Engine Replacment - 2000 SV650 SY

(Takes me about an hour to swap lumps, I even drop the engine out for other maintenance as it's so easy),

Is this man some sort of god?!

have one a couple from 99 bikes, both around £495

Any other places I could try nearer to home?

If you can wait another 4 - 6 weeks I will have a 2001 engine available and also a 2003 engine for sale.

The 2003 can be made to work with carbs and you get all the benefits of the new cams and oil cooler as well.

only took about 40 year of greasy fingernails. 30 year riding bikes daily, a basic love of engines, an understanding wife (or she likes to get rid of me ), and access to the right tools.

Once a job, now just a hobby.( just own a Norton Commando for a few years, no choice ).

Cheers Mark.

Rictus: I live about 10 miles SW of Milton Keynes. The engines have 12,000 and 14,000 miles (roughly)

To be honest, I'm in no mood to do the work this side of christmas.
Erm, actually her indoors made loud comments like "maybe you should use the car for the winter" etc. As everytime it snows I end up picking the bike off the road!
