By far the best RUclips channel about Suzuki SV650, thanks for your time and effort in making these videos.
Thanks means a lot! Trying to grow the channel by focusing on modding the SV then getting a second bike to do adventures with and mod along the way. So the SV is not going anywhere but there’s more to come then just SV650 content I can promise you that!
The best channel for Sv650 for sure, thanks man. ride safe & have fun
Facts !!! Subscribed already so when I get my bike I can already be in the loop !
No kidding you've never been down. If you had, you'd have different gear on! I mean can you even talk about the value of frame sliders while wearing street shoes and dirt bike gloves? I'd rather protect my body, but I'm weird that way! lol
Agreed. Armored jacket, full face helmet, gloves, boots, and riding jeans (hip and knee pads on back order sadly). Never leave home without all my gear. That’s the deal with the wife.
Also the frame sliders may help to avoid getting your legs caught under your bike if you fall. That can prevent serious damage to your legs and feet. One friend fell and got caught with a bike with no sliders and took more than 6 months to heal his legs. He says that with sliders the damage would have been less serious.
I got some Puig sliders installed on my 2018 sv, doesn't look as good as your barracuda tough.
Hmm never thought of that good point!
Great bike. I've a 2007 model and I still love it. I changed exhaust, mirrors, windshield, front fork springs and brake hoses.
I hope to keep mine for a while, so it’s nice to know lots of old SV are still out. Makes me confident that mine will last if I take care of it
@@SmokinMonkeyOG Sure it will do. The v-twin engine is one of the best and most reliable twin engines ever made. Of course you have to do some important mods because the bike is not expensive. I'm going to make a video of my bike in the next days and I will show you. I will do also a video on the street as soon as possible (unfortunately in Italy we must stay at home now...)
I like riding a quiet bike on Saturdays for 30 to 50 miles, and a louder bike on Sundays for 30 miles. I leave the back lights stock for more visibility, so I am less likely to get hit from behind, especially if I go on and off the brakes a few times so the back brake light blinks on and off. My favorite mods are a thicker, more comfortable seat since my legs are long enough, and adding an extra 3 inches for the windshield height for less helmet buffeting at 75 mph. My third mod was Pirelli Angel GT 2 tires for street riding.
Actually these are my 1st 3 aswell. Also aux lights and luggage boxes too. These makes more sense...
I've got an Akrapovic slip on, Cogent custom setup rear shock and spring, Vagabond fender eliminator, the Suzuki frame slider kit which looks much better then many of the aftermarket ones. Spools, and swapped the shiny stock levers for the blacked out stock levers. Aside from the rear shock to support my size, BY FAR the very best upgrades I've made to the bike are switching tires so I am on a 170 rear instead of the stock 160. Absolutely transforms the bike, cannot overstate that enough. And I added the Spears Racing shorten shift linkage and what a difference it made. Now I can get the shift lever exactly where I want, and the travel is now what I would call normal having since ridden other bikes. Feels like it should have been this way from the factory. Best $70 and 10 min install you can get.
First was the Akrapovic than better tires, handlebar mirrors and the thing I can't live without : a quickshifter 🙂
Just found your channel. I had a 2003 ‘Pointy’ SV650S back in the day. I now have a VStrom 1000, but it’s not getting used anywhere near as much as it should be, so I am contemplating swapping it out for a 2020 SV650 (probably matt black & red?) Couldn’t agree more on the end can, fender eliminator. Perhaps R&G crash protection too?! The SV is a great bike & the 2019 with the improved 4-pot calipers. The brakes are now awesome 👌🏻👍🏻 I’m now a subscriber for the UK 🇬🇧
Those are some nice bikes man! I love the black and red on the SV650 I was looking for one when I was buying mine but couldn’t get my hands on one. Good luck on the next bike! Ride safe!
I found a very nice LED conversion kit for my 2nd gen Sv650 and it makes riding at night so much better. It's about $50 or so most places
I have an LED bulb installed. I have a whole comparison side by side video on my channel if you wana check it out
Smokin Monkey I need that link! Lol
www.amazon.com/AUXITO-Motorcycle-Headlight-Conversion-Specially/dp/B07T4H4FR3
bodis exhaust is by far the best sounding for the sv, and do your turn signals, buy some kellermans
done a bit of work on the sv and my first 3 mods:
1 front brake calipers upgraded and master cylinder
2 heavier springs front suspension
3 delkevic shorty carbon exhaust
a few other mods
How does the suspension handle?
