all depends on what frame you have,
i dont have an SV so an unable to give a proper answer with that one.
, but i dont see why you cant polish the scratches out, try autosol - its brilliant.
battery is probably kept under the riders seat or behind a left or right fairing panel, but seeing as you probably dont have one of those - id go with it being under the riders seat.
you could always try bump starting it, put it in second gear, hold the clutch in and push it forward, when you got it going pretty fast, jump on the bike and slowly release the clutch to fire up the engine,
its easier if you get someone to push it for you while your sitting on the bike - then all you gotta do is keep your revs up for a bit and take it for a spin.
lubing - most will say - get a scottoiler or a rear wheel paddock stand, as you will use it quite a bit, but you could always put it on its side stand, lube the chain, push it forward and lube the rest, keep going til the jobs done.
sorry i cant help more - but i dont have an SV,
