i cant remember off the top of my head but in the manual aren't SV owners to change out their fuel lines every 5 years? also o rings and gaskets perish, by and large they are all made from the same stuff and are fuel and oil resistant. you just have to look at what brake seals have to put up with to realise they are robust things.
start using E10 now and sort out any problems so you have none in the future.

Manuals for bikes do suggest changing fuel lines/brake lines I think every 4 years or so but I have had bikes of various ages and never known the dealer change lines or even suggest it when the bikes were serviced.
