edanger, does the 'e' stand for 'extreme'? :shock: :lol:

Sorry, thats not too helpful is it. :roll: Surely brakes and suspension come first on the mods list?

Depends what you're doing with it really :) I'd consider it brave, with the SV's bottom end and the K3's rods, but it might work brilliantly. Never heard of anyone doing it with a decent boost though. There used to be a guy on SV Rider who had a trickle system running, but that's a lot of infrastructure and hassle for the advantage- he could've got better results by different means I reckon, for less.

Like trading in the SV for a 1000cc or a TL? :?




Sorry, don't see the point in nitrous on an SV

Think he wanted an SV with more power, not a TL or an SV thou... Also, he probably liked modding bikes, and the idea of an SV with nitrous. But by and large I agree...

The K3's rods are apprently fragile, but id go with what Nortwind said.

So just what is the furthest someone has taken a 650 engine?

northwind 05-01-07 10:34 PM

There's race bikes out there making over 100bhp... And probably not weighing very much either. But you're talking serious money and serious maintenance, to get something that's still slower than a well race-prepped R6, and o longer much like an SV. But racing has different rules from teh real world of course ;)

The magic number that always rattles around for building on a stock bottom end is 85bhp... Though that's made up ;)
