    I’ve got two 1st gen SV650’s I will not part with. Huge aftermarket, light weight, great handling, great braking, ultra cheap to own. It is perhaps Suzuki’s greatest light sport bike ever made.

    Watched this and finally made my mind up about getting a fork brace. For a paltry 150 quid, I've got an zx6r f3 with spindly fork legs that now handles. No more delayed transition in the chicanes. Brilliant thank you👍

    Never forget Nige, to finish first, first you must finish.
    It's the mantra I drummed into my then wife's (driver) head when we were road rallying. Else she would go loopy when we caught another competitor. Treating a bend with a Devon hedge as Brooklands banking does not impress the navigator / car repairer. Good luck mate !

    So awesome content for me...actually this is my dream bike...I would never be able to buy expensive superbikes and this bike looks just so racey I love it, so far I am tracking stock sv650 naked, but in the future i am hoping to build something like this.....

  • @mindspinn311
    @mindspinn311 Před 4 lety

    I have a 2020 SV650 and I’d love to do a track day with it. But I can already tell, for as good as it is, needs a shock, fork tuning, exhaust, flash tune or PCV, tires, a better headlight, and a more comfortable seat. Doubt I’ll end up doing half of that but the SV650 is still a great platform out of the box. I like it more than the MT-07 but only just.

  • @mikerussell8588
    @mikerussell8588 Před 4 lety

    Got a stock 3rd gen SV for commuting and the occasinal weekend hoon. Great bike for the dosh! Toying with suspension upgrades but that bottom fork brace looks spot on mate. That package you have seems to have massively improved the corner entry stability. Top job.

  • @mindspinn311
    @mindspinn311 Před 4 lety +2

    So even with a tune and cams it seems to not go beyond 10k rpm redline whereas the old SV650 engine redline was at 11k and could be tuned for more. Is this because of physical changes made to the engine by Suzuki in the 2017-2020 4th gen bike or just the ecu?

    • @Al-df7np
      @Al-df7np Před 4 lety

      Ive not long had my Gen 3's ECU flashed to suit the M4 full system exhaust. Stock redline was set at 10.400RPM but we raised this by 500RPM to 10,900, nearer to the 11K of Gen 1 and 2 models. Not sure why Suzuki lowered it but my tuner guy said absolutely no harm in raising it back up. My bike makes peak power at 10K.

  • @TheCdubbleyoo
    @TheCdubbleyoo Před 3 lety

    44 down thumbs. Interesting.
    Also interesting: that stock gauge pod that many have complained about that look like it serves as a pretty tidy package behind a race fairing.

    6.00 mins in. Er, thats called a fork brace dude.
    We all fitted them on go faster bikes before USD forks were invented.
    Like last century.
    Re the 80 bhp. I'm interested.
    Has it still got bottom end ie not lost anything down low, good linear torque all over etc?
    Good package for a street bike?
    TIA, cheers.
