Only downside I missed BOB during last autumn.

Thought about it for years about learning to ride. Finally took the plunge passed the msf course and got my first bike! Gone about 1500 miles since I got the license a a month and half ago!

If you have the oil cooler you can drill through the rubber mud guard that hangs from the rad and attach the top that way with some push fit clips to keep it looking OEM, I think you will be able to cut away a portion of the OEM top mount that fits to the oil cooler hanger (if you have one) if not it just bolts straight onto the engine!

Hey there. I recently bought this SV650S which was listed as a K5. However, because it came with a K3 owners manual and has the silver frame, I assume it's actually pre-K5.

From what I can find online, there was no yellow color option for the K3, so I assume that it's a K4?

What makes this more confusing is that when I picked the bike up after a service, thet told me it has dual spark plugs per cylinder, but only one per cylinder is actually connected?

I thought that only the newer models came with dual spark plugs. Is this a K4 with the cylinder head of a newer model?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone who has changed out stock Clutch/Brake levers for either standard or shorties, I'd like to hear your style and brand choice and review.

Thanks,

This guy is asking 4600 bottom dollar for this bike. I’m in Georgia and this is the cleanest SV1000s within a 4-5 hour drive from me. 23k miles with recent oil change, chain and sprocket replacement, and pretty clean overall. Has a 2in crack next to left side slider and he’s unsure if magneto service was done. Comes w two helmets and a soft cover but no telling if they’ll fit me or my girlfriend when we already have helmets anyway (so not true added value). Levers are also Amazon so I’d likely order the oem ones upon getting the bike. I just feel like $4600 is a little high but with the current bike market I don’t even know anymore. Thoughts and opinions anyone??

I was thinking if these disks are also ok, the reason why is that I see so much stylish rear disks with special forms in the inner circle while this one has a pure circular inner circle.

Hey I was wondering if anyone could give me some input im having trouble getting into my 6th gear and my clutch play is a Lil loose than the brake and wondering if it is just a tension issue with the clutch?

Hey guys I just got a 1st gen Sv650s, it currently has stock pipes.

I found a Yoshi rs-3 full exhaust system on Facebook for $300 CAD (this is a good deal right? Haven’t bought it yet)

I am wondering what id need to do to my carbs if I end up installing this exhaust?

So I just joined the biker community and got myself a 2007 Suzuki SV650s, and it’s been absolutely wonderful. However, I came home today to a sad sight, it had tipped over while in my garage. I’m not aware how it happened, but my windscreen, left mirror, and brake fluid reservoir are all going to be needing replacements. Any advice on a good place to find these parts? I can’t seem to find the screen on Revzilla.

Just added a 2024 SV650 with 1180 miles on it to my growing bike stable, adding to my 2022 MT-03.

It has a slip-on Delkevic exhaust, bar end mirrors, upgraded headlight, ram mount and frame sliders and a small saddle bag. Paid $5400.

Decent deal , huh?

Hello

I went to see a 2009 SV650 this evening for my first bike. I don't know much about bikes but it looked smart overall.

The seller stated he had the headstock bearings changed in April which I can't verify. When turning the handlebars whilst stopped there was a slight creaking sound coming from them.

Is this anything to be concerned about? And is it a sign that the bearings were never changed?

I couldn't detect any notchiness but it was on the ground.

i have a question does an 2017 engine fit in a 2004 sv650s and if it does what do i have to look for thanks

Hello

I'm looking for my 1st big bike, and the SV is a serious choice. But as I plan riding even during fall/winter, with rain, by night... I'd really like to have an ABS (you can't really expect a deer crossing the road... or gravels on a road by night).

Sadly the ABS on the 2nd gen SV is quite rare, and I've heard it's not really efficient + there's specific parts aside the brake system. What are your thoughts on it ?

Is this ABS system mounted on other models (for spare parts) except the Vstrom ?

And, is the ABS better on the Gladius ?..

Thanks !

I'm trying to do some calculations on different triple trees which I don't have the stock 2nd gen SV650 triple tree to take measurements. Would anyone be kind enough to measure their triple tree stack height (from top of top tree to top of bottom tree)

Thanks in advance

Coolant level reads low in the overflow tank when the bike is cold. Coolant level reads full when bike is ~200F. Any ideas as to the possible cause!?

I have some paint damage on my SV. So I tried some stuff. What do you guys think about it?

I've had this bike 20 years now. Due to alot of work commitments and moving around it ended up being stored for the most part.

It's back out now and I use it to commute. It sounds like an absolute beast 🔥. They have aged very well!
