Default Well that was easy!

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?

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
