SV650 Engine Failure Diagnosis 

Personally seen an SV650 with 240k miles, original engine. Love em.

I’m in my 4th year in the trade, always love to watch this type of video, your flow is nice and slow for explanation. Awesome video

I believe that those gears are Nylon, a strong material that is used primarily for noise reduction!

60k km is not high for an SV.

Well explained dude.

Given the age, what would the options be to replace the plastic gears? Can you get after-market ones easily or would you need to custom make them?

Very interesting 😯

good tips thanks

could you replace a drive shaft baring in vstrom dl 1000, price? i’m in ireland

Awesome! What are you planning to do with the engine now? Are you replacing the starter motor and using the engine?

Throwing away a dl650 engine at 60.000...blasphemy. If propperly taken care of (oil, filters, valves, timing chain) they easily last over 200.000 And that comes from how brilliant the Jappanese were when they built this engine. How the oil jets work and are distribuited and how the oil is ran trough the oil cooler to keep an optimal temperature.

it's a no-brainer.... condemning a whole engine bcuz of a bad starter!?!?!... i'd changed mechanics that day.
