Some of this help, is possibly not the most helpful

I think the SV wheel is sided, ie you have to put one bearing in first, but I've never had to do one so I'm not sure. Most suzuki wheels are mind. Downloading the service manual would be a very good idea.

Why oh why did I type all of that up, probably skipping a step or 2 instead of just linking to:

And if you had graced us with whether you had a curvy or a pointy, if indeed it is an SV650, we could tell you the difference about the spacers.

Do not reuse old bearings. Knocking them out will mean they'll go in the wheel fine, but will last about 10 minutes.
