Re: Newbie but oldie! Bought a Gladius.
Did the plugs (the last one was a struggle) and a few more bits. Bike is running well.
Is this the correct battery time down strap?https://photos.app.goo.gl/fzbS9rVPgPzKTtYg9 Last edited by RS2K; 19-07-20 at 05:26 PM. |

When looking on SVRider.com ( USA ) found this link to Gladius service manual ( 584 pages ), 1st link is to SVRider thread and 2nd to manual location you can download PDF and save it on your PC - there may be some differences to USA model but probably 90% will be same in UK. https://www.svrider.com/threads/glad....134047/page-5 https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B5u2i...xport=download

Hmmmm.
Here's the ebay listing:- https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Suzuki-SFV65...53.m1438.l2649 I'll check the battery size. Thanks again SV650rules. |

Re: Newbie but oldie! Bought a Gladius.
The battery is a bit too tall. I can see this because fuel tank support rod lays down really tightly on top on the battery itself so there'd be no room for a battery cover.
I fitted some OEM brake and clutch levers - a bit improvement over the stubby things that were on the bike. https://photos.app.goo.gl/g1y7iEd9YeNFAaH59 p.s. Would anyone know the paint code for the frame? It's red. Last edited by RS2K; 24-07-20 at 04:35 PM. |

Re: Newbie but oldie! Bought a Gladius.
assuming it's a 2015 Gladius, the frame colour is YVZ (pearl mira red)
https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts...-gladius/frame (last 3 characters of part number of frame)

It's earlier - a non abs 2010 model. Your link (thanks for it) suggests the paint is AR4 Red. |

Re: Newbie but oldie! Bought a Gladius.
So I bought a 12A-BS battery (I hope that's the right size) and also that battery tie down strap thing off ebay. I'm pretty sure it'll fit.
I also ordered that Mira Red touch up paint. I've a bit of work to do in removing some surface rust and loose paint, treating the rust with Rust Remedy or similar, and then applying a bit of original red over that. When that's done I'll see what happens next - the wheels would look great powdercoated in original black, and the bar ends too maybe? |

Re: Newbie but oldie! Bought a Gladius.
