SV650 Smokin' Cold Start, Motor from Ebay

Used 4000mile 2006 SV650 motor from ebay... $186 with coupon, hell yes! I figured I got a derelict at that price, and while it started right up without such a hiccup, it smoked like it was from Kentucky for about 10-15 minutes because the engine was crated full of oil laying on its side.

I almost forgot to add that going from an '06 engine into an '01 frame the emissions PAIR system isn't operational and dumps additional oil into the exhaust valves that was the reason why it smoked so much for so long... I tapped the holes and screwed suitable sized bolts into them.

This engine was bolted into my 2001 SV650 that was going to become my Honzuki SVCR500S convert, but the CR500 engine is being using for another project.

This video was requested by my friend Clayton (Groutaone) up in Canada! Thanks for all the laughs, and all of those interesting projects of yours.

Good job! If you still have the original 1st gen engine then you can get a useful increase in power by replacing the 2nd gen exhaust cam with the 1st gen inlet cam. You might have to mess around with carb jetting however.

@mikerjuk I have a set of those sitting here in the garage just waiting for me to do exactly that. I also got an invite to tune it on a dyno, hehe! :)

Are you running on carbs from the original 01 engine, or have you got the entire fuel injection system fitted?

[vvtheduckvv]

@mikerjuk I reverted the 2nd gen engine back to 1st gen carbs and ignition system. I also disabled the system that allows air to be introduced to the exhaust for emissions control, as the 1st gen didn't have that either.

For how long the engine smoked when you blip the trottle? I have an sv650 that stayed 1 hr and 30 minutes on it's left side tipped over and it was smoking when I was blipping the throttle... Even tho I will wait the spring to burn the rest of the oil, now is winter and the motorcycle is in the garage.

@GoodKat22 I had a bit more of a problem, that is a second generation engine converted to a first generation. The emissions control system blockoff that I put in leaked oil into the exhaist vavles, shortly after this video I drilled and tapped it and screwed bolt plugs in there instead. Otherwise most of the smoke stopped right away, then the rest burned off in a about 10-15 minutes of riding.

@sk8erboi666 Good comment, except there isn't a redneck anywhere in the video, LOL!

[GoodKat22]

@vvtheduckvv Thanks for the fast answer. Mine is spitting a liiiitle bit of smoke (the engine has 19.000 kilometers) so it's almost brand new. I found oil in the airbox, so prolly that's why mine was smoking.
