Gas i wish you lived closer. It would be awesome to have you help me learn about the mechanics of SV. Or just mechanics in general.

I've bought a manual for every vehicle I have owned, and as long as you follow the directions you really cant go wrong. The books aren't perfect and there is some knowledge and tricks of the trade you need to know on your own, stuck bolts, gasket removal, random stuff like that, but for the most part everything is straight forward.

Just dealt with that trying to raise the SV back to stock height. Yea it's the stuff I need to learn on my own that I don't know. The guy I rode with today rode the SV while I was on his and he got off and said I need to fix the front end and I didn't even know anything was wrong. I'm used to riding it as is and having no help when I have questions. |

Stuck bolts suck, you need to use a good penetrant, wd40, liquid wrench, or PB blaster (best).
