So far I've put over 7000 on my commuter SVS with no problems whatsoever. Recently though, I noticed a power hitch on the freeway; it surged a bit, then seemed to smooth out. Guess it's time to check that front cylinder for moisture (it stays outside 24/7)

Check your chain slack and look for frozen links as well.


I bought my 02 SV for $1700 about a year and a half ago. Salvage title, apparently from being dropped and the odo resetting. Certainly the bike wasnt totaled, as its parts are all stock.

I bought about $600 worth of parts (leaky fork seals!) to fix it up. Since then I've had to put literally zero money into it, and it has run like a champ. Scorpion exhaust and Racetech valve emulators.

I'm thinking I'd like to replace some plastics, and do a front end swap. Might tackle the valves when I get a day off too.
