Yellow (pearl lively) bike in very clean condition. Only 14,500 miles. 2 owners with current owner since 20 months old. Summer use only since less than 1 year old & sold to me in standard condition apart from race can & Suzuki seat cowl.
3 items were replaced before warranty expired:- fuel tank (rust pin-marks underneath), water pump casing (flaking paint) & rear brake torque arm (new one b/blasted & powdercoated) New tank was given coat of paint underneath to avoid repetition.....
Modifications done:
Front springs replaced with WP kit, & oil upgraded.
Rear shock replaced at approx 12,000 miles by brand new GSXR shock & custom-made stainless dog-bones.
Goodridge F/brake hoses.
Iridium screen (very good condition, looks fab)
Yellow colour-coded hugger & Suzuki chainguard. (done by BikePaints)
Harris Performance Rear-sets. (made for GSXR SRAD I believe, work well on SV)
Stainless radiator guard.
Sun Riser (Canadian-made) crash bungs, designed specifically for the SV. Best available?
K & N air filter.
Ignition retard modified.
Long-life Iridium spark plugs.
Semi-polished forks. Polished & lacquered starter motor. Zinc-plated disc mounting bolts front and rear. (VERY noticeable)
Uprated headlamp bulbs.
Extenda fenda.
Exhaust........available with EITHER CCC road-legal stainless oval can (new 2005), OR Scorpion race can/stock Suzuki combo.
Ugly rear "snow-shovel" rear mudguard removed. Trimmed & pared down, using standard indicators, relocated into undertray & neat 3 l.e.d. number-plate light.
Paddock stand bobbins.
2 workshop manuals included in sale, 1 official Suzuki, 1 Haynes.
The bike has been 100% reliable, & is admired by other Scottish SV owners I know, because it's in great condition. Most of the modification info has been gleaned from this website. The changes to the suspension have improved the handling substantially, stiffening the front end, & making the rear more compliant & also damping - adjustable.
It was bought new by 1st owner at a local dealer & serviced by them for both of us until the 2 year warranty period expired. Thereafter I've done the routine stuff, oil/filters, lubricating & carb-balancing myself. Most of the time spent on the bike is keeping the finish in good order,- cleaning after every ride, minimising oxidisation on the fasteners, etc.
As a result, the bike could easily pass for half its age. I have seen photographs on the SV website with "as clean" bikes, but I've never seen one in Scotland of a similar year as good as this one. In my ownership it’s come off the road in October, garaged & the engine run up to operating temperature every 6 weeks or so. The oil has been changed at the start of the season, irrespective of mileage.
The price is negotiable depending on the extras desired, but I'd rather sell it with extras included if possible. If you're after a 'curvy' SV I think you'll struggle to find a better one.
Price as listed £1770. Negotiable depending on extras required. (rearsets for instance)
