ALL SV650's came with a tank larger than 4 gallons.
Unless it's NOT a stock tank...

Just ask Dirk.
Problem is, you might have to wait for us a couple of laps before we decide to stop and help you back ;-).
next time i'm gonna just throw myself in the middle of the track!!

We don't mean to imply that you won't run low by the end of the day, but it's not the norm to run out of gas midday or anything.
One of the last ones we were at, Dirk ran out, Loren ran out, Scott ran out, I almost ran out...
BUT...this was like at the VERY end of the day and we were all done anyway and trading up with each other's bikes and playing around while people were trying to even pack up ;-)

The only one that actually ran OUT of gas was Dirk... riding Loren's bike, lol.
But we pushed him back in... after a few laps, haha

Matt, my tank is NOT 4 gallons. I don't know what did the previous owner(s) but it is more like 3. When commuting the gaz mileage drop a low 35. That explains why I fill it every 80 miles.
Well, that is not too bad, I know some people who must stop every 80 miles for other reasons
Maybe the previous owner forgot to tell you about the petcock and reserve switch, lol

Had the best time i have ever had on a bike. Glad i could share it with you all. We had a few spills but everyone was ok. Thanks Sterb and Wonka for showing me the lines and taking me around the track. Sure to be more on this later but i'm tired.
And thanks Lee from vicious cycles for the shirts!

+1 also the best time I have ever had on my bike. Great group of guys to have a trackday with!!!!
The track is AWESOME, very very technical yet you have a few highspeed parts which makes it the best of both worlds.
Roger is a badass and one of the chillest guys ever, thanks for operating such a great facility, just wish it was closer to tucson!!!
Definetly will be going back!!!

Couldn't agree more. Easily the most fun I've had at a track day. I put just over 100 miles on my DRZ, and about 4 miles on the ZRX, good times. I'm so sore right now, I could hardly get out of bed today, lol.
Next track day needs to just like this one, well, maybe not JUST like it, lol
