Started my first riding season this past August and this bike has taught me a lot.
What a great choice to build confidence but I feel like I only had half a season lol
Looking forward to learning more next year!

I was cleaning my oil screen and found this little guy right under it, in the screen there were some bits of sharp steel and maybe aluminum. The piece itself is aluminum

The bike runs amazing, and I don't think I'm going to go looking for problems yet, but an idea of what I could be would be nice.

Thank you

Hey guys!

Could you help me identify which fairings are these?

Not too long ago I bought an SV1000S and the previous owner gave me these side fairings and belly pan, but he didn't have the mounting brackets.

This winter I want to fit them to my bike and to paint them, but first I need to install them and drill out all of the holes.

If somebody has the same fairings, could you please send me some pictures of how, you mounted them?

Thank you!

I want replacements, short brake and regular-length (folding) clutch.

I am looking at Evotech, and they specify these parts for the SV-7GX but the Trump tariff hassle plus expected carrier fee would add to the cost, and American sellers seem weirdly even more expensive than all of that.

So that got me to consider alternatives. I don't need top of the line (whatever that might be) but nor will I waste my time with Amazon parts. I briefly looked on Revzilla, because it's Revzilla.

Nothing specific shows up. They show a Puig 4.0 but I don't know about compatibility, and Puig's website doesn't even know about the SV-7GX at all.

I suppose I could cross-reference the OEM levers against OEM SV-650 levers, to gain a clue about compatibility.

Looking for a 07 to 09 clean title frame. Anybody ?

At the beginning of the season my clutch cable broke off at the barrel that hooks into the clutch lever. I had recently bought the bike and figured it broke because it was an old cable. It broke again in the same place as before so clearly I have something causing this to happen. While I am mechanically inclined and fixed the last one myself I am not knowledgeable about what could be causing it to break. I don't see anything on the lever that would cause it to bind or anything sharp that would be wearing through the cable. Any advice on what would cause this? Also any advice on which cable to buy would be great.

I broke my OG key in my OG gas tank key slot... Can't get it out. I disassembled it so I could get gas but it's really F***CKED.

Anyone have a recommend for the best replacement, ideally keyless?

It also doesn’t jump up on RPMs on a cold start. It just sits at 1200 RPMs right when you start it and then whenever you start it on cold it doesn’t jump up and then come back down to an idol of 1200.

Hi, all! I know these posts are a bit annoying but I'd appreciate a sound check on my old Gladius, fresh after an oil change.

When I bought it some years ago, it was pretty neglected. In the last years, I took care of it the best I could: doing a lot of maintenance and buying good parts. Some months ago, I checked valve clearance and everything was in spec.

As far as I can tell, it runs very smooth and it feels good when I ride it, but I could be terribly wrong 😬 No professional has really checked it in the last couple of years.

Hello all,

I felt some pretty bad notching in my steering head bearing recently and decided to replace it. I bought everything to get it out but am having trouble figuring out the best way to jack the center of the bike once the tree comes off and I can no longer use the front stand. I tried a dirt bike style stand from harbor freight but everything seems to interfere with where the exhaust runs back and so when I begin to take it off the front stand it wants to fall to the right. I have poles I can ratchet to but I dont have a ladder, and I do have a stand that indexes into the swing arm pivot but I dont think that will work either. Any suggestions that dont involve me buying more stuff?

I have a carb and throttle body assembly for a G1 SV650 that's lying around. Got it from a spares box from a track bike.

Would these be useful to anyone at all?

I doubt there's anyone local that wants it so I'm wondering if there're any takers out there that would warrant selling it or I should just throw it away.

I just finished washing my bike then I went on a ride with it and the engine stopped working. My fuse blown I switched it and now I just turn the bike on it blown

Upgraded from a GSX-S 125 to this gorgeous bike.

I'm having to be careful though, already been pulled over twice and been let off for going above the speed limit. It's so nippy and quick off the throttle. Sounds like a beauty too!

Was looking at buying an sv650s 2003 for €2000. Got a couple fairings/plastics need replacing, temperature numbers all over the place and sticking rev meter. Was wondering if anyone knew where to get fairing kits for the 2003 model seeing as it's got the tall tail. Dunno if it's any different to the rest of the generation for the kits but would like to know/ an opinion on the price.

Recently realised an oil leak on my SV 650 S it is coming from the oil cooler has anyone had any similar? I’m hoping it’s just the crush washes all the line as the whole oil cooler radiator is quite expensive

06 SV650N

Has anyone had issues with clutch cables snapping??

Seems like I go through a cable every 1-2k miles. I’ll admit I’m not great about keeping it greased but it seems like it should still last longer than that???

I suspect it may have something to do with the aftermarket lever but I usually don’t use the clutch except for downshifts, 1st to 2nd, or light city riding.