@@SmokinMonkeyOG gday. it was my ex girlfriends bike. purchased sonic springs .08(or .8) and 10weight oil. bike was set up for aggressive female
rider(street not track) weight full riding gear 78kg.
it felt great!! way less dive, more progression, smoother, just great. 👍 with the front caliper brake adaptors, 2nd hand cbr954 calipers and master cylinder, the front end was superb. highly recommend
Mine is 2017 as well but matte black. I bought the scrambler kit from sw-motech. I’ll never part with it, ever. I love it
My 2017 SV650A mods so far:
1) Vagabond fender eliminator. Makes the bike look better, IMO, just as you described.
2) Scorpion Serket Taper slipon. Looked great. Had it on for a year and a half but put the stock muffler back on. The sound was ok, but to my ear, it was not that much different from the stock sound, just a little louder at low RPMs. I think the Yosh carbon (not the Yosh stainless steel) sounds much better than my Scorpion. Also, regardless of whether the baffle was in or out, the Scorpion seemed to make the bike hesitate, misfire, or run rough at low RPMs, particularly when decelerating. Does the Yosh do that? Lastly, I kind of like the fact that the stock pipe is quiet at low RPMs when I'm just puttering around and louder at high RPMs when I'm cranking the throttle. If I do get another slipon, it will be your Yosh carbon. For now, I'll ride stock.
3) G2 Ergonomics throttle tamer. For me, the best mod for this bike by far. This replacement throttle tube practically eliminates the snatchy, jerky throttle and makes the bike easier to control at low speeds and around slow corners. I was shocked at the improvement. I was about to get a Power Commander or Bazzaz but tried this first. I'm glad I did. Installation was easy and it only cost $70, US.
Hmm never actually heard the scorpion in person to be honest but the yoshi is louder at all rpm and has a deep grumble when at idle. I have had a bit of hesitation and slow throttle response when I first put the pipe on but after around 500km it’s running great. No problem in low rpm or anything. It runs as it should, doesn’t backfire or pop much on downshifts but I’m guessing that’s because of the catalytic converter which I plan to get the cat delete pipe to solve this in the future since we don’t need to emissions test motorcycles here in Canada. Good luck on getting the exhaust you want! Ride safe man!
Mississauga! Found your channel while looking for a SV650 after owning a 370z
Yea man! Lol definitely recommend the SV650 but the 370z sounds mint! Always loved the Nissan Z cars especially the 370
Gfuftu4ghguhfuhcguhujhujguhfygrrtgfggffgbyhu
I went with the Scorpion Serket Taper slip-on in titanium for my 2018 SV650. I initially wanted the carbon fiber but didn’t like the way the fiber was laid. Love the titanium, since even though it’s not black, is very business-like and not shiny like stainless. It’s built well and fits great. Another plus is it will never need repacking. It has two separate baffles so it’s highly tunable for sound. It sounds great, not too loud.
That’s a nice option I like the look of those as well! Ride safe man
I did Yoshimura carbon exhaust first, tail tidy fender eliminator kit second and bar end mirrors third!! Fourth may be a rear wheel hugger since the fender eliminator cleaned up the rear really nice!!
I wana get a carbon tire hugger if I can find one
Frame sliders are an excellent #1 mod. 👍
BEST Channel for sv 650, thanks from Spain man
Glad I could help! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
As always, top advice from a top man 👍
Thanks man! Appreciate the support
You sound like Jimi Hendrix when you laugh. No kidding. Same laugh.
Lol 😂 never heard him laugh but I’ll take your word for it
Sorry you live in Ontario. Not much to ride there, plus living in Canada. Ugh. I left 28 years ago. If you want some great Twisties head to Western PA.
M4 still offers a full system where you can get rid of those restrictive headers. Then get an ECU flash to remove all the factory garbage holding it back.
or power commander autotune kit
@@Johnnyreengo Not worth the money. ECU flash changes things the PC can never touch.
Frame sliders can make your bike flip if it ever drops while riding. Then, your bike gets completely totaled instead of partial.
Just bought a brand new one. Love those stripes. Heading to the vinyl wrapper. Where can I get that seat cowl?
try to keep your distance when behind a bus. it will not see you when driving back
1) exact same Yoshi Alpha (carbon) 2) Evotech Performance frame sliders and 3) a JW Speaker/Motodemic LED headlight. No fender eliminator yet (not sure if I ever will). 2018 SV650. Mine is blue and white but the other color options that’s blue and white lol. Love ‘em!
