Sv650s 2016 Spark Plugs - 2 or 4?
Could anyone tell me how many spark plugs the SV650s 2016 has please? As it's a V-Twin I assumed it has 2 like my old SV1000 and old SV650, but the owners book is showing 2 arrows at the front and 2 under the tank for the spark plug locations. Having trouble getting to 2 of them ATM so I'm still unsure.

Don't envy you, the single sparks can be a pig to do

I found the 2 on the 04 sv1000 not to bad at all, but there's one on the sv650s (16) that's tucked to the side of the carb by the coolant bottle under the tank that looks like it could beat me hands down. If anyone has any advice for this apart from taking it to an overpriced shop I'd be very greatful

Re: Sv650s 2016 Spark Plugs - 2 or 4?
never worked on the new SV but i do know where the plugs are.
sitting on the bike: the front plugs are 1st on the top of the head and 2nd on the right hand side of the head. the rear plugs are 1st on the top of the head and 2nd is on the left hand side of the head. to get at the front top plug you need to swing the radiator out the way (keep it out the way with a block of wood cut to size) i tend to just drop the radiator out the way on the pointy, the front side plug is easy as its right in front of you. the rear plugs are, lift the tank for the top rear, i have no idea how the new sv is on the left rear side but i would hazard a guess that its behind the expansion tank. the depth of the top plugs is weird and requires a very short extension bar for clearance of the radiator and bottom of the tank. or the best tool is actually the plug spanner tool that comes with the bike. dont tighten the plugs too tight or they will snap at the thread. read the box the plugs come in and it will tell you. |
