Hi Folks, i'm watching this cool video but i have a different problem on my fuel pump. The Thermistors are broken, so someone knows if there is a rebuild kit with this part ? Thanks
Very informative. I am presently going through the aftermath of having been forced to smash the cylinder to pieces to get a tank open and looking into the options to do something meaningful with the remains.
I'm fascinated at how your set up is leaking and rather than resetting and starting the video over you decided to post a video of unsatisfactory data. If anyone is curious about why their bike has low compression in the rear cylinder only, it's not because of oil starvation because that would affect both cylinders. It's because the throttle linkage is controlled by the front throttle body first, and then there is a secondary link controlling the rear from the front throttle bodies movement. The front throttle body which is more precisely controlled also has the throttle position sensor connected to it. As that secondary link wears out there is slop between the 2 throttle bodies. At that point during warm-up, during idle, and during slight throttle opening only the front throttle body is being moved and the rear cylinder is seeing an increase in fuel delivery (from the TPS on the front TB) before the throttle blade begins to move (for the rear cyl). It causes the rear cylinder to run rich and get washed out
@@mostlymotorized it would be "unsatisfactory" regardless cause the acceleration forces cannot be accounted for and neither can the volume of oil sucked into the heads etc. Low compression is not what kills the bike. Starvation is and affects every part of the engjne
Hi ! Thank you for the video. I'm a newbi in mechanic, and I need to change my shifter after an accident. What it's the size of the nut ? Just to make sure that I bougth the rigth thing. Thank's ! :D
@@rafaelfrometaroman8645 see how it's in a compartment? Youd need to get it from all the way in the back. Probably more machine work than a whole bike thats good for wheelies (ninja 650 for example)
Great video, thanks. It was my first-time motorcycle job, and it was not so complex when you have a good video:) The only thing I'm worrying about is that I accidentally set the oil level to 130mm instead of 120 and don't have any oil left. Is this critical? I have a fork with a preload adjuster if it makes any difference.
I couldn’t get a local bike mechanics to rebuild the pump and given the age of my bike (2005) I didn’t want to shell out for a new pump. I watched your “how to’ a couple of times and decided to buy a new pump and rebuild it myself. I surprised myself when it started working and the bike started first time after 12 years of sitting in the garage. Many thanks for taking the time 👍😁
Your video was super helpful bro but I messed up. When I seen you installed the seal I couldn’t figure out how far you went in. When I installed it I made it all the way back to where it wasn’t going any further and it started leaking as soon as I turned the bike on. Did I go to far in or did I hit it too hard. Or did I do both? lol
Was this ever made for the SV1000s? Looks good though! I just noticed, I like how you put convex mirrors on the upper faring. Great idea. Hadn’t thought of that.
@@Mad8vCyclesThanks. I pulled it off yesterday. It’s easy. But I realized that it’s a flimsy piece of gear and is partly responsible for some rattles. Have you ever reenforced the fairing?There was a broken plastic nut that needs to be superglued.
@@Mad8vCycles Good idea. I’ll do that. I’m also going to add rubber washers to bolts and contact points, and then some acoustic dampening tape on the bare surface areas.
@@Mad8vCycles Hey, one more question if you don’t mind. Have you ever installed GXSR forks on the SV1000? If so, were there any special considerations to the install? And how did it affect the handling and front end? Same with the shock. I have a GXSR shock but the gas reservoir is on the wrong side! Thanks.
@@HeadSh0tGaming just swap the flywheel, theyre cheap www.mad8v.com/products/flywheel-rotor-magnets-with-starter-clutch-1g-sv650-1999-2002?_pos=1&_sid=a0c2d7462&_ss=r
Had an 05 for 10 years and 170k miles. You can absolutely slam gears, did it daily. Hammer 1-2 around a tight corner, kick the rear out and hold that slide allll day long. Only vehicle I’ve ever owned that I still genuinely miss even 8 years later.
@@kevinrodriguesferreira2643 it's pretty straightforward... either on the peg with a big allen bolt for 99-03 or on a little post with a snapring for 04+
Gen 3 owners note that the torque spec for the locking (lower) nut is only 20Nm on this model bike. Then back off 1/4 turn. The torque for the top nut is the same as Gen 2 at 90Nm.
@@pratmak first off, i think during a stoppie oile wouldnt shift away from the pickup. Second, i dont think it's possible that youre rolling 10 second stoppies or whatever.
I always liked unique vehicles until it came to finding parts. My current project is a 95 F150 and I haven't found a part that I can't get for it. Its a belly button, but that has its advantages.
Just wondering if the bearing in there can be replaced as well without taking the engine apart? I’m replacing my seal as well and decided to replace all those pieces plus the bearing. Thanks bro
When I got my 01 SV the airbox to carb boots were loose like yours and I needed to pull the airbox apart and re-seat them. If you don't do the same you're gonna have massive intake leaks
Clutch connector had come undone in transit after buying. Everybody I asked was sending me down different rabbit holes that wouldn’t have fixed the problem. Thank you
