Looking for SV650 advice

10-4. I have a set of ‘02 GSXR600 for SB I’m building.

You mind if I hit you up for info via PM?

 

Interested in this.. do you have carts for it?

 

1st and 2nd gen do. New ones have Harley frames

 

They are stock, just revalved.

 

Skinnier or lighter... Words matter

 

Lighter maybe. Don't think he can squeeze through where Parish's sv can

 

What year did Suzuki start the steel frames? Any advantages or disadvantages?

09 with Gladius.
07 I believe was last year of sv (2nd gen) here in States. Gladius in 09 and now 3rd gen sv 17-18.
Steel frames have subframe and frame in one piece.

 

No real advantage to the steel frame. From the Gladius to the new 2019, they are longer than the 2nd gen. 110 links vs 112 links (chain) A little more difficult to set up. Do yourself a favor and keep it between 03 - 09, aluminum frame and swing arm. Easier to set up, more available parts, cheaper, endless notes and info...

 

If you don't have to have latest 04-06 is the one I would get.

 

I know a guy selling a 2nd gen.... Moto America front runner. Did 34s at Barber....

 

That is a big downside for track

Weighed mine at Blackhawk last weekend on the ASRA scales and it weight 335 with 2 gallons of gas and a big heavy lead acid battery in it.

 

Your bike has had some... modifications. That's not too bad!

 

And that is a fair bit more than the lightest SV that was there that day. Of course that SV needs a little mending now. [emoji853]

 

Damn! Mine has an aluminum subframe, and fancy UK bodywork that eliminates the front fairing bracket. Aftermarket radiator and it's 37o ready to roll out for a race. Would love to lighten it up a bit....

 

Sounds like their scales are a little bit optimistic....

 

Mines down to 367, hopefully more after the subframe mod. Wheels would knock it down a bit more. But he's running a carbon tank at which is where a lot of weight is plus minimal bolts

 

The 2nd Gen Humphreys rode at Pitt and NJ and Dougherty rode at VIR was 350 with enough fuel for race.
