Maybe not so much with slow moving parts, but if you read on here quite a few ppl seem to need to replace choke cables. It seems daft that also quite a few people mention that their local dealer dosent stock them. Maybe just because they are so popular they get sold out more often, but then again thats just poor stock management.
As for the extortionate prices, this is how the manufacturers make some of their development money back on cheap machines. Sell the bike cheap and charge a little extra for the spares. Notice the price of quite a few parts for the SV are more expensive than say some similar GSX-R parts, even though the GSX-R parts are of higher quality. - Just an example
