Putting a clutch in an SV is a piece of piddly pie. Took about 20 mins, and that was taking my time.
Put bike on side stand undo the bolts around the clutch cover undo the 6 bolts that hold the springs remove springs and the cover that they hold in remove plates place new plates in one at a time layering with the steels that seprate them replace cover put in new springs tighten up replace clutch cover adjust clutch job done. So if your sv ever needs a clutch, do it yourself. Sorry that is all..carry on |

N00b question ahoy:
Are bike clutches wet clutches? If that is true, isn't there a load of oil everywhere that you have to deal with? |

Negatory me hearty - in the main they are of the dry sort, but some are wet.

Hmm, so who told me I could just sit there with the clutch in and it wouldn't be harming my bike?? I had an ER5, now an SV650, are either of those wet?

Having not been in either, I would be reluctant to provide a defo answer, although from Viney's descrip it would appear the SV is not a wet clutch.

The SV is a wet clutch, but the oil's mainly in the sump. I've nmever had mine otu with oil still in the engine but it seems likely that it should be fine to do it on the sidestand.
I like bikes. Cars, if you want to change a clutch, you need a crane. SVs, you undo a handful of bolts and it comes out ![]()
