Hi Everyone,

Im a total noob on this forum, and bought my 99 SV650 SX a few months ago, after a 6 month break from my last bike, a 2001 cbr 600f-Sport.


Ive basically been offered can for my SV, but its from a newer '04 bike, and was wondering what the actual compatibility issues were between the newer and older models, as Ive noticed that usually they are usually catergorised to fit '99-02' or '03-08' models, but cant actually find anything about why they are different . . .and Im sure someone on here can tell me!

Many thanksv:confused::)

don't quote me, but I think the pipe diameter is wider on an 03-present SV than a 99-02.

Link pipe is different. If can is cheap it's worth getting a custom made one. Usually about £30

That was quick! cheers all :)

Thought it might be something like that!

Will look into the cost of a custom link pipe locally . . .then weigh up whether its worth the hassle!

Thanks again:D

could it be worth phoning fuel etc . . . with the diameters to see if they got anything like it?

Its actually a beowulf exhaust, Ive just emailed them to see if they do/have the custom pipe. If they do i'd imagine its prob best to get one off them.

thanks again :)

They do, they also have jig for SV pipe so should be able to sort you something without taking the bike to them.

I believe it is £30.
