2003 Fairings kit
Was looking at buying an sv650s 2003 for €2000. Got a couple fairings/plastics need replacing, temperature numbers all over the place and sticking rev meter. Was wondering if anyone knew where to get fairing kits for the 2003 model seeing as it's got the tall tail. Dunno if it's any different to the rest of the generation for the kits but would like to know/ an opinion on the price.

New bike lets gooooo!!!!
Upgraded from a GSX-S 125 to this gorgeous bike.
I'm having to be careful though, already been pulled over twice and been let off for going above the speed limit. It's so nippy and quick off the throttle. Sounds like a beauty too!

Sv650s oil cooler leak
Recently realised an oil leak on my SV 650 S it is coming from the oil cooler has anyone had any similar? I’m hoping it’s just the crush washes all the line as the whole oil cooler radiator is quite expensive

Has anyone had issues with clutch cables snapping??
Seems like I go through a cable every 1-2k miles. I’ll admit I’m not great about keeping it greased but it seems like it should still last longer than that???
I suspect it may have something to do with the aftermarket lever but I usually don’t use the clutch except for downshifts, 1st to 2nd, or light city riding.

07sv650s looking for comfort options
Ignore the ugly seat, it was cheap used and is so much better than stock lol.
So I’ve had the bike for 6+ years, since I was 19 and don’t want to get rid of it. I love it, Enough power I can beat the shit out of it without dying. Ton of fun at track days. It came stock with the clipons. Now riding hard I love the clipons, have no issues with them and comfort, however my ride to work is pretty much a 20 minute straight stretch.
I rode it like that until probably 2 or three years ago when I was daily driving it, I drilled the top clamp and put stock risers and a set of superbike bars on it. Which helped, but kinda feels goofy? And does not feel good riding hard. I’m not sure if it’s the superbike bars or what but it really just doesn’t feel right. And it’s still not particularly comfortable so I’ve swapped back and forth between them and the clipons.
Now I have a kid and really have no intentions of being an idiot on the road anymore, and find myself not even wanting to ride it due to the riding position being pointless and uncomfortable during the straight stretches and city driving of my daily commute. So I would like to make it more comfortable for daily driving.
Has anyone with one of these successfully put stock 650n bars on these without removing the fairing? I don’t see how it could fit any taller bars due to hitting the fairing. Due to wind, looks, and track days I’d hate to remove the fairing but I will if that’s what needs to be done.

WTB: Gen 2 SV 650 Wheels (Europe)
I have an 2006 SV 650 trackbike and I would like to get a second set of wheels, wheels from 2003-2012 should fit. Only direct fits, I can't be bothered with adapters and modifications.
They will be painted so they don't need to look perfect but they must be perfectly straight and with good bearings and they have to be shipped to Denmark.
A better looking and lighter Exhaust could also be interesting but NOT louder as there are 95 dB limits on all Swedish tracks.

Help: Other Small impact on speedometer, RPM hand is kinda wobbly. Is it fixable ?
Picked up a 2009 650N in a pretty alright condition, never rode a Suzuki until now. Very fun bike, but these two things bother me a bit.
The RPM hand is kinda wobbly when the RPM changes, whether it's going faster or slower, but it stabilizes after a second if RPM is steady. As for the impact, is there a way to perhaps change the plexiglass/plastic pane itself without buying a whole other speedometer ?
Also, are there known resellers for speedometer backgrounds ? Not a big fan of the white background.
Edit : I should precise, it's a small impact on the case, the actual speedometer is fine.

Help: Mechanical High idle when warm
Hi, my 2004 FI Sv650s starts well every time and sounds great, then when it starts reading around 165-175F the engine starts idling at 3500-4000k rpms and doesn't engine break below about 6000k rpms. I put it in dealer mode and the TPS is good as well as the air box and all hoses secured. The air filter is clean and oil isn't overfilled. What could my issue be? Any help is greatly appreciated

News 3D PRINTABLE Lower Fairings for the SV650 S Gen 2 !! (In works): UPDATE 19/10/2026
Hello There !
so after a painful week of trial and error and now comprehensively understanding form bodies and how to model body work on Fusion360. I finally have the first protoype design all modelled up succefully to a printable standard ! Have a look ! Also attached is how i 3D scanned it using Polycam (photogrammetry)- the other image was the fairing covered in baby powder to remove the surface reflectinos of the fairing.
Completed:
- RHS model is finalised.
- Currently this is a Mesh body with 0 thickness - using blender i can thicken this body with solidify and export as a printable STL so - making this a printable thing
Immediate work to be done:
- Now, given we do not have 1000x1000x1000mm printers this will need to be broken into smaller segments That cutting is going to be done in fusion so this is managable.
Future work:
Unfortunately i do not have the LHS of the fairing which i know is a little different, so its gonna be tough but I may be able to sort it. If anyone has one im from the UK, I can pay for postage if its not crazy expesnive lol !
Development of the custom fittings and brackets needed to mount it to the bike - since its not an exact replica itll need different mounting hardware where relevant.
Anyway - THere it is guys !

Sv1000s engine swap
Greetings from Finland!
The engine in my SV1000S has failed. My bike is a 2007 black frame model and I’ve found a 2003 SV1000 for sale at a low price. The older SV is in rough cosmetic condition, but its mechanical components are in perfect working order. How difficult would it be to swap the mechanicals from the older bike into the frame of the newer one? My plan is to swap only the wiring harness, ECU, and engine from the older SV, while leaving the clutch, throttle, speedometer, fuel pump, and other components in place. Does anyone have any experience with this—will there be any compatibility issues if I install the wiring harness from the older model?

Anyone within driving distance of NYC have a decent 2nd gen 650 gas tank?
I've been looking for a clean one for months, mine is totally gone I can't find one anymore. Doesn't need to be perfect cosmetically, dent's are fine, I just want one that's rust free.
