Want to see inside my SV engine...?
Hi All,
I have had a tough 6 months and had not made any new content for a while, but I am back now and as always, I welcome your thoughts and comments on the latest video. I bought the engine second hand with the pure purpose to take it apart and film myself doing it. I welcome suggestions for future videos too, especially now I have a whole engine to play with! https://youtu.be/hAbRVTQNC9E

Re: Want to see inside my SV engine...?
An informative video that. Having never gone further than the plugs, it's interesting to see how it all fits together inside.

Re: Want to see inside my SV engine...?
Brilliant as always. I thought I understood but now realize I had a few things wrong with my "knowledge". Great to see the clutch elements. Shims aren't what I imagined either!
Thanks for making the video. |

Re: Want to see inside my SV engine...?
Its nice to see people taking an interest in how engines work, and particularly using a SV for demonstration. However, the explanation of how the engine starts could in my opinion do with some tidying. The following is my basic understanding...
When the starter motor is activated it spins the idle gear, which in turn spins the starter clutch. This is not a fly wheel but a one way clutch where by in one direction it is inactive but in the other it will transfer the power from the starter motor via the idle gear to the starter clutch which then turns the crank. And once the engine has started the the starter clutch is disengaged. I'm sure there is a lot more that can be added to that and it would be interesting to see, such as how the starter clutch actuates, how it engages and disengages particularly once the engine is spinning, and (as its been a while since I've been inside a SV engine) why that idle gear has two sets of teeth. Ideas for future videos. |

Re: Want to see inside my SV engine...?
Good video - and can I say without being called a misogynist that it is great to see women taking an interest in engines and such - well done.
how a generic sprag clutch operates.. https://www.gmnbt.com/sprag-clutches.htm

Tamsen is well worth a sub on youtubes, she's my go-to when I tackle jobs (with a manual/parts diagram for reference also)

Re: Want to see inside my SV engine...?
Only half-way through watching, but what a great video!
I know plenty about taking some bike parts to pieces and doing pretty much aesthetic-only mods, but I've always steered clear of engines (I know about 'suck, squeeze, bang, blow' and a little more than that!) so for me this is a real education. Keep 'em coming! |
