SV650/SV650S, what's the difference?

The fork air gap is different

your preload setting should be ajusted to rider specific, so the ground clearance isnt just down to the preload settings

Given the choice of riding a naked SV or watching naked tarts fighting in Jelly, I know what I would choose.


Hope that helps!

Someone told me that the S and the N also had a differing fork rake which would stop the N yoke fitting an S. Mine fitted lovely.

The N is more comfortable due to the higher bars, lower pegs and more upright position, which is why I did a bar swap. Making a Naked bar fit an S was a slight pain though.

No, the peg triangles are different. That one click of preload makes next to no difference.

Swingarm on curvy N is 10mm longer for some reason. It has an extra 2 links in chain than S.

The naked bike has one tooth more on the rear sprocket, swing arms seem to be the same part number.
