Not sure what it's like on the SV, but on my CBR it's easiest to remove the rear caliper first and get it out of the way, and then when the axle's out, push the wheel forward slightly so you can unhook the chain from the rear sprocket and drape it to the side, over the swingarm. Then the wheel should just roll out. I'm assuming you have it on a paddock stand of course!
Oh and refitting is usually the more awkward bit, as you have to raise the wheel up a bit to meet the hole in the swingarm for the axle. I usually sit on the ground and put my feet underneath the wheel so I can move it upwards a little bit, and use my hands to align it and slide the axle through the swingarm/wheel. i can usually get the chain to hook back on with the wheel back in position, which sounds contrary to what I said above about rolling it forward first when removing! But if not I guess you could use the adjusters to slacken the chain until it fits over the sprocket... |

What are you going to do when you have the wheel off?

Sounds like you might just be better off riding to a garage and getting them to do it. Any decent place will remove the tyre and inspect it before putting it back on for a trivial sum (or for free if you use them for other stuff).
In any event, taking the wheel out isn't the first step! Check the tyre all around for any holes or embedded items, pour soapy water on it to spot any leaks, check the valve too. |

its pretty straight forward once its up, undo the large bolt on the sprocket side, and tap the axle out, once youve done that the caliper will swing down out the way, move the wheel forward towards the bike, to get the chain off, and bobs your uncle,
make sure you have the bike supported in someway |

At the advice of OH i was just gonna take it to the nearest bike dealer and let them sort it. I cant ride it down cos i dont have a license yet and he hasnt got time to take it for me.
Ive checked it over and theres nothing obviously wrong. |

First you need to loosen the bolt that holds the rear brake assembly to the swing arm via the support bar (it is up near the back of the engine, below the swing arm) Then you need to undo all the tension on the chain by undoing the chain tensioners at the back of the swing arm on both sides. Next is to undo the wheel spindle bolt and slide the spindle out, as you are doing this try to catch the brake caliper as it will fall out, also, try to catch the two spacers if they try to fall out too. Then roll the wheel forward, remove the chain from the rear sprocket and move the rear wheel back out making sure you either hold the rear brake assembly out of the way or manouver the wheel around it. Good luck |

But, if it is going down the best option is to change the tyre |
