już w trochę późnym wieku - 46 - zdecydowałem się zrobić prawo jazdy na motocykl. po jego zdaniu od razu przeglądając oferty sprzedaży motorów zwróciłem uwagę na właśnie ten egzemplarz, pojechałem i kupiłem wersję 2001. Chciałem motocykl zasilany gaźnikiem. Przejechałem już 2000 km i nie żałuję zakupu. Teraz studiuję jego instrukcje serwisowe - Pani kanał na youtube napewno będzie mi bardzo pomocny w mechanikowaniu tego motoru.
I had a KTM so many problems.. I switched to sv 650 g3 was on sale one year in and I have a blast From traffic filtering to corners.. No problems at all... Your videos are very helpful.. Thnks.
Agreed, it is a very forgiving bike and such a pleasure to ride! I am pleased you have enjoyed the videos, thanks for watching, new one out next Friday, I hope you enjoy that one too!
JackstandJohnny Where do I start? 2k air box for filter cracked..replaced warrenty 4k radiator leaking.. Replaced warranty.. 5k fan died.. Warranty 6k back brakes cracked... Had enough traded for new sv650 One year nothing amazing
Yeah, it has turned into a really nice space to work in, the carpets mean I can kneel down without being uncomfortable, there is even a heater in there now so it is nice and toasty!
Another great and informative video Tamsen. I will be doing a full service on my bike this weekend as it needs it but also I enjoy working on it.......
Thats just it isn't it, enjoying the process of working on the bike! Thanks for taking the time to put such a nice comment out there, feedback like yours puts a real smile on my face!
Tamsen Cooper it's really good and I mean it to find a fellow enthusiast who not only enjoys riding but takes the time to make clear concise videos to help us all. I love riding mine and equally love tinkering with it and watching your videos helps alot because you can apply most things you teach to all bikes. Now I'm waffling lol
Great video! Could you make a video about how to install the full fairing for the SVS? I've got a 2000 SVS and I just bought the full fairing but I don't know how to mount it :)
Yeah of course I could do that, so the bike you have at the moment, does it have the upper fairings as standard and you want the information on how to fit the lower ones? Can you give me the link on where you bought them from and I will take a quick look to see if they are the same as mine, as they were not a part made by Suzuki (they missed a trick Imo, I love the fully faired look) they are slightly different fixings from each manufacturer and I can try to make sure I cover yours off in the video. Or, plan B...Take a trip to sunny Cornwall and I will give you a hand to fit them!
Tamsen Cooper Yeah I already have the upper ones, and I want to install the lower ones. I bought it from a French secondhand sales website, I have to clean the parts and paint it. The seller send with the lower parts some fixing screws but I don't really know how to mount these parts ^^ Thèse parts are for sure the same as yours. I could come to your country but I just got my licence and the bike, so not an easy trip from the southern France ahahah (sorry for my English, maybe not the best ahah)
Hi Thomas, thank you so much! Great to hear from people in other countries as well! The stand in the video is an ABBA stand, it is simply the best stand I have ever used, I was able to put my bike up one handed, and the bike is so solid when it is up there, it doesn't move at all!
Thx for the information. I found the website. :o) :o) I watch your videos since i bought my SV in 2016. Call her "Lucky Lucy". :o) Keep on producing videos and get well soon!
Awesome video, Thanks for the info! On CB500 is so damn hard to check the coolnet, why did they do it like that is beyond me, Also, is it normal your bike use so much oil? Hope you'll be riding back soon!
I am really pleased you enjoyed the video! Some bikes have things in weird places, I find the front cylinder spark plug a mission to get to on the sv650. Bikes use oil but if you are losing a lot of oil, that would be worth checking for sure.
Hi hope your doing well and your arm is healing well. I need some advice for my curvy sv650. My indicators have stopped working and can’t figure out what it could be. I have checked relay, fuse, switch and accessible wires and nothing. Thanks in advance
Hey, sorry to hear you are having problems. Are both indicators totally dead or do they flicker? Does everything else work i.e. headlights high/low beam, horn etc.
Tamsen Cooper thanks for getting back to me. Yes everything is working but indicators don’t do anything, no flickering or staying on. Have fitted a new gear switch and still nothing :-(
Have you given the connector to the indicator a really good clean with contact cleaner? I had an electrical issue that turned out to be weather beaten connectors, our bikes are 16 years old so that is a fair amount of time in the elements. Check all earth wires as that is another common issue. I hope this helps.
Hi There, the stand in the video is an ABBA stand, it is simply the best stand I have ever used, I was able to put my bike up one handed, and the bike is so solid when it is up there, it doesn't move at all!
Thanks for another great video Tamsen! I also have a well sorted 2002, only mine's the SV650N. Really enjoy your videos! Heres a link to a photo or two of my bike. Just fitted M4 full titanium exhaust yesterday. Sounds like a proper V-Twin now :D. www.flickr.com/gp/150918778@N08/E6592p
I did go and check out your picture, and it looks like a really tidy bike! I love the way the bike sounds, there is something special about a v twin that is for sure! I love the really big grin on your face in the picture! Thanks for watching.
Sell me your bike Tamsen. I get a bike I can trust and you get to save up for a younger bike while your shoulder gets better and you can't ride anyway 😁 izza win win 🤩
lol! your comment has actually made me roar with laughter! Thank you! (and no, I could not bring myself to sell that bike, but if you find yourself in Cornwall we could have an awesome ride out!)
As someone who is gonna buy an sv650 next year this has been extremely helpfull allready!

Thanks for helping to keep us all biking, just that poorly shoulder to mend and you can join the fun. Get well soon. :>)
Thanks Peter, the weather has turned lovely so it is important to get out there!!
And I can see you are getting your garage looking pretty nifty too compared with it at the start lol 😊😊😊
Yeah, it has turned into a really nice space to work in, the carpets mean I can kneel down without being uncomfortable, there is even a heater in there now so it is nice and toasty!
That's a super tidy curvy, not too many around in that condition!
Thank you, I love working on the bike and then when I take it out people are amazed it is 16 years old!! Thanks for watching!

Well it is great to know the videos out there are helping others, next video out next Friday!
Tamsen Cooper looking forward to it.
Finally, another video
Yeah, been putting up one a week for the last few weeks, hope you liked the other ones too!! Thanks for watching Josh!
When checking fuel in your tank, check with a torch not a Zippo lighter! Handy tip that!
Lmao!!! Please tell me you have not actually done that! Lean too far forward and you would lose your eyebrows!!
Hi. Do you have a valve adjustment tutorial?

I didn't realise you were based in France, your English is great! Ok, I will look to get that sorted.
Tamsen Cooper thanks so much! :)
A great guide again! :o) I will do these check on my sv soon.
What kind of stand do you use in these video??
Greatings from Germany, T.
Hi Thomas, thank you so much! Great to hear from people in other countries as well! The stand in the video is an ABBA stand, it is simply the best stand I have ever used, I was able to put my bike up one handed, and the bike is so solid when it is up there, it doesn't move at all!

Love the name! Can't wait to be healed to get back on 2 wheels!
Awesome video,
Thanks for the info!
On CB500 is so damn hard to check the coolnet, why did they do it like that is beyond me,
Also, is it normal your bike use so much oil?
Hope you'll be riding back soon!
