Just when I thought 99 k1 couldn't worse. The lower pin on the front callipers somehow cameout (retaining split pin must have come loose) - the pin has come out an gouged it's way into the wheel spokes by about 2 mm on each one.
As well as replacing a cheap part I am guessing I need to change the wheel as the structure will be weakened now. If this is the case where can you get them as I can't find any and I am a bit worried about 2nd off ebay incase it's not true. cheers PB |

A 1999 model is an 'X' and a 'K1' is a 2001 model, both are Curvy's and share the same parts that you require.
Is there visible damage to the front wheel, do you have a photo? |

Any front wheel from a 1999 to 2002 SV650 will fit, if you need a new one, and there are two colours silver of gunmetal.
As shown above the best place to look for one is on Ebay, or start a thread in the wanted section on this forum. |

Alas since buying it this year I have shelled out about £800 on various things (rectifier, battery, new boots & shoes, services and carb balancing but this is just the latest set back. It's a shame as she is superb when she runs but there has hardly been a month go by trouble free. Unfortunately the damage to the wheel is very visible there is a gouge about 2mm in depth and 5mm wide and 10mm long on all 3 spokes. I'm sure the wheel would hold but if I ever need to hit the brakes hard it might not take the extra pressure. Worst thing now is the old mrs is giving me hassle to get shot of it ![]() |

I would hazard a guess that the previous owner neglected the bike, SV's are reliable when treated right like virtually all bikes.
I would replace that wheel just in case as the spokes are hollow, does sound worse than I first thought, although if you do get rid of the SV make sure you inform the potential buyer. |

tell her she'll need to go first-where you based mate-maybe there's a orger who stays close that can give your bike the once over and pass on any sv advice and maintenance/service tips.
