Greetings to all SV650 fans,From Turkiye

I just bought my 2004 Suzuki SV650S as my second bike,as i was using a Hyosung GT250 Naked(2006)...

Searched the net for forums and found that this is the biggest site on the net about our bikes.

First i asked my self what i was doing in UK forums then i thought Biking is universal and every information is international.So decided to sign up.

Let me tell about my self,i am 25(born 1983) , working as a field officer in TAF, riding bikes since i know myself.

We dont have so many SV650 users here in my country cuz people dont like V2 engines here but i mentioned that its a really proved model in UK and in surroundings.

Thats quite enough for a "hello message" i think.Expecting help in every topic.Hi all again, See yaa

Yeah I'm just being pedantic because I'm bored....

V twin engines, like the SV, have 2 cylinders, the conrods both bear on the same crankpin, V2 engines have a different crankpin for each conrod.

We are touring around Europe this summer, but only going as far as Romania and Croatia, not down to Turkey sadly. But as the others say, AR09 (our annual ride-out weekend) at your house!

Surprisingly good considering how cheap it was.

Yeah thnx.I've been studying it for 15 years and used be a simultanous interpreter when i was in War College.BUt not practicing nearly for 2 years and started to forget things :( :smt088

Ooh i remember that brand of beer. :)

Surprisingly good considering how cheap it was.

Nothing to consider.Turkey is the heart of agriculture.Its not the only good and cheap beer in Turkey dont mention that Turkey has a %98 percent muslim population.We like to drink and have fun.

And ASM-Frover have ever tried Raki? (The Lion Milk(!)) and also ever heard of koumiss(real mare milk)...

By the way i need to ask some questions

Which is the best RPM on the long way for optiumum consumption?

And how can we set the digital clock on the screen.I have 2004 SV650 S ?

Tiger 55

18-03-08, 01:23 PM

I don't think anyone on here speaks a word of Turkish...
Tesekk?r ederim. That's two words!

Don't know about fuel consumption mate, petrol here is so cheap nodody really pays any atention...

As for adjusting the clock, press and hold SEL and ADJ until the time flashes, then ADJ to set the hour, SEL when it's right, ADJ to set the minutes and SEL to finish.

SV Talk, Tuning and Tweaking (http://forums.sv650.org/forumdisplay.php?f=111) is the place for more complicated questions answered by more knowledgeable people. :)

18-03-08, 02:14 PM

Yeah i looked under that topic but couldnt find them there...for ex i still cant find any topics about top cases :D

and yes oil is a big problem here but still my bike is really a chary bike so no need to worry about it i think.

18-03-08, 02:23 PM

And ASM-Frover have ever tried Raki? (The Lion Milk(!)) and also ever heard of koumiss(real mare milk)...

Yes i had it in a cafe after my authentic Turkish kebab. It tasted like Pastis to me, which as a Frenchman i've drunk a lot of. :D

I didn't try koumiss though.

Alpinestarhero

18-03-08, 04:06 PM

Fuel consumption: I find on my sv, that around 5-6000 rpm offers the best economy when travelling along a given road for a long amount of time. In the UK, this is where the engine is revving when going down the motorway at 70-80 mph

Economy is best when your throttle openings are as minimal as possible and you are always in the correct gear :D

Well its the starting of spring nearly whole of my country is renewing u can swim now in Mediterenian coasts but u can also ski at the moment after half an hour trip :D

I think u never heard about a place where u can have 4 seasons at time in every day of a year:D

May be u can make an annual ride to Turkey but u need to come by ship cuz u will have to make 2 times of the way since u come the Turkish border

I heard that there are ferry boats from Italy to Izmır

:smt006I have been to a small bit of Anatolia (I think) :lol: well Cappadocia and some places near there. Lovely, as was the coast down Kas way. Reminds me I havent been in touch with my Turkish friend for a while, he was going to take me to the mountain with the heads of the kings on it onetime but we never got around to it.
Yeah capadocia is a real natural wonder.Anda that mountain is Nemrut mountain as called as tehe "mountian of the kings" also it is famous with its sunset.(Called as the best in the world)
...Turkey being such a small country and all ;) :lol:
Small country correct me if am wrong but we are one of the biggest in whole europe...
Welcome Mehmet.

You are wrong, your country is mostly in Asia! HTH ;)

19-03-08, 07:46 PM

But i didnt talked about the part in Europe cuz i take Turkiye as a whole land so its still one of the largest

And why does it bother u so much?

It doesnt, we are using our peculiar English sense of humour. For example, if I go to the USA, without doubt someone will say 'So you know Joe Bloggs from Edinburgh then?' Erm. no....as we have a 60m population. On the other hand, I might do, stranger things happen.

As we English say, we are pulling your plonker ;) :D

Of course, England is only a tiny country and yet we rule the Scots, Welsh and Irish and nearly most of the rest of the world :wink:

TURSV650S

19-03-08, 08:58 PM

I really dont care who u rule or who rules u...My only concern here is my bike and issues about it.
But we are a part of Europe as a whole not only with Thrace.Thats why i made it a deal...

Ok lets go another way. It was a joke and was said tongue in cheek. There is a lot of that on here!

I was meant to go to Ankara a few weeks ago but i looked at the weather and it was ridiculously cold, something crazy like -15!

March is one of the coldest mounts in Central Anatolia that was why it was so much cold...
