YAMMIE You mentioned that the brakes aren't too great on the SV650 models. It would be cool if yall did a series or video that showed the deficits of common or popular bikes and what the alternative hardware to replace the deficits would be. I think this could be immensely popular and helpful to many many enthusiasts! Love your channel!
I have a 2002 SV650S ... the first iteration of the SV line, which had clip ons and the same aggressive style with a bikini fairing that you could buy aftermarket lowers to make it look like a sportbike ... the brakes on it are quite good if you are coming from a cruiser... only a sportbike rider used to brembos would class them as squishy... If you put braided steel lines they work quite well, and will easily "stoppie" the bike...
The sv650 brakes are perfectly good they just come with lower friction pads as standard so that newer riders don't brake too hard lose control and die, I recommend to just replace with ebc HH sintered pads and it will have significantly greater braking performance but the pads do need to warm up a bit before they will bite hard and the final point is if you are a bit heavier then you should get uprated front springs so it does not dive so much and it will become a favourite bike quite easily for most people. A final note is braided hoses make not much difference in my opinion so its a waste of money, spend that money on fuel or a more comfortable seat
I own one of these. My favorite bike of my fleet. The minor differences between this and the 650 vanilla, it does make a larger difference when riding than you might think. You talked about it being snatchy on the throttle, but that's actually the low RPM assist kicking in. The bike automatically adds engine speed to avoid stalls. You don't usually notice it if you're experienced. Learn to ride on this bike, and then when you move over to a bike that doesn't have it, and watch how often you stall...my wife is proof of that. It also allows you to start the bike in neutral with the stand down and without pulling the clutch, that seems to be getting harder to find these days. The ABS is aggressive. The breaks are actually fine. I didn't think so either until my mechanic disabled the ABS and I felt the difference. This bike is my primary commute today, and it handles that task well. I have a quick attach windscreen for longer trips, and it handles that well. First thing you gotta do though is really tighten up the clutch cable. I noticed you had difficulty finding neutral once and first as well. The clutch cable being tightened fix that all up for me. Really, the only way to find flaws with this bike is to be picky. In it's class for the price, it offers more than the competition does...except maybe the CFMoto 650NK...but good luck finding one of those in the USA.
Yammie I hope you see this. A few months ago I got the motorcycle bug and found your channel. I've watched so many of your videos and learned so much. I ended up buying a 2019 MT 07 and have been practicing in full gear ever since. Thank you for the fun and informative videos. Keep doing what you're doing!
I have 2018 SV650, bought it brand new.... now I had it for over 3 and a half years, and enjoying her more now than the day I took her home.... the only mod that I did was a Leo Vince slip on, to get that beautiful Vtwin sound.... never once had any issue with the bike, even with stock tires, and brakes that are still on the bike 😁....
I have a 2017 SV650 I bought as a commuter bike (my bike for fun and track days is a 765 Street Triple R) but after watching a RUclips video by 44 teeth channel were they prepared an SV650 for super twins racing I followed their lead and fitted a 180/55 rear tyre to my little SV, the difference is INCREDIBLE, I couldn't believe simply moving up to a bigger tyre could make such a difference, the bike is so much better in the corners and the feel is great, even braking seems to have improved, so great is the improvement that I find myself using the SV as much as the Street Triple for fun.
You DON'T want to go to 180 width rear tire. A friend of mine did that and it messed up the handling. It wasn't flickable like with 160 width tire. FYI
