Not straight bolt on, no.
Adaptor plates, (that as often don't fit as do), can be used to fit Tokico four piston calipers. If your standard calipers are working properly they're good enough.

Re: Brake Upgrades for curvy sv650?
Only adaptor plates worth bothering with are ones Zoran made years ago (TWF racing), they let you fit GSXR K1-3 or SV1000 4 pots. Good calipers.
There are some other poor implementations of those plates kicking about. SV brakes aren't that bad if healthy, you already got braided lines, good pads, serviced them etc?
