienced newcomer, someone trying to ride beyond his skill level with arms flailing (like a squid) to try not to fall. This may be just a Southern term. 3. Stupidly Quick, Underdressed, Imminently Dead. 4 Any Sportbike Rider - seems this term got twisted along the way and has many meanings. 5 Sportbike riders who wear tennis shoes or flip flops, shorts, T-shirts, etc. on their nice shiny new sport bikes. 6 Anyone that rides without all proper gear , rides recklessly, or rides beyond their limits. 7. Someone who rides a sportbike on the street as if he or she were on a racetrack. http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/dictionary/motorcycle-dictionary-index.htm

I'm listing to one of my boys play Gran Turismo Aspec and my Media player pumping our some Cyclone- Baby Bash

Democrats have always been big government! Let's just examine what the Democrats are about to unleash on the public. Not only is Barack Obama about to spend $350 billion on TARP but he wants another $825 billion in stimulus money. These projects include roads, education, food stamps, real estate, alternative energy. The government is going to oversee all of them. Now for the Bush crap you liberals keep running to! Why Bush couldn't get much done- Because Nancy Pelosi and her cronies vowed to stop anything Bush put before Congress and Senate! He had no chance once the House and Senate went majority Democrat. Just do a Google search on the vows of the Democrat's made during Bush's presidency. You will be reading for days on everything they vowed to stop. In their own words. The Partisan battle. Next topic- Why is it every time someone tries to voice their opinion about their concerns about the decisions and policies of the Obama Presidency someone has to start the whole Bush (Republican) Obama (Democrat) Argument? It's really funny how you have stated in the past how you shouldn't give blind support for any politician. And some Americans are looking into the finer points of the stimulus plan and getting flak for it. So some of us don't trust the government to handle this properly and are investigating for ourselves and coming to the conclusion it hasn't worked in the past and isn't going to work in the future. And the Next topic- Then your going to tell the OP her link is politicaly biased. And you link CBS? You just don't seem to understand ALL NEWS is in SOME WAY Politicaly BIASED!! If they aren't for your guy you don't want anything to do with it! Go figure! I'm done arguing this or any other political topic on this site. It will just go in circles! My fear is we will build up a false sense of security in the economic stimulus. Then it won't be able to sustain itself over any long period of time and we will be crashing again. Unsubscribed!!!!

You have a good point. But I would like anyone to recall any large scale construction project funded by state or local government that actually finished on time and in budget! The RAILROAD? The infrastructure does need to have revamping and updating. The reality of it because I look at history is what they want to achieve is not going to be achieved with in the means of this bill. So we should expect more to come in the future and more debt for or children and our children' s children.

Anything other than CNN, NBC ,CBS is just so unbelievably biased. I agree with the OP. Just imagine the interest that our great grandchildren are going to be paying back to China. The stimulus plan is not what they say it is. It's a spending plan. Big government here we come. Hey I have an idea!! Why don't you give tax breaks to the small business and medium business so they can keep the employees they have. Instead of not hiring and laying off. Let the people have their money and do what they can with it to stimulate the economy. And if they screw it up don't bail their dumb a$$'s out!! Thomas Jefferson "That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves."

AMEN Brotha!

I tried to start a new thread in TEch but I guess I'm not allowed. Anyways I look up the thermostat on Ron Ayres. They only show one thermostat and tempsensor. So I called and they said they don't know of any aftermarket lower temp thermostat ot a lower temp Tempture sensor. With a bigger radiator it might not warm up as fast but the temp sensor works in conjunction with the thermostat to actuate the fan to kick on. Someone correct me if I'm wrong! I'm am by no means a expert. I just tinker on everything I own and learn along the way.

Maybe you could change thermostats. I'm looking into it right now. IDK never looked into it till now. I will make a SV talk thread when I figure something out. What is the hottest temp you have seen. I think my fan turns on around 212. It has been discussed on SVR a lot and 212 is about right.

This is the only aftermarket radiator I have ever came across.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PWR-Aluminum-Radiator-Suzuki-SV650-SV-650-2003-2008_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem140292333079QQitemZ140292333079QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I don't know if it is any bigger or not. I also don't know anyone who has one. I have a stock 1K radiator for sale on SVR $120 for pick up. I'm selling it for $150 shipped. I have more pic of stuff in here. http://s159.photobucket.com/albums/t132/mdnd777/daves%201K%20parts/ Wow I have really jacked this thread up pretty good!

Why do you need a bigger radiator?

I guess it is a lot cheaper than a legit belly pan. He has a nice radiator also.

Hopefully you don't have to be a member to see the thread.

I understand what your saying but a lot of the guys I have seen will buy a naked because the are just going to put aftermarket plastics (Hotbodies) on it anyways. I don't know if you have ever been to SVR but here is a link to a thread that is basically full of SV race bikes. I think you might enjoy the sights. http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=54027

From what I have heard it is replacing the Naked SV. I know they are keeping the "S" for 09. But haven't heard anything beyond 09. Lizard if you have heard different out of Suzuki please fill me in! Edit- Well the design is barf.

Only difference I can see with the forks are they are painted black. I'm hoping I can make it to the bike show at the IX Center this weekend so I can take a closer look. I still think they aren't even adjustable. Suspension is the first thing any SV owner or buyer should do. Cheap internals with no adjustment is one way Suzuki keeps the cost down.