This makes me feel like they revived the s line with the SV650X I own a 03 SV650s and I love my bike! I am sure whoever wins this bike will love the heck out of it too! On the braking like Yam said the engine braking is aggressive if its anything like my 03! I love this "feature" a lot of time I "brake" primarily with the engine but when I got the bike I didn't have tank grips so sliding my sack into the tank wasn't ideal lol.
the 99-02 SV650's Came with clipons or risers as a choice... My 2002 SV650S has clipons and a lower fairing set to make it look like a sportbike... They changed in 2003 to Fuel injection but kept the "S" choice, or sportier option.. In 2009 the SV650 became the Gladius in the US, but was still available in Canada as the SV, and in UK and AUS they kept the "S" model choice... In 2017 they fixed their Gladius error with the SV650A dropping the "S" and now have the "X" to round out that market again.... You can always add risers to the "X" or put clipons on the "A" .... the parts are always readily available
Bought this bike 2 month ago after riding a CBR250R for 3 years. But now i‘m divorced (Yeah that stereotype...), free, and going fast everywhere my SV takes me. Love it! Best Decision ever. Cheers
I would literally sell my soul for that bad boy, just became a paid sub love the content Mr.Noob, make me proud to be a Texan wish me luck RUclips world!!!
I always thought the old SV650S bikes provided much more confidence in the twisties and felt more solid in the handling department in comparison to the Ninjas and FZ07s, I hope the new X models return to those qualities found in the older bikes.
Beautiful midsize bike. If I was riding 1 up all the time I could see myself on something like that, but ad my wife, and some luggage we really need a bigger bike (currently a '88 Katana 1100 with 114,000 km that's still pretty nice). Being a Suzuki I think that bike will be a reliable and bulletproof ride for someone though. So a bit hot down there Yammie? I woke up today, .. and for the last several days to 16 degrees Celsius (60.8 F) in Vancouver. I would have loved to take a ride to Squamish today, but it's looking like rain (again). ;)
Finally got a motorcycle (2017 ninja 300 KRT ABS edition), yesterday was my first ride EVER on a motorcycle. I live in the twisties so... ive been rippin them turns. Thx to so many tips from you, twist of the wrist n other channels i picked up riding really quickly and boi im in LOVE. There is nothing like riding a motorcycle... there rly isnt
I’m 18 and I’ve put about 100 hours of research into bikes and my hearts been set on the sv650 since like the 3rd. Gonna try and have one by next summer
That was my first bike, 2001. You'll love it. Just remember to grow into it,. It's kind of not a beginner bike, it can be if you treat it with respect. I know people who crashed theirs because they thaugh it was 'just a little 650 twin'. Awesome bike though, one of my favorite. One thing is a must, get a Yoshimura muffler for it. You'll understand why very quickly 😉
Yamm, Ryan farquhar turns those wee 650 twins into awesome race machines, guys anybody watching this should check out the isle of man tt twin races great racing excellent way to learn there race craft, TT 2021 hear we go!!!
Damn, I really wanted this as my second bike but my dad works for Honda so I got a really good deal on a cbr500r, oh well I just hope I won’t miss that extra 25hp that much.
IMO 160/165 is a great tire for this bike. A larger tire squeezed on to the narrower wheel makes it taller and oddly shaped, increases rotating mass, etc. Stick with stock size, they're cheaper, offer plenty of grip for the bike's power.
Why does it feel like, in the promo part of this video for the giveaway bikes, Yammie edited it such that his voiceover coincided almost perfectly with the audioless video xD?
I'm interested in riding in general and I own a little 125 but I actually watch these videos because they help me calm down and relax. Is it weird? I don't know.
Hi Yammie! Love the videos. Keep the good times rolling. Could you do a 600 sport bike for the next “expert” series or maybe an “intermediate series?” Also, I’m super excited to see if you’re getting a Daytona 765...
In the second get when you got the 's' model it also it meant a more aggressive seating position and clip-ons. However, Suzuki also used a shorter swing arm and longer gear on the s model for that generation.
