topic comes up once every couple of months, basically it's not worth the hassle, engine is a different size, as is the frame, and the mounting points are different

be patient, the reason the insurance is expensive is cause you're likely to park it in a hedge soemwhere - the SV will go plenty quick with a decent pilot on board, get to know it and you'll get far more enjoyment from out riding full on sportbikes in the corners instead of just blasting past them on the straights

+ 1 Except that time on the SV will mean you can extract the maximum from your sportsbike when you get it

If you want a few more BHP from your SV, then end can or full system, get the carbs set up or the ECU remapped, add a performance air filter.If you have a curvey then search for Northwinds threads on doing the pointy intake cam swap.

Thats as much as I'd do you can do all that reasonably cheaply you can get more power but it starts getting expensive and you may reduce the life of your engine if you go down the 750 big bore kit.

Big bores IMHO arent worth it, save your money and buy a bigger bike if you want a stupid lot of extra BHP.

See signature fro SV tuning ideas...

SV big bores can reduce engine life, build it right and you won't have any issues.

One thing you may want to consider if you're planning engine modifications is the effect it will have on your insurance. Not sure how things work in Canada but over here it makes insurance more difficult to obtain and will usually increase the premium

Well you can still do other mods other then increase size, just simple tunning of the engine can help.
