SV1000 into an SV650?

[ryangarside]

Just a thought, is it possible to fit an sv1000 engine into an sv650 frame? anybody know if its do-able and whats needed to do so? i.e different carbs etc? (im on about a pre injection sv..) cheers :)

no dont think so

just buy a TL or sv thou

[Bedhead]

I've seen a TL1000 engine in a curvy, it was in streetfighters years ago, but I don't think it was an easy job.:)

do a search this has been asked and answered by the peoplewho know many times

[andrewsmith]

buy a tl thou and spend the saving putting a proper rear shock on it!!

It cost me £300 to upgrade to an SV1000. You'd be mad to convert for that money.

Lots of work.

You need to mod and weld frame, fitting carbs to SV1000 is hard in itself, you could use firestorm carbs but I bet you would lose power as they're not big enough, you would need megajolt or something to do the spark for you.

Guy who did it before used SV1000 TBs and ECU etc. Still muchos work and I don't think it was ever really "finished".

You can tune the 650 to the point of being a grenade anyway :)

i went from 2005 sv650 to 2003 sv1000 and ended up with an extra £500 in my pocket. both bikes had 9k on the clocks.;)

Go you! Mine was still a cracking deal, with less miles, and a tasty set of mods on it. 18 miles in the last two years in total. Couldnt be better for me :)

By time you have told insurance about putting thou motor in 650 I bet it would be same.

I recon it'd probably more. 1000cc heavily modified vehicle

Don't do it.

Don't know about the SV1000, but a TL engine can be made to fit, frame needs a fair bit of modding though. Pretty much a money pit.

I did it cos I was bored, it's too expensive and would advise anyone against it.

Never a good idea fella. You crash, youa re not insured, simple. Anyway, sure you knew that already.

[ryangarside]

works the same way for any modifications, im sure im no tthe only person who maybe changes an exhaust etc and doesnt declare it... lol maybe people not declaring points aswell? :P lol

[yorkie_chris]

Don't mention stuff like that on this website. All the "won't somebody think of the children" brigade will be whinging.

There's more to it than undisclosed modifications = not insured too. But it's enough to just say you'd be in the sh*t.
