Suzuki SV650 Riders Forum

I like motorcycles.

While on one of these forums I came across an ad for a remote Tyre (tire) Pressure Monitoring System an a very reasonable price, has any of you (y'all) fitted one of these and can give pros and cons.

I’m pretty sure oil is leaking from at least one of the valve seals on the rear cylinder. I think it’s coming from the exhaust side as when I stick a camera down the throttlebody intake I can’t see anything leaking. I’m just wondering if anybody has done this without having to takeoff the cylinder head? I think I can build a jig cutting up and welding together parts of a harbor freight C clamp and bolting it into the threads that the cam bearing retainer thingy(sorry I can’t remember the... Is it possible to replace valve oil seals without taking off the cylinder head?

I'm planning on doing a cam swap on my 1st gen track bike this winter. My understanding is that the Gladius cams have a slightly larger base circle and I will be changing shims to accommodate that even if all the clearances are OK before the swap. So, where do people get their shims? In years past it was possible to get individual shims if needed from a dealer. I haven't checked yet, but is this still common? Any other choices? Source for a shim kit to have them all at once? Thanks, Mark

Sup guys! I bought a 2019 sv650 and the previous owner had some not so tasteful mods done to it, so I’m in the process of fixing that stuff. blinkers have been replaced (properly) but the headlight is this weird street fighter style that I’m not a fan of, it’s got some other things I will be working on as well. Anyway it has this triple stacked led light bar thing on it, and I want to swap it back to the round 7” style, but with a nice led assembly, problem is, I have to figure out what... My first post here, I might need some guidance with my headlight.

recently when I used my bike I parked it for some time and when I try to start the bike it wont start. The Engine light is on and blinking, Fi is also showing, and when I start the bike it just clicks. it wont crank the engine. what should I consider When I encounter this type of error? Do I clean it. where is it located? I heard this error code is common for this bikes. Edit: Luckily when I try to start it, it started but it still pops up engine light and Fi. I also found that the bike is... C12 error dealer mode (3rd gen)

Can someone help me out with this before I screw somrething up? I'm swapping out my stock brake hoses for SS lines. There is a short hose that runs from the master cylinder down to the frame, where it connects to an ABS hard line. I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove this. There is a 10 mm hex head on the ABS side, and a 17 mm hex on the brake hose side. There is also a rubber collar that gets clipped down to secure the hose against the frame. So I removed that clip for... Front Brake Hose Removal (ABS Bikes)

Hello and thank you for letting me join the forum. I live in the UK and am a former owner of an SV650. Please may I ask for your help? I am helping out a friend who has recently lost his brother. Amongst his brother’s estate is a garage full of bikes which I am helping my friend get back on the road and sold. One of these bikes is an SV400 - yes, you read that right, a 400. It was a grey import to the UK. We have got it going and through the UK’s MOT (road worthiness) test. In the UK... Hi and a request for price advice - SV400