Sounds like a nice build. I hate the fender on the back though lol I took mine off 30 min after leaving the dealership
I just add fender extensions on all my bikes keeps everything cleaner
subbed, great channel.. UK rider here recently passed..got myself a 2000 xj600 and its tired..went for a browse in the local bike shop yesterday and they have an ex demo 2019 SV650 in the Silver (dark metallic grey) with a red frame and wheels, with less that 300 miles on the clock..200 of those miles done by the guys in the shop riding to a suzuki conference.. PCP deal they offered me was about the same as I pay for my iphone...tempted isn;t the word..only thing putting me off is that the season here is coming to an end so not sure how much im gonna be riding over the winter here..should I just wait and but next spring or take the plunge? this is how I found your channel
Hey man thanks! I actually did the same thing as you, I looked for a bike at the end of the season (for both bikes I’ve purchased new) and put a deposit down on it in January. I figured nobody is going to buy the bike before me since it’s end of season and they usually have great incentives on the old bikes they have left from the previous year. I actually purchased my SV650 from the dealer just as they picked it to be a demo bike. So I got the discount for buying the demo but it was never even used once. 2km on the odometer when I picked it up. Good luck on getting yours! Just watch to make sure nobody buys it before you. I don’t know how fast they sell where you live.
Nice bike! I’ve had an 08 naked w the upright bars, currently have a 07 w clip ons and am going to buy an aftermarket top triple to convert…. Believing exhaust = people will not cut you off or turn into is a problem. Assume very person driving is blind deaf and dumb… You’ll live longer… been riding for 30+ years w. A pipe on most of my bikes. Almost been hit more times than I can count… I only have 20 fingers and toes….
Good job long live Ontario motorcycling
You should make a list on the thing you put on your bike and where to get them. Like the video though
There a list on older videos in the description but I don’t know if I still have it myself
Ha! I always add extra cases to carry shit around with. First mod, every time.
I so hate riding in Mississauga, drivers are just awful to bikes there. Good advice on the sv
Haha I agree people are crazy out here
my Odin gloves ripped right off
Hi Smokin Monkey, thanks for your videos on the SV 650. I just bought mine (expected delivery next week) and I've been watching your videos for several months now. Question I have for you regarding MODS is what about a shield/protection for the carter/oil filter? Thanks and good ridings.
Thanks! I’ve seen full skid plates that cover everything but I don’t personally want one to be honest. Unless you are driving n really bad roads or plan to off-road the bike I wouldn’t worry about it.
@@SmokinMonkeyOG Many thanks for the reply! Keep up the good work. Safe rides.
I bought an SV with a screen already fitted. It's a Givi half screen mounted on the 'tree'.It looks ok but the bike gets buffeted like crazy following traffic. Any idea's ?
Some wind screens don’t stay put when at speed not sure what you can really do about it since I don’t run a Givi anymore and just use the meter visor
The first things I did: Change the clutch/brake levers so I can use them more effectively (also rotated them down a bit inline with my knuckles). Adjust the shift knob and rear brake because it was high as fuck. Replace the pads to sintered ones and grease the floating pins, now the rear wheel can come up under braking. Edit, I forgot, I also did suspension preload really quickly. That rear had to be set on 4 out of 7 or something. Soft as fuck. Same with dampening in the front. Needed more. Edit again, another think I got was spools so I could lift the rear wheel and do maintenance. That helped a ton. It's how I store the bike.
Awesome video 👍
Right the bike looks a lot better and thanks for the info.
Thanks man!
Could you please provide us with a link to the frame sliders? I am not able to find anywhere Shogun Frame Sliders for 2017+ SV
It’s the first link when you type ‘shogun frame sliders sv650’ into google
www.baysideperformance.ca/17-23-suzuki-sv650-shogun-no-cut-frame-sliders
@@SmokinMonkeyOG thank you, I am in EU so maybe Google suggests different things for me though. Unfortunately they do not ship internationally.
Thanks, ride safe!
Sorry but i have a request 😂 your turn indicators are hiddeous, this is definitly one of the first thing to change, put some LED ones, they are way way more beautiful and way more visible by other drivers around you...
Personally I’ve seen the thin led ones and it doesn’t look that much better to me 🤷♂️ maybe it’s just me but I don’t see myself changing them yet. They don’t bother me at all lol would rather put that money into a decat pipe but I’ll see maybe I can pick some up cheap
@@SmokinMonkeyOG hahaha it's funny cuz it makes a huge difference for me 😂 guess all tastes are in the nature ^^beside that i couldn't agree more with you, the exhaust is the first thing to change !
