Olá sou novo neste fórum, adquiri recentemente nova mota, sv650 de carburador de 2002, tem 29 000km, ultima fornada de carburador!
Sou de Lisboa, Portugal,
Não é a minha primeira mota, já tive anteriormente 10 motas e 3 minimotos
Ainda não pesquisei muito sobre o modelo, de defeitos e feitios, apenas que é uma boa mota, com um bom motor
Podem ajudar no que tenho de verificar nela, o que tenho de ter em atenção?

Hi and welcome!

Boas-Vindas! Welcome to the forum. My best mate lives in Alcabideche, he's a biker too.

HI mate, welcome to the forum.

The SV is pretty bulletproof as long as you observe basic maintenance rules.
Do keep an eye on the oil level, they don't like it being allowed to run low, and doing long wheelies has the same effect.....

There's a little drain hole on the right side of the front cylinder that drains the spark plug recess. This has been known to get blocked leading to an engine misfire when it rains. Just occasionally check it's still clear.

Remember the nuts and bolts used are not the best quality so take the time to make sure you use the right spanner, and be careful.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll enjoy riding it.

I will check it, tanks for the support!
I have to take some pictures,
but now, I take out all the plastics and fuel tank to paint, the last owner, have it with bad appearance

Hello and welcome. I have family in Lisbon they stay very near Jardim De Belem, the bakery (Pasteis De Belem) just round the corner from their house is brilliant. Very lovely bit of the area. They are so lucky.

As the others have said the bike they are generally decent little bikes.

Mini-motos (pocket bikes) the Portuguese seem to be mad for them. I'd break myself if I even tried.

I live near belem, 4km!

You'd be surprised. Lisbon is on the Atlantic coast, rains on average one day in three there, although it's not a lot and generally nice warm rain.....

I would be surprised, having spent a lot of time there. Being northern, I don't class a "light sprinkle" as rain. If it happens in the summer it must evaporate before it hits the ground.
