second gen sv650

[HAWK]

Anybody know if an 05 sv650 motor is the same as an 03? Or did they make changes that would prevent the 05 from being a good spare.

[badmonkey]

They are all the same. I have a 2000 motor in a 2005 frame..

+1, it will work, hell you could put either one of them into a 1st gen frome and not have that ugly black frame

[APP_Racing]

I like by black ugly frame!

I only wish I was cool enough to have a black ugly frame!

Nothing to do with the original post, but I'm looking for some upgrades on the SV over the winter.  I'm having a hard time finding anything (forks, slipper clutch, brakes kits, all the fun stuff) that fits on the SV, is there a secret I don't know about?  I know its out there.

Slipper clutch - Yoyodyne - $800. I liked mine.

Forks - I just had the emulators and modified damping rods (actually made my own aluminum rods - better have the correct alloy) and used Attack triple clamps.

Brakes - Carbon Lorrain pads, Brembo radial master cylinder, replaced brake lines.

come over to my house becka, i gots all kind of cool sv stuff laying around, granted you cant have it, but you can look at it :-). ohh and when i said black, i meant to say block, the new frame is all blocky, i think its ugly but they are definetly faster. anyway becka, if you are tired of ss you could put a gsxr front end on the bike, as well as put some intake cams on the exhaust side of your 2nd gen bike. also aftermarket brake rotors are cool, EBC and Brembo are great, havent ridden BRAKING before but im sure they are good. get a brembo master cyclinder for sure, and you can also pick one out that will be much easier for you to squeez and be much more adjustable (for your weeee little hands) ive got brembo calipers up front on mine and they are faaaaaaaantastic, but again not for ss. but from looking at you bike, I see tons of stuff could that could be made much lighter or just taken off for that matter, but then again you weigh 90 lbs, cheater. :-)

So the answer is that I could even take a first gen motor and just bolt up the Fuel Injection stuff and stick it in the 03?

[benprobst]

yup, I think so. I know you can put a 2nd gen efi motor in a first gen frame. Its a bit more involved than just bolting on the FI stuff, you have to do a few other things, i believe you have to go inside the motor and open or block off a hole or delivery line somewhere, im not positive, if you need more info you can pm me ive got the info stored somewhere. seeing that you have to go into the motor to change things, im not sure if it is ss legal, granted you probably wont get busted, especially not with ccs, but it could be illegal though would offer no real gains.

Paul, I'm 90% sure that all the FI bikes use an identical motor.

Thanks Guys,

I don't know yet if I'm running SS or not so that may not be an issue anyway but with the 03's propensity for breaking cranks I'm just looking for backup stuff.

I'm parting out my SV superbike with lots of  goodies left.  Here is the link: http://riderforums.com/showthread.php?p=294889#post294889   I can also help with a slipper clutch
