Stripping the bike - SV650.org

04-04-06, 09:09 AM

I have never stripped down an SV before, and I am in the process of doing it now. I have removed the tank and the air filter, but the black plastic box this is held in has no visible screws or anything, yet it is not loose. Any tips on how to remove this would be welcome as I can't continue otherwise lol.

Cheers.

There are a bunch of manuals here, though I know that on the curvy model its just held in with a clamp around the top of the rear carb.

There is one on the front carb too - I only did this last night.... Both are just about accessible through the frame...

Cheers! Now I can get on with it, I see now I've had a look at some photos

You don't need to remove the front on though as it just pops off when the rear is removed.

You'll also want to disconnect the two engine breather hoses on the left side. The hose underneath on the right is not connected to anything and is closed off anyway (what does it do?).
