Ok, so here we are back again from the other threads i started on fixing a very unwell sv650s k3.
http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=156046 http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=156338 so, jack under the engine ![]() ... and worked my way through the official sv manual & the haynes taking out the bolts in the right order.. the bolts were easy enough. it was the spacers that were the cause of much head scratching.. ![]() in particular these two first... ![]() and this one as well.... ![]() ![]() I dont know if i was blind but as far as i could tell the manuals tell you how to remove the bolts and the spacer nuts but don't mention anwhere that you unscrew the hex headed spacers out of the frame and at the same time play a great game of balance the engine as it drops! Going back a few steps... ![]() This one was of no particular fun as that is the last bolt you have to remove as it lets the engine pivot away when dropping it so the rear cylinder exhaust pipe doesnt drop on the swingarm and damage it. The problem? - the special castle type socket i bought off ebay to take the locknut off isnt deep enough to reach it due to the bolt head ![]() So i ended up using a big flatheaded screwdriver and a hammer to loosen it off, luckily it worked! Engine dropped pretty easily, took two of us to as the jack got in the way so we had to lift the engine up & kick the jack out of the way to ease it down. ![]() as you can see a nice empty space! All the engine bolts nuts etc. bagged and tagged ![]() And heres the end result..... ![]() So, next up i think will be the chance to clean the parts of the bike that are hard to reach normally, especially around the swingarm. It's game on as far as the winter project goes - now i can spend time stripping the engine to get at the gearbox and repair it ![]()

Excellent, im looking at dropping the engine out of mine over winter and gettin roung everywhere and cleaning, and generally lubing stuff that needs lubing, check stuff that needs checking, tightening stuff that needs tightening, etc. More or less going through the Haynes manual and just giving the bike a damn good going over.

I sh*t out of doing the middle bolt, i kinda thought it would be better keeping the middle bolt in but wasnt sure if it was that central with the weight of the engine plus doing what the manual said made sense at it allowed the engine to lean forward, if i had crushed the rear pipe on the swing arm im sure the bank balance would hate it!

So, after do a cleanup as above i was ready to remove the clutch cover - wasnt too bad. it took a bit of 'gentle persuasion' to get the thing off! (it was getting stuck on the dowels and the gasket was holding it on more than i expected. ![]() And here is how it looks... ![]() Noting what sequence the washers go on on this... ![]() Clutch out, looked fine, no broken plates - i will check the measurements for tolerances... ![]() Ok, so this is where i got to today (i know im taking my time!) I also loosened the bolts on the starter motor and the cam covers ready for the next stage. Does anyone know what size for a socket the clutch nut is? - i looked in the haynes & official manuals but no sizes are in it (a rough measurement says around 26mm. And what methods you have used to hold the clutch cage to allow you to loosen the nut? - i'm scared of damaging it. Plus any advice on the way to clean the residue gasket off the clutch cover carefully? Thanks in advance ![]()

So have a look at the pix of clutch basket here
How does yours compare? I know its pointy and mine isn't but I've just discovered that even with a relatively small amount of wear it can cause dragging... if new plates are going in it may be worth be giving the basket a make over... |
