More power to SV650?
 

I'm having the older SV and I love the bike but... I think it needs bit more horsepowers so any suggestions ? I've heard about big bore kits are they worth money and are they reliable ?:smt104

Re: More power to SV650
 

cheapest way to increase your power.

Trade it in for a GSXR 750

for what it costs to reliably upgrade the SV lump. An all round superior bike would work out the most economical upgrade.

Re: More power to SV650
 

How much power do you want and how much money have you got?

Re: More power to SV650
 

Firstly, how doo

Secondly as above

Thirdly

How old is the bike?
How many miles?

The quickest and easiest way to get gains is:
- New air filter: BMC race filter or similar
- Good service and throttle body/ carb balance
- Everything adjusted and moving properly (Chains, cables etc)

If you are still going after more power, cam works like reversing the intake and exhaust cams or a set of kents and a set of 35mm minkuni flatsides (don't anyone has had any massive success with flatsides)*



*Do you research on these before diving in

I've heard about performance cam or crank shafts... That's about all I can offer

There's always the obvious but expensive roots of

Full race exhaust system,
Higher flow rate Air filter
Power Commander (injection models only I believe)
Bore out to 700/750 cc
Gas Flowing


These are all just terms I've heard and thought should get thrown in to the mix. I know absolutely feck all about the nitty gritty details.:-D

Re: More power to SV650
 

You mean 39mm flatslides I presume.

People who really know their stuff, like TWF, have massive success with them.

Re: More power to SV650
 

buy a TL or an SV1000

Re: More power to SV650
 

Thats the one YC.

I'm guessing you've not tried the flatslides yet?

Re: More power to SV650
 

Not on SV, they are mental on FZR1000 though.

Aren't TL's just a suicide trip on wheels?
