  1. SV Modifications and General Maintenance
    Hi all. My 2017 SV650 has just gone in for a service with a Suzuki Dealer in Auckland, NZ. It is the 24,000km (15,000miles) service so I was warned that it was an expensive one. Also got told that it required two new tyres due to cracking. The tyres were new when I bought the bike two years...
  2. SV Modifications and General Maintenance
    I got to work this morning and found this square bolt with a screw hole through the centre of it next to the bike. It has a flat end and is about 3c long not sure if it is off the bike but I thought I'd make sure it wasn't important. Does anyone have any ideas? The bike is a 2008 SV650S

    Alright. This is an absolute mess, but I'm fixin my own mistakes at least lol The symptoms: Low idle in neutral (eventually stalls) started from riding in rain (has happened twice now. changing air filter and spark plugs fixed last time.) when giving 50% throttle, feels like i'm getting 15%...

    Hi, New here, but have known the SV and it's devoted community for a while now :) I have a '02 SV650N (first gen) with some clutch issues, namely I have difficulty in getting the clutch slipping properly. The bike has 78k kilometers on it (approx. 49k miles). When starting the bike and trying...

    Hello everyone. I'm getting the bike ('01) ready for spring weather and decided to change my clutch pack and springs. I removed the side cover, 6 bolts/springs. I found the center hub nut to be very loose. Thank goodness for the locking tab securing the nut or she would've thrown a fit. I also...

    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...

    Well, have had my bike for a couple of months now and it needed a good chain cleaning. Finally got the stuff and got to work... ton of crud came off of it and had a couple of rust spots - now gone. Did a bunch of spraying and wiping, then finally some spray wax for lube. Heck of a difference...
  8. Suspension, Brakes & Tires
    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...
  9. SV650 Gen1 (99-02) Tech
    So as the title says, I tried adjusting the chain without a rear-wheel stand since the manual didn't mention needing one, but the main mistake was not loosening the axle nut while gripping the nug on the other end. The chain adjuster on the kick stand's side tightened accordingly but when I went...
