Have a look at this: http://www.sv650.org/SV_service_manu...aintenance.zip

With the milage you do however, it's worth learning how to do it yourself.

Top of the list has to be:

DON'T TAKE IT TO KEN ROBERTS!!!!

Hiya all,


Bugga, I've just noticed that I've had the Bluw Cow on the trip meter rather than the ODO. :shock:
Then I noticed that she's actually done 3900 miles give or take a few miles. Now I know that taking it to that nob head Ken Roberts is not on the list, however, I have managed to get it booked in for the 4K service in Cardiff dealer, buuuut not until 25th of this month :shock: by this time the Blue Cow will have approx 6K on her.
Will it last, or do I give her an oil change before then?
Should I wait, and will she be OK until then??

Cheers all,

Dealer said to me a max of 5k, so 6k is pushing things. However if you're doing a lot of long distance easy going stuff the oil could well be cleaner at 6k than mine at 4k with all my stop start city stuff and using the bike 3-4 times a day....

At that rate mate, you will be closer to your 7.5K interval. I did my own 4K service.. wasnt in the mood to pay £150+ odd quid for someone to sit there and watch the oil drain out.

Changed the oil, did the TPS mod at the time, so the engine had a good looking over by myself, no bits in the oil, so left the filter there, and generaly have a good look over the bike, tighten stuff up etc. took out air filter, gave the box a wiping down, filter part looked clean. Top up with oil, start up, check levels, top up as required. Check water levels.. jobs a good'n

Saved that money, and got myself a new back wheel some weeks later.

Im not interested in getting the suzuki stamp if I dont 100% have to, Im getting the 7.5K service done local, as that involves changing the plugs.. and try as I might, I cannot get the cap off the No1 cylinder on my bike!

Would do it myself, but would like someone trained to do the job have a look once in a while :)

Will be changing my own pads etc in future. Think its good for me to learn all this stuff anyway.. saves me a small fortune, and I like doing it anyway