as an owner of an sv650x, i love this bike to death but i do agree the brakes kinda suck. coming off of a ninja 600 i definitely not accustomed to the brake feel this has. otherwise a very great bike.
The 180 rear s22 changes the sv650. The tire profile is much nicer for aggressive riding. The bike tips in so fast when you match it with an s22 on the front
Heey!! Excellent rev! Since this model has clip-ons, how it worked on tight turns? I'm thinking about getting one but I'm still not sure (this would be my first bike) Would you recommend it?
This bike is litterally just the newest remake of the Suzuki sv650S that was made from 03 -09 and is the most raced motorcycle worldwide in the twin cups and over seas.. but now they turned it to a cafe racer style but kept the clip ons and seating position but ditched the full fairings and put an X instead of S
I went to my local Suzuki dealer Friday and sat one one. It was the best feeling standard to sit on of all of them. I'm a big guy (6' 250) and the SV feels the best of the 600 class naked bikes. The X has that racy handle bars and is a great in between. I loved it.I'm really hoping to win it. How great would that be for my first bike?
Man, that constant beginner bike argument.. A sv650 is 75 hp, Its not a beginner. It goes Plenty fast No matter how much you think you are Valentino Rossi and you NEED a 180hp bike. I might even Want this model, it looks cool allthough Its not LED lighting etc that Modern bikes have. Still a cool bike
Hey Yammie Long time follower and yes a GSXR lover lol currently own an o07 600 looking to convert to a pure track bike.... so my question to you is ... i have been riding the GSXR 600 from the first day they were released in Australia graduating from an AVG 250 track Bike in my younger years... could you please do a review of the 2020 GSXR 750 and 1000 and tell me what you think of them? Love my 07 600 looking to buy a new road bike I'm a ginnexer bloke through and through and have riden both the new 750 and 1000 I'm indecisive at the moment both are beautiful bikes to ride so your input would be great! I realise you are i the USA however the bike is the same wherever you live! Thanks mate
Thank you for the excellent videos that you have uploaded, I watched most of them. I’m hoping to seek your recommendations for a suitable motorcycle. I’m planning to buy one that I would like to keep it for long time, not keen for an upgrade later. I’m 49-year-old male, short person (5’4” tall), learned/used Yamaha 125cc street bike since my late teenage and had not been riding past 25 years. I’m planning to get back on motorcycle and the ride will be primarily on suburban roads (limit 60Km/h) and highways (limit 100Km/h) here in Australia. No tracks and off road rides and usually not longer than max of 1.5 hour per trip. I prefer upright (++) or even slight forward lean (+) riding positions and I like the look of sport style bike (+++), naked (++), bobber (+). Probably will ride 2 to 3 times a week. Budget is flexible. Thank you in advance.
I started on a 99 ducati st4, 916cc. My second and current bike is an 09 triumph sprint st 1050. But im considering downsizing to an sv650. Im 6ft and 140lbs. Tbh 532lbs sport tourer feels too heavy. Any thoughts?
I dont know about the US but the UK have the Hyosung gt650r which is a sports bike based off of the sv650 engine. They have the same thing with the clutch and and want to be in the higher end of the rpm too.
What’s your take in an old SV1000R as a learning platform? Friend had one given to him by a family member and I don’t know weather it was a gift or a curse?
hey yam, i ve been looking for my first bike and i found the gs500 and even though everyone love this bike no one talks about it. If you needed a video idea maybe this is one
It's a nice bike but for the additional $ over the regular sv650 don't think it's worth it.....regular sv650 much more preferred and versatile. Nice giveaway though....decals and the brown seat make it classy looking.
Yammie! The father of nooblets and squidlets alike! PLEASE PLEASE do a video talking about sport bike handle bars! Im a lost nooblet and nobody is talking about it! We noobs need your all knowing wisdom..

