It is not a consensus, but I don't think it's a bad first bike.

So... Is the passenger side mirror on the back of the bike?

benwards posted:Turns out that the cylinder, radiator, and certainly the plug were all flooded. Torrential rains are a bit much for my particular bike, it seems. This doesn't really make sense. It rained so hard it filled your radiator with water? And the cylinder filled up with water? How, you left it outside in the rain with the heads off?

WildWanderer posted:While I'm here I'd like a suggestion on handlebars. The factory bars are bent (and bent back) so I want to replace them ASAP. I found the factory bars to be a little too high and a little too narrow for my taste. Any suggestions on what I should replace them with? I replaced my Seca's factory ape-hangers with MX bars and really liked them, but I don't think that would work out quite the same on the SV560. Any and all words of wisdom on this matter would be appreciated. Take the stock bars into a dealer that has a few different MX bar bends. Find a pair a little lower, and a little wider than the ones you have. If you can't find what you like look for a 'superbike' bend online. Keep your cables and brake lines in mind when you get wider bars, but you should be able to make small changes without any problems.

teh bux posted:Can a full fairing be mounted to a half-faired SV650S pretty easily? Also, how big of an ordeal is swapping to a cafe-style big old circluar headlight? The SV full fairing will mount right up. If you want a circular headlight with the SV fairing you'll need to modify the fairing yourself. Huge ordeal.

dietcokefiend posted:Will 2-cycle mixed into premium gas do anything bad to my 2007 SV650? I have like 3 gallons with a partial diluted mix to burn off and I dont want to dump it in my car with cats. Concerned about fuel injectors and the o2 sensor really, dont mind a puff or two extra of smoke. You're right that it could foul the cat in your car, although it might be fine diluted with another 7 in the tank. The pre-mix will have no effect on the fuel injectors, or 02 sensor. Dump it in, or better yet, go buy a dirtbike. Can I recommend an alternative fuel for any other SV650s? I hear Suzuki's run well on NOS Energy drinks.

Coredump posted:I've started to notice a clicking sound as I turn my handlebars lock to lock. What's that mean? Need to tighten the nuts or look at new bearings? Before you tear apart the steering stem, make sure it isn't a cable pulling across the fairing or something simple like that.

Could be worn dogs(teeth/holes on the face of the gear) on 20 and 27. Or 2. Wear in 7 could cause it too, but It's not very likely.
