  1. SV Modifications and General Maintenance
    '08 Suzuki SVA w/ABS I have to bleed my front brakes on a regular basis. Immediately after bleeding the lever action is good. But after a month or so it gets spongy and needs to be bled again. How is air getting in there? Do I need to rebuild or replace my master cylinder? The master...

    Hey fellas. I got an issue with my front brakes on my 03 SV650s. Have Had the bike a few years, never messed with the brake system. Fast forward to now, the bike sat for a few months, and my front master cylinder seems to have issues. Still works, but doesn’t return properly and my brake light...

    I recently bought this sv650 as a project which has been sitting for a while. When taking apart the front brakes the whole system was full of orange gunk (i think brake fluid with rust), so i clean the calipers, splitter and master cylinder all the way. full disassembly, clean and reassembly...

    What's up guys, I looked around and didn't find anything addressing this problem, well addressing the front brake bleeding issues and offering a simple but I guess overlooked fix to the problem that many seem to have missed as well as myself. Ok well after banging my head against a wall...

    I've owned my 2000 sv for about 8 months now and finally decided to do a full examination of the rear brakes. I was getting a very loud squeal after about 10 minutes of riding and it was driving me nuts. In addition, I realized I had gotten into the habit of double pumping the rear brakes...
  6. SV650 Gen2 (03-15) Tech
    Hey all, recently replaced front brake lines and got a new ebay brake lever assembly, so I had to begin the process of bleeding a nearly dry system. After a week of trying to get all the air out through the bottom, I decided I'd try reverse bleeding the system with a large syringe and piece of...

    Novice question incoming...... I'm fairly new to biking and have a K4 Sv650s in blue. I have just recently cleaned the calipers and pistons and while doing so changed all the brake pads. When fitting the pads on the rear and setting all the torques on the bolts to the correct level I thought I'd...

    So I just ordered a new set of braided Venhill brake lines front and rear, the rears are perfect and nothing is wrong with them. The front lever has no pressure at all but I can still bleed them just fine, there is no air in the lines and they are fully bled but I still have no pressure and no...

    Hi, Recently, I realized my rear wheel rotor was all burned up. I placed it on stands and saw that my pads were completely jammed. The wheel was barely turning at all. I removed the caliper, cleaned everything, pushed back the piston in. Then, I squeezed the rear brake pedal and saw that the...
  10. SV650 Gen3 (17-...) Tech
    Hi All, TLDR: Looking for Suspension and Brakes upgrades recommendations. I have a 2019 SV650 X and I'm wanting to do some upgrades that will actually improve the quality of riding the bike. Everything I've read/heard is that SV's need improved front and rear suspension and better brakes. You...
  11. SV Modifications and General Maintenance
    I did my annual brake flush a few weeks ago and got my front brake lever to pull about 1 inch before full lock. I was very happy with it as my front lever pull has been too long (1.5 - 2 in), even though I have stainless steel lines and rebuilt the master cylinder and calipers less than 2 years...
