SV maintenance costs?
I'm planning on getting an SV at some point when I've done my das. What sort of regular maintenance do they require over and above oil, filters, coolant etc. Are there any horrendously expensive major services.? Dom

Re: Maintenance costs sv
servicing is pretty much the same as the other big 3 japenese brands,except suzuki service intervals are shorter,by about 3 to 1(3 times more often that is)

Re: Maintenance costs sv
Sorry I'm not well versed in motorbike service intervals, unless I'm putting lots of miles annually on it what would be the intervals?

Re: Maintenance costs sv
3500-4000 oil and filter (do yourself for £20), 7500 oil filter and spark plugs (do yourself for £27 - £34 depending on how many plugs your bike has), 11000-11500 oil and filter (do yourself for £20), 15000 oil filter possible air filter and valve clearances, costs £300-£400 at a dealer or garage although you can do it yourself if you feel up to it.
Buy a Haynes Manual, these are listed in it as well as how to do it.

Maintenance costs sv
Quote:
Compared with say a Fazer 8, the Yamaha has a service interval of 10,000km and the SV 6,000km. (6,000 miles and about 3,750) But don't get me started. Why do NGK spark plugs last longer in a Honda or Yamaha block than they do in a Suzuki? Why do nuts and bolts need more checking on some makes than others? Why would an air filter block more readily? |

Air filters will get dirty quicker if your riding alot in town where the air is much more dirty and when riding in poor weather. |
