Looks like no change for 2009 sv650

[Wycombe Dave]

If you believe in the mole who has a column in the mcn! but he also says they will now come with twin spark! so he cant know that much because they have had that since 07! l also noticed they have a oxygen sensor in the exhaust now as well!!

[yorkie_chris]

The lambda sensor isn't new either

The 07+ has twin sparkers?

Yep, or the one I looked at in the dealers definately did.

Its just MCN cack again isnt it...

[ThEGr33k]

Wooo. Mine is twin spark too. :D

Aye I wish they would make a SV-R when they remake it. A nice Tuned 750-1000 V-2 in a good racy Gixxer style frame with all the extra's :D

That wont happen though, damn Japs are boring atm...

No point doing that for what is essentially an entry level bike. They use all their R&D on the SS bikes I guess. Still, we can hope.

Aye...

I dont mean to replace... To run along side. :)

For some reason though the IL4 seems popular. I have never understood it tbh. :(

Like you say we can hope. :D

if only they still made Falco's eh? ay? ay? ;)

I have one... :p

It was a part of a bike group that didn't seem to do too well, the sporty tourer, SV1000, firestorm, Falco, SS900 etc. (though its more a comfy sports bike). People tend to just go for the Tourer or the sports bike. I guess people always want the biggest numbers and the biggest names. :rolleyes: Maybe its a bragging thing?

Who knows...

here is something that might sum it up lol. The start anyway... :smt044

Id prefer to stand out with a less mainstream bike to be honest.

Exactly...

Nah... a Curvy frame is well up to the job, it is an excellent frame.

No surprise the SV isn't changing again, shame as the bike is so ugly in its current form. ;)

[Davido]

Have they made a fenda extenda come as standard yet? because they really need to get on that.

Probably not, I am surprised that it never became an official accessory either.

Both frames are probably upto the job. I was mostly meaning in its rake and trail etc. Make the thing steer a little more spoty... :cool:

[yorkie_chris]

Easy enough to do by jacking the back end up a bit.

Curvy frame is excellent, pointy one does it almost as well just cheaper.

Oh I know about that fix... my current bike will be having that mod to make it steer quicker.

[yorkie_chris]

It's not so much a fix as an adjustment, there's loads of stuff you can do to that end, adjustable yokes, raise forks, different tyre profiles.

That's a pity because they're a really good class of bikes - sporty and practical. Though the VFR really falls into this category too (even though it's a v4, not a v2) and that's not exactly unpopular.

Aye I have dropped the Yokes (raised the forks) about 20mm which helped a little. I think ill be putting the back up 25mm as well (why is the bike so badly setup out of factory!?). Ill have to change the fork springs too as they are the wrong damn rate for my small ****. :rolleyes:

lol a little off of subject woops. I always do this sigh.

Id say the VFR is more tourer than sporty, not by much but id say my bike is much more sporty than one. Good bike, just a little heavy :smt085