Thanks for the video man. How about the seat, is it custom made or from aftermarket supplier? Thanks
It’s original Suzuki, it’s from the SV650X. I got it online from Suzukis website
@@SmokinMonkeyOG awesome thanks for letting me know
If you want to reduce splashing after removing the rear fender Puig makes a rear fender hugger for the bike. I wish it went a little further over the rear tire but it does help reduce the mess while looking sporty. I have the same exhaust, same sliders, and switched to bar end mirrors. Another thing I did was wrap the exhaust up to the cat and seal it with DEI black high temp silicone spray.
Nice mod list man lol I’ve been looking at the rear tire hugger myself might just pick one up. Also thought about wrapping the exhaust but I like the look right now so might leave it. Who knows lol Ride safe out there!
You should list your mods and what type (like frame sliders, side mirrors, etc..) in the comments
I did for the longest time but got annoyed doing it every time. It’s in my older videos. Plus I have a video on every mod I’ve done
one remark, if you have a new bike its best to do this mod (the sliders) at the dealer's. You may lose warranty or insurance in case something goes down and they establish who installed this part - its stupid simple but it gives arguments to elaborate on.
You could say that about adding air pressure to your tire yourself….. the sliders have nothing to do with safety so not sure why insurance would come into play here. As for warranty, any dealer can tell you they’re not gonna honour warranty for any reason they like it all depends on who you’re dealing with. Definitely never heard of this and I don’t agree
@@SmokinMonkeyOG Where did I say the word safety? Read with uderstanding - I am talking about the dealer's / insurance company field of discussion once a problem with the bike appears, possibly involving anything incorporating engine or chassis mechanics, that may be elaborated on the owner's unjustified intervention in the the bike during the guaranty period. The sliders / crashbars are, in this case, fastened by the bolt on which the engine block is suspended. This is not about your own assumption but the info from the dealer that I got. Besides, any time anything goes wrong you get asked if you were professionally entitled to perform any service actions or installation of add. parts in crucial areas (in this case engine support) not being an authorised brand garage....tell them the same crap you did in the comment:) Cheers...
Sounds like you’re scared of voiding warranty to the point that you don’t enjoy your bike…. That’s sad
@@SmokinMonkeyOG sounds like I'm realistic and like my money right in my pocket, so I can spend it on a better helmet or jacket instead, rather this direction I'd say:) But hey, this approach might sort you out a solid life philosophy though if counts for enjoying once's bike for you. Yet I rather tighten this little bolt myself once the warranty period is done...
Sir where can you order the meter visor .
Got mine from Suzuki.ca. I’m sure you can get one on eBay also if you don’t find one on the Suzuki website
Do you possibly have a part number for your speedometer/tachometer?
That the one that comes from the factory so no I don’t sorry. Call the dealer they should have the part number
Good video! How did you buy the frame sliders? It's difficult to find them for the SV 650 in Argentina!
Thanks man! It’s hard to find them here as well they are always sold out! I just kept checking the different websites frequently to see if they had them in stock again. Good luck man!
Any recommendations for an exhaust that will shave weight but not be obnoxiously loud? Thanks!
I don’t have much experience with other exhausts on this bike since I don’t know any riders that have one and I only owned the yoshimura so far. It’s not too loud but I’ve never actually put the silencer in to see how quiet it could be.
@@SmokinMonkeyOG Thanks for the reply!
What brand are your mirrors? Where did you get them? Mine replace the bar ends and now I get a lot of vibration in my hands. Throttle hand starts going numb in 10 mins or less usually. Didn't do it before. I know that's what happens but they look good, lol. Yours looks like it uses or is a bar end weight.
Amazon $30 mirrors not sure what brand they are just some cheap ones. But they do replace the bar end weights and they are billet aluminum so they do weigh a bit so I don’t notice any more or less vibrations than stock
Ok, thanks 👍🏻
Did you swap out the front brake fluid reservoir? My SV650X came with a generic ugly plastic one.
Nope mine is the same one it came with
Do you have an opinion on a TPS"mod?
I've been reading about calibrating the throttle position sensor to smooth out the twitchy power delivery but it seems a little esoteric. Information is scarce.
I’ve never had an issue with the throttle so I can’t really help you out sorry. In my opinion it has great power and throttle response. It might be new riders not used to the torque of the bike. Not sure lol
@@SmokinMonkeyOG Oh that's absolutely it lol. Sometimes that crispy throttle catches me by surprise.
