Re: New member
Oh now that is a stunning bike! I agree with an earlier comment to put some lowers on there, really gives it a great look!
Maintenance is pretty straightforward, I would suggest a Haynes manual is a major time saver as it has so much info in one place.

New member here, well actually a very old member from the original sv650.org, but returning after many years away.
Pic of my SV owned from new. Now at 35k miles but still looking good and going strong. |

Re: New member
The OP's bike is way too nice to 'fighter.
I thought about 'fightering mine, but decided it would be sacrilege. Put tasteful high bars on her instead. So comfy, should have done it years ago...... Last edited by andy650; 21-06-17 at 09:15 PM. |

Re: New member
I love the higher bars, easy enough to fit them and very comfortable.
I used Renthal Ultra Low Road bars in titanium colour. Only needed longer brake hoses, all other cables and wires are standard (but rerouted slightly). £30 for the naked yoke, £10 for a new smaller fluid pot (looks a lot better than the standard one relocated due to size) Screen was cut slightly, but still looks stock double bubble. Whole job was done for around £100 with a few hours fiddling. I learnt the naked bottom yoke is different (shorter stem) to the faired, but it is possible to use the naked top yoke on a faired bottom yoke if you use spacers. |

Re: New member
Agree, my 2016 AL7 came with similar bars - riding position is great for me, no problems with back or wrists aching - and bonus is the faster you go the less weight on your wrists ( up to the legal speed limit of course LOL ).
