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

Any chance you know how to get a fuelbot in the uk? Or if you have one for sale

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

I had a wire short in the black connector for the headlight. I replaced it, but now nothing works. Not even the dadhboard lights or pump...

any this wont effect anything ? it will run perfectly ?

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

What if you extend the oil intake tube (with a heat resistant material) so that its always under the oil level when doing Willies? 🤔

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 👍😁

Can you do a video with an extremely stiff sidewall to show how to utilize the tire iron to keep the tire in the drop center?

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.

does this work with first gen? cheers

cant wait to see this truck more!

Ah, so the twice-blown "Gladius" engine I got with my basket case bike, was actually an '03-04. The bike is an '06. Cool!

Thank you so much sir.

Oil cooler delete? What's your take on this? Do you run one on your race bike, and if not, have you had any problems with overheating? Cheers

Very useful, but did I miss you lubing the seal and tube when fitting

Race Tires on a sv650 😂 Its a low power sports tourer not a race bike

Kind of worried that this would demagnetise magnets. How hot does it gets?

I need to remove the outer fairing to flush the radiator but not the inner fairing, yes?

Thank you very much for the video. I need to take off the fairing to work on the front end and wasn’t quite sure where all the screws were.

That’s pretty sweet to be honest!

I have an 01 with a 2 busted up magnets in the magneto any chance you know where I can find a replacement?

I legit tried to like the video 2 times Thanks man

What is the torque spec in foot pounds?

Is draining the coolant needed for a clutch rebuild?

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.

Just got a sv1000 not running for free😂 clean title not running. I’m just assuming it will need a new motor

Hello, you have a video of all the assembly of the shifter because I'm trying to mount one on my sv and I can't make it?

Thanks dude, much appreciated

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.

I wonder if riding up some of the hills in San Francisco will cause starvation

This is not a well managed experiment.

Wheelies bad, but what about stoppies? They shouldn’t hurt anything right?

Will a k7 abs rear Frame fit on a k6 (650)

Glad you back) hope more suzi sv's are coming soon)))

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.

I just took a flat head screw driver and hammered it in there, took 5 seconds 😂 good video to do it the right and neat way 👍

You can probably save that axel with a grand marteau. Frustrating problem for sure. Nice catch.

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

Thank, you, helped me a lot

You are a hero.

Excellent info. I enjoyed gaining some knowledge on how lowering a Vstrom actually works. It’s backwards from what most riders think.. Thank you..

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

Can you please make a video of the wiring harness on the 1st gen? (removal/replacement if possible)

That's a hell of an idea

That truck sounds awesome. What kind of exhaust do you have?

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