Did you ever end up doing the decat and dyno?
No I didn’t, sort of lost interest. Never planned on tracking the bike so it’s perfectly fine how it is
Mod no. 1: Wear a jacket!
i have been looking for that thing above your headlight.. and seems harder to find here in my country. I have the SV650 2018 and im pretty sure same with yours.
would you mind helping me on getting that thing above your headlight?
I purchased directly from Suzuki but you can find it on eBay as well. And here as well depending where you live. Here is a link:
japan.webike.net/products/23836817.html
@@SmokinMonkeyOG Thanks Bro. Ride Safe :)
No problem man, Ride safe man!
Just get the 650 X
It’s actually not the same thing. The sv650x has a different wind deflector there
Mississauga man eh
What is the exhaust you got on your SV650 and is annoying for neighbors and stuff
i got the stock exhaust on my sv650 so do you recommend changing it ?
I have a yoshimura alpha slip on exhaust. It’s pretty loud but I would definitely recommend changing it. Better to have cars hear you on the road because they don’t look for bikes when they’re driving. As for neighbours I haven’t gotten complaints but dogs always go nuts when I pass by lmao. Check out this video I made it should help you make your decision. ruclips.net/video/YOQTdlrXtWE/видео.html
@@SmokinMonkeyOG thanks alot mate
Great video! Where are the mirrors and seat from?
Mirrors are $30 amazon mirrors and the seat is the Sv650x seat. You can order them direct from Suzuki for around $300
Smokin Monkey thanks man! Which mirrors on Amazon? Do they vibrate a lot at high speeds?
Custom Motorcycle CNC Handle Bar End Rearview Side Mirrors 3"Round 7/8" 22 mm for Honda Yamaha Suzuki Kawasaki Aprilia Benelli BMW Derbi Ducati Gilera www.amazon.ca/dp/B01N0QLNWC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_q3iip88JxfmQd no vibrations but they do need you to use the inserts from the stock bar end weights to mount them because they’re fukin junk $30 China mirrors lol literally the cheapest ones they have and you have to adjust them every 10min while ridding so you to you if you wana get em. But they require a bit of fiddling with to get them to mount up and sit right
Lets face its not the bikes fault if you get wet or dirty just wear waterproofs
nice video i wanna get a sv 650 and wanted to know how tall u are and do you consider this bike for ppl over 185cm ?
I myself am 186cm so I would definitely recommend the SV650 for tall riders it fits me great and I would imagine it would fit taller riders comfortably as well
@@SmokinMonkeyOG thank you very much for that quick answer have fun and ride save my friend
greetings from switzerland
I am 5”8 185lbs. Can i flat foot it? Is it top heavy? with covid-19 all dealerships are closed to sit on one.
Look up the seat height and compare with a bicycle or something that is same height. I believe the 2017 SV 650 is 30.9 inches high to the seat from the ground
I'm 5 9", I can flat foot my 2001 k1 SV650, my seat is 805 mm (31.7 in). You should be fine.
# Nice video, is a good bike for commuting honestly? daily use and weekend touring, of perhaps recreation purpose? Is this bike good enough and usually commuting friendly? it's better than Yamaha MT 07
Any way great video
Be safe
Yes this bike is great for commuting
I would leave the fenders on there. Keeps the water spray off if there is water
Not a concern for me, I prefer the look without
Azul
do you buy all your mods online ? can you please hook up a link for your favorite websites, i like fortnite but they dont have much to choose from for my 2019
Ya I’ve bought everything online. Mirrors are off amazon, most of my stuff is from fortnine like the exhaust, gear I wear, tail bag & fender eliminator. Some things like my frame sliders I get off revzilla.com not .ca because the selection usually is garbage lol and of course suzukiparts from Suzuki.ca like my seat and my meter visor. I’ve also bought a windshield off fortnine that I tested. Might sell it if you want it, it’s the Givi one I reviewed
@@SmokinMonkeyOG awesome ! il keep all this in mind! :D
No problem, glad I could help
You got to get along with the review
gonna copy your bike man,except for some minor details...so i can say it's original :)
jk, nice video
Lol 😂 thanks man!
Next video maybe practice a script, good mods but long-winded and too wordy.
A bit late lol I’ve made a couple videos since this one already man lol
👍
😁✌️
maybe upgrade your gloves lmao
Lmao I have tons of different gloves and these are the ones I wanted to wear that day 🤷♂️
