2008 SV650s

[HotColdCoco]

Other toy my ass thats a car

[warder105]

slip-on or full?

[pacocean1]

@warder105 Just a slip-on. Full system is way too expensive for a 650.

[kenthedizzl]

give it some throttle nigger

[xXxNickyJxXx]

Im about 5'7" give or take...do you think i would fit on this bike comfortably?

[pacocean1]

@xXxNickyJxXx

You can always lower the suspension a bit. Im 6' and i touch the ground on my toes, but it can always be adjusted. you shouldnt have problems

[cbr125rcanada]

@xXxNickyJxXx - I'm 5'7", and I took about 1.5 inches off of the overly cushy seat and it's fine (much cheaper than getting the suspension lowered).

[MissMan666]

The SV650 sound about 10.000000 times better than the parallel twin on the ER6/650R

[sajakbar]

bikes a work of art mate, but boo at that cagey "other toy" :P

[pacocean1]

The ninja 650R is going to have more high-end power, where the SV has a lower end power with its v-twin. Its still a fast bike, but if your looking for high end performance id go with the ninja.

[hai2you2]

@pacocean1 The SV are picked in ever comparison of the two,. I was not a suzuki fan but bought a 2006 SV650S, upgraded the front suspension and its awesome. Before you do anything get a new spring up front and an emulator, handles like a race bike now.

[LtGlenn]

@pacocean1 not true. The SV650 has equal high end power, and slightly superior low end power. The difference is very small though, basically the bikes perform equally in both regards.

[seishin48]

@pacocean1 with that in mind i guess the SV is good for a restricted bike as u wil not feel highend power?

[498853]

how gay..

[random804]

omg rev the damn thing! lol

[ChopperMan49]

yeah the sv650 are about 2000 to 3000 shipper then R1'S and all sport bikes.

[torontothegood]

ok. so the stock tin can sucks and is huge. but the lil stubby u got on there looks ridiculous.!

[bmewillow1985]

I got a 2005 without the fairing. You know where to buy a OEM colored match for the SV? It looks so much better with the fairing. Nice bike man, I did exhaust, power commander, and k&N...smoothed out torque curve and sounds mean. any info would be great if you know.. thanks.

[zepingas]

SWEET! Where did you get this exhaust? I want to get one badly!

[Lique727]

starting in 2008 the sv comes with fairings

[antiherofisher]

How hard is it to put on a slip on exhaust? Do I need a dealership to do it or would it be easy for myself if I did it?

Thanks in advance and love the sound. Thanks for sharing

[pacocean1]

no need, saw the old one off, and your new slip on will come with directions. if not, cut it 4 inches above the weld, and slap the new one on. it took me about 45 minutes. piece of cake

[antiherofisher]

Thanks a ton. Tooo bad you didnt have a video putting on your new exhaust ;)

[torontothegood]

simple... 30 minutes and a Sawzall is all you need. Slipons are pretty much plug n' play .

now if you do it right and re-map your FI system as you should .. that's a little more complex.

[BHFVancouver]

Did that come fully faired from the dealer?

Might be an American thing... there doesn't seem to be an SV650 with fairings sold by Suzuki in Canada... it's too bad because the bike looks so much better with it.

[bagbag1978]

They are in the UK !

[pacocean1]

i used to live in hawaii, and they didnt sell them with the fairing either. two reasons.....first they only started putting the fairings on them in 2008. second....most dealers wont sell them with fairings, because the bike overheats too fast and the lack of a fairing prevents this

[pacocean1]

its definately worth the money! Good luck and enjoy it!

[w3timmy]

Just bought one of these - going to pick it up this Friday. Can't wait. Love that sound!

[bagbag1978]

Passed my bike test today went and sat on an SV650s K8 today and I think it's a match made in heaven !

[pacocean1]

congrats, its money well spent

[bagbag1978]

Your right there I bought the SV650S K8 fully faired in black with red seat, been riding for a week or two now and it's a real pleasure to ride.

It's a great bike to start on and Incredibly forgiving. An exhuast and tail tidy are my next plans, some drivers haven't a clue so an exhuast will make a difference and make me heard.

Nice vid BTW !

[torontothegood]

"Loud Pipes Save Lives"

LoL!

[pacocean1]

thanks bud

[kkingss4]

@w3timmy im going to buy one this friday too lol i hope we are not talking about the same bike!!

[w3timmy]

@kkingss4 haha - well I'd hope not. I mean I bought mine a couple of years ago so I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely ;)

[pacocean1]

i agree. thanks buddy!

[bmewillow1985]

I got a 05. great bikes. enjoy your fresh 08!

[pacocean1]

just slip on

[lex87a]

That sounds good. Is it full or just slip on?

[pacocean1]

slip on. thanks for the comment
