HEL Performance Systems need your help

Apologies for contacting you in this way but I wondered if your forum may be able to help us out !!!!

We seem to have troubles with some SV650 specs we have - only for the rear lines on the bikes strangely !!!

Do you think you / your members could help us out and give us some info to help us with the kits we produce please ?

I could just do with knowing :

1 Which SV650 models had three lines on the front WITH a splitter under the headlamp (ie three separate hoses on the front)

2 Rear hose lengths

We have hassles with the rears and have the info as follows :

Suzuki
SV650 N X-K2 600mm Centre To Centre Of Banjos
SV650 S X-K2 600mm Centre To Centre Of Banjos
SV650 N K3-K8 550mm Centre To Centre Of Banjos
SV650 S K3-K5 410mm Centre To Centre Of Banjos
SV650 S K6-K8 350mm Centre To Centre Of Banjos


If you could help in any way it would be very much appreciated as we have had problems in the past on this one - ANY member who has had a hose sent wrongly by us can return it for a replacement.

I'm fairly certain that only mk1 curvy's have the splitter under the bottom yoke. I think all mk2 pointy's have single hose that splits into 3 on the r/h fork leg. I know in effect that it's still a splitter, but you can't actually disconnect the hoses.

I shall measure my rear hose meantime.

i even offered to send the OEM pipes down to them but never got replies from emails.. this was after the second attempt.. and now they want sizes from the org.. well sorry they can get stuffed as far as i'm concerned...

Interesting! They are aware there is a problem then. I had trouble with a rear line I got earlier this year which was miles too long

they took their time! the SV has been around for a while

Better late than never... I'm sure they get hundreds of emails a day..

Hassles with the rears? They have enough with the fronts too!

All curvys have splitter under headlight.

Oh wonderful. I just ordered a full set of HEL lines on e-bay. Gave them my model and year......hope that they send the correct lenghts. I did have some hesitation about ordering out of the USA. Hope my lines are correct when they get here.

For HEL's infomation the K6 Naked bike has the three lines and splitter on the front. My rear line is about 14 and 1/4 inches center of banjo to center of banjo. I calculate that to be 36 cm give a little.

I ordered HEL lines of ebay for my K3S and they fit fine although all the lines are a bit longer than OEM.
