You just need to undo the two bottom rad bolts then you can swing the rad forward enough to get your hand in there to take the plug lead off and with a bit of fiddling you can get the suzuki plug too in there to get the plug out.

Also on the RHS of the fron cylinder is a small hole, shove a pipe cleaner or the straw from a can of WD40 up there and make sure its clear. That hole is for any water that does collect around the front plug ot drain away.

On the curvey SVS it helps if you undo the fairing bolts so that you can pop the fairing off the radiator as it attaches to that.

What sort of SV is it you have ?
