Question about sv650 on ebay - SV650.org

hindle8907 · 16-08-12, 07:39 PM

Looking on ebay for a bike for my dad, came accross this one but looking at the photos the front of the engine is silver not black seems a bit strange.
Any Ideas ?

My sk1 curvey has a silver coloured engine.
Correction it's silver underneath the dirt.

Are they supposed to be black?

I was under the impression they was black they are black on my two curvy bikes.
Unless it was a sk1 thing.

Looks like the clutch covers been swapped for a later model one and the engine has been kept really clean, or vapour blasted.

Ignore my earlier post, I'd had a closer look.

Looks like its been well looked after, unless its had a later model engine put in there, but with the carby rubbers instead of the injector manifolds

Well know fact that there is silver engines, black ones have more bhp

The main casings are black, but my barrels are silverish under the dirt

My 99 model 650n has a black engine and twin pinch bolts on the os fork bottom,while juniors sk1 had a silver engine and a single pinch bolt.
This one seems to be a mixture of both.

X and Y had the black engine (more a very dark grey really - the Y had wheels the same colour).
K1 and K2 were silver engines.
Side cases were black on all curvy models.

If you hop over to http://www.sv650.org/
and hit the FAQ, there's a section about curvy year by year changes. The black cases & silver barrels & heads were stock for a year or 2.

Clutch cover should be black though
