Hi, New SV650S Owner
Hi Guys, I recently acquired an SV650 which is a bit on the rough side. It needs a bloody good clean, degrease and a bit of TLC in places but other than that It's a good runner with tax and test. It was restricted but thanks to a guide on here I sorted that today. Plans are to continue cleaning her up then see where we go from there! Here's a few pics.
Before  Before  Before  Before  After  Before  After  The exhaust was orange before I started

Re: Hi, New SV650S Owner
I'll get some pics of the full bike tuesday hopefully.
Quick question regarding the de-restriction: I removed the tank/airbox/lifted carbs and removed 2 'alpha' restriction washers from the inlets. Are there any other restrictions I should be aware of? Thanks. |

Re: Hi, New SV650S Owner
just the 2 washers thats it. stick them on ebay or the for sale section, even if its just for £10, cheap to post.

Re: Hi, New SV650S Owner
I think thats the only thing for the restriction on the Carb'ed bikes
New bikes are normally done via the ECU

Re: Hi, New SV650S Owner
Thanks Guys. Took it for a spin and she seems pretty swift so it certainly feels full power.
What are common mods to these bikes? |

Re: Hi, New SV650S Owner
- Braided lines
- Double bubble screen (a must tbh) - Motosliders or R&G - Exhaust - Fender extender - Rear hugger - suspension changes The suspension one is done to death have a search, but they're front end uprating (better springs through to cartridge conversions), front end swaps (to gsxr, but is coming pricey as parts are becoming scarce) , rear shock swaps or aftermarkets (from Ohlins, Penske etc..)

Re: Hi, New SV650S Owner
That was manky. Did the previous owner live on a beach?
Doesn't look like there's any corrosion though so someone must have been looking after it at some point. |

Re: Hi, New SV650S Owner
It does look well kept.
Buy a tin of ACF50 you'll never regret that £13 every year Tam can you think of anything I've missed for common mods
