durability on the sv 650 motor
Planning on getting an sv650 was wondering how long the motors usually last before total teardown

Re: durability on the sv 650 motor
My '02 has over 23,500 miles and so far so good. Besides they're cheap, sorry "inexpensive" bikes in the first place so if mine goes before I move on to a grown up bike I'll just send it out to pasture or just break it.

We sold our first curvy with over 47,000 miles on the clock and it was still going like a train. It hadn't had an easy life either:D

Re: durability on the sv 650 motor
Ive heard of 150,000 miles on them with some tlc.
My k5 is on just over 21,000 at the moment and it hasnt gone wrong at all. |

They go well. Provided you put oil in them...

Re: durability on the sv 650 motor
oooh ouch ... that hurt :(
mine is currently "off road" due to me forgetting to put any oil in :oops: V. EXPENSIVE LESSON ... oil < £20 (and takes oooh wot? 2 minutes!) ... engine rebuild = £750 (approximately) and they'll have had the bike 2 MONTHS come Thursday :( Otherwise, nothing else wrong with my SV (except for a few replaced parts due to offs :oops:) |

Though I find its cheaper to replace the engine rather than rebuild it. But I do have to say 2 months is some time to take. |
Re: durability on the sv 650 motor
Oh, about 20 miles if you rag it to the redline from new
Otherwise, forever. Its a suzuki, their engines are bullet proof! Matt |
