difference between models..sy,, sx,,, bla bla
 

hi
on the verge of my first proper bike....am looking at a 2000 sv650 sy...

what does the y mean..me mate has an sx and the one im looking a is sy...

any help appreciated..

cheers

The x and y indicate year of manufacture - IIRC, X is 1999 and Y is 2000, it then went K1 for 2001, K2 for 2002 etc.

Mostly the differences in years were minor or colour schemes only. Someone with a Haynes manual will be able to check the X/Y differences if you ask nicely;) ! I have only got a Haynes for my CBR....

Welcome to the site by the way, I suppose I'd better say welcome to the madhouse too (there should be a smiley for that)

And the S refers to wether it's got the half fairing (the bodywork bit, like the bikes at the top right of the page) or not. Also known as bikini fairing.

Sport model from this & last year, and many who have aftermodel bits have full fairing.

SV's a great 1st bike, it's mine (proper bike any way) & I love it.

Welcome.

as above:-|
x.........y........... is just the year of the bike the s means it has fairings as opose to a naked

the colours changed a bit........if you google it you can get info on all the years & spec & colours, i cant remember where.......i think MCN have all the info.........have you looked in the for sale section on here:smt081

Difference between K1 and K2 is that K2 has adjustable front suspension. My K1 was first registered in June 03. So I got the best of all worlds really: Naked metal black and silver frame curvy in mint condition :riding: John

cheers fellas:)

here you go.