if I happen to win the give away, would you be sending it to India? 🤓
You forgot to mention that the X sv650 has adjustable front forks the base model doesn’t
All jokes asid yammie, within 2 days of looking for a bigger bike, i had a dream i bought a new model busa and accidentally popped a wheelie. FUCK

@@bhok1971 No I followed what they done on 44 Teeth and kept it standard, it's a tight squeeze but worked perfectly.
I bought the 2020 Base Model without ABS and I Love Her, something about the rear wheel slipping gets my heart pumping 🤣
Just got mine 3 days ago, and so far love it!
For me this is basically an unfaired SV650S. It has the same pegs as the naked but also features clip ons. I love it

Get one. I did about 6 weeks ago and never want to get off it🤙🏼👍🔥
Got the bike back in August of last year, best decision I ever made, I will say though the bike definitely taught me proper throttle control haha.

Talk about the Suzuki TL1000S and TL1000R, the true introduction of the reliable and loveable Suzuki V-twins
I had a 05 SV1000SZ. she was beautiful and I wish I still had her!
They should make the SV1000S again and just release it in America, screw euro5

Thanks for the info, alot of ppl have that pic and I didnt know where it was from and it was driving me crazy.

I'm interested in riding in general and I own a little 125 but I actually watch these videos because they help me calm down and relax. Is it weird? I don't know.
Personally, handlebars are much better for a bike like this than clip-ons. But I guess it’s nice to have the option for those who think otherwise.
got one of these in grey great bike sounds great with a black widow exhaust and i removed those mirrors for bar ends definitely worth looking at
Hi Yammie! Love the videos. Keep the good times rolling. Could you do a 600 sport bike for the next “expert” series or maybe an “intermediate series?” Also, I’m super excited to see if you’re getting a Daytona 765...
In the second get when you got the 's' model it also it meant a more aggressive seating position and clip-ons. However, Suzuki also used a shorter swing arm and longer gear on the s model for that generation.

This seems almost an exact replica of the sv650s, but without the fairings
The RE Continental GT 650 comes with clip-ons from the factory. I'd die for you to review that bike.
Dang you really give motorcycles away? Damn cool lol i dont even know to ride i just love watching these vids

I think the XSR line did a way better job at the neo-retro styling. This bike looks like a wasp wearing a saddle.
I prefer the wasp look. The XSR is kinda ugly, the tank looks too small and the radiator looks too big. The Honda CB650R is the best looking Neo-Retro
Suzuki The Best Nyalakan Nyali.. 🤗🇮🇩🇯🇵👍🙏
compression and rebound is adjustable its just oil level for compression and oil weight for rebound.
Not ideal
I have the Competition Werkes USA slipon on on mine..Sounds like a V8 muscle car
I had a Yoshimura muffler and it sounded better than bikes X3 price. This engine sounds awesome with a proper can. Have fun
The Werkes is beautiful artwork
Didn’t Kawasaki make a 650 with clip-ons? Ninja 650 KRT edition maybe?
I think I watched every sv650 video the internet has to offer
Same.

Just comes down to what style / posture you want lol. Sitting up tall, standard.. Or sitting low, with your feet stretched out ?!
I dont know about the US but the UK have the Hyosung gt650r which is a sports bike based off of the sv650 engine. They have the same thing with the clutch and and want to be in the higher end of the rpm too.
i was watching another one of yore videos and got this notification
That clutch assist is really interesting. Wonder if they are implementing that to their lower displacement bikes.
Good first bike?
What’s your take in an old SV1000R as a learning platform? Friend had one given to him by a family member and I don’t know weather it was a gift or a curse?
Can you please review Royal Enfield Continental GT 650... looks like a great bike for the money.
oh damn i'm actually early to your video for once
This bike looks the business! Love to own one
I think you can compare this bike with Royal Enfield GT 650
Yep, snatchy clutch indeed, but brilliant fun bike overall. Tomorrow I'll be taking my 01 SV650S to the track.👍
I love ❤️ it.
hey yam, i ve been looking for my first bike and i found the gs500 and even though everyone love this bike no one talks about it. If you needed a video idea maybe this is one
I had a gs500f as my first bike. Super fun. Just keep those carbs cleaned.
Hi yammie can u make a vid about conniving your parents to let you get a bike.
My korea !!! Sv650x rider ^^
Hey Yam, will you eventually be able to do these giveaways in Europe too? I really envy you American bros right now
Where did you get the doohickey that covers the brake reservoir on the handle bar? clear reservoir looks awful
It's a nice bike but for the additional $ over the regular sv650 don't think it's worth it.....regular sv650 much more preferred and versatile. Nice giveaway though....decals and the brown seat make it classy looking.
'i dont know another 650 class bike that comes with clip ons from the factory' ??? Is the CBR650R not a thing in america?
I literally say that later in the vid
Brakes can be improve by changing the master to RCS19 and the pads.
Another big difference the sv650X has adjustable front forks and 4 piston calipers
All new 2019+ sv’s base and x have this
Any idea for nice sound muffler for 2017 model?
why would I pick this one? Because I love my SV and I presume I'll love this one too when I win it
This bike is infinite drip.
Yammie! The father of nooblets and squidlets alike! PLEASE PLEASE do a video talking about sport bike handle bars! Im a lost nooblet and nobody is talking about it! We noobs need your all knowing wisdom..
not bad but i personally prefer the looks of the normal sv650 compared to the sv650x
The sv650S is the best looking
@@daydaydful i can agree on that
The yaaaaaaam!
@yammie noob can you review the new kawasaki ninja 650?
So i win nothing so i went out and bought a 2020 Honda Shadow Areo 750 for my Beginner bike ,But anyway i enjoy you Videos Keep them Flowing!!
