The best preventative accessory to stop bike theft is simply to put a Disc brake lock on the bike. The problem with keyless keys is the battery can go dead. And keyless ignitions can be hacked. So there not 100% theft proof as you believe.
I tried one of those disc brake locks, they just cut it off with an angle grinder and they are not fun to put on and off, if they can figure out how to hack the receiver they can keep the bike, but if they where that skilled they wouldn’t be stealing cheap bikes 🙃
@@Keenan35i I’m currently riding a CB500 from 95”, which suits me fine but I’m looking for a bit more grunt down low, might buy an SV soon - keep making videos ;)
I have the sv1000s 2004, last owner changed the front sprocket for 1 tooth less and the speedo was out a mile, changed back to standard and all good now, certainly didn't need the that mod as well quick anyway
so how do you lock the bars now? not only were those thieves trying to bypass the ignition switch, but they were probably trying to unlock the bars. you don't have to start it if you can just wheel it away, and the steering lock is on the ignition module.
No more steering lock if they wanted to wheel it away they could have cause they broke the steering lock and hid some air tags in the bike either way. But thankfully i moved somewhere with better security now.
Cool stuff but, the next mod you should do is to just move to a different location if you're having so many problems with theft. Someone knows you and your routine. Time to move. At least 30 miles away and a good neighborhood
Well done, I'm buying one of these in 3 weeks. A pristine 2009 smoke grey from a good friend of mine. He purch. new & is ANAL AF about his shit so, It looks brand new and has been a commuter most of its miles and a 2nd bike for him since 2016.. Bone stock & original but for new Bridgestone BattleAx tires. Already have about 1k in upgrades for it in a pile,.. from fender eliminator/ tail tidy kits to frame sliders, tank pads, Adj. levers, T.R.E., solo seat cowl/grab rail delete plugs, to a real Carbon Fiber exhaust & CF hugger rear fender, gearing upgrade..... I like that bubble windscreen just ordered one and now I see it looks pretty good,. I was wondering.. Now i'm looking at the headlight upgrades and one of those Sargent seats,..yeah that seat can be much improved !...
Nice! You will enjoy that bike im sure they are great bikes. The LED headlights made a big difference in visibility, i might switch to have one side projector headlight mod soon i think that would look pretty cool kind of like a Ducati 996.
Black is a great color on these i don't see many of them mostly see the sv1000s in black. The orange color is nice as well, prob my second fav color on these.
Nice . I never knew you could retrofit a keyless ignition system. Thanks!
Love the full fairing SV.
I don’t think the bar ends are for protection. I think they are designed to be weighted to offset vibration
Nice looking sv just got mine will definitely try some of them mods out I like the keyless one .
Sweet good luck lmk if you have any questions about it! Ill definitely have alot more SV content coming soon
When they come for your bike, usually they bring a van my guy and simply load it up.
That’s a clean sv650!
Nice! Finally some new sv content! I’m gonna start making videos as well I have a red 06 s model. What year r6 mirrors are those?
Nice red looks great on them, ill be making more SV related content soon! I believe they where aftermarket ones from an 2006 r6.
What kind of LED bulbs did you get for the front. I just picked up an 06 650s and the halogens gotta go!!!!! Lol
Nice bike but you need to turn down that mic sensitivity.

Thanks for the video. Think i will get the keyless start for my sv
Cool lmk how u like it!
I need 08 SV650s dark grey lower fairings
Do you have an updated link to the side fairings 🙏
my sv650s k5 came with full fairings, much the same colour.
Subscribed ! Does the speedo still work with the sprocket changes?
Yep still seems pretty accurate, i didn’t go to aggressive i would recommend just one in the front sprocket or two in the back same either way.

Anyone know where to get the bottom fairings for the 2005 sv 1000?
What kind of LED bulbs did you get for the front?
thats a good question, it was many years back but i think they where some ebay direct replacement LEDs.
Where do you get the black decals on the front fairing, they look awesome and help the roundness of the headlights
I cut them my self out of generic automotive vinyl wrap.
@@Keenan35i awesome thanks man
Where did you buy your plastic decor for the s model
is the tire on your front weel mounted the wrong way?
Nope it’s the correct way.

Yea i ended up getting a garage for it now, best mod i did 🙃
is there a new link for the side Farings? i am looking some since a while. Preferably some that are accesible in EU

Where did you get the grab bar delete plugs?
Gear indicator?
nice video man!
That’s a nice sv 👍🏻
How did you install the flush side turn signals bro ? Resistor needed ?
I cant remember tbh it was many years ago but i don’t think the ones i got needed a resistor
For the r6 mirror swap is there wiring involved?
Yea had to splice the turn signal wires and run the wire
I’m trying to find a black one… your’s looks sick!
Black is a great color on these i don't see many of them mostly see the sv1000s in black. The orange color is nice as well, prob my second fav color on these.
I have 2006 sv650 naked can I just screw fairings on if I wanted
I would do a quick search to see if anyone has had it done but i don’t see why not.
@@Keenan35i thanks will subscribe and look forward to more vids 😃
How dit you get those black triangles above your headlights? Are they standard?
No i put them on, they are carbon fiber wrap.
@@Keenan35i look sick man! Could u maybe make a walkaround and drive video in the future?

Will do!
@@Keenan35i Great! Would like to see some of the power of this bike, as I’m interested in buying one as my first bike!
Anyone know which Exhaust is best for him?
Probably the M4 Ti setup, but the SV sounds very similar regardless of what setup used.
Yoshimura.
