Thank you so much for creating this, the timelapse has been invaluable for me in repairing my hyosung gt650 (similar engine), and im really glad you timelapsed it as it makes it super convenient to refer to the specific sections i need without listening to a bunch of exposition. Keep up the great work with this content, love it!
Thanks. This should come in handy. About to start winter project of pulling and tearing down a DL650 with 11k that’s makes more noise than power. . Bike is cherry and has no metal shavings in oil. Will be perusing your site when I get to the cause.
Hopefully you can help. My countershaft seal is leaking so I’m going to replace it but i ordered the drive shaft bearing and was wondering if I could remove it without opening the side of the engine? Since the seal went bad I’m replacing all those pieces that come out after the seal so I’m just curious if that bearing is removable. Thanks bro
Have you checked the cause for low compression during engine that job? Bad valve seals for example? Just curious since my sv650 from 2005 is 60000km (so 3800miles) and is at least as good as new, very stong at all revrange, cold start immediate, etc
Hey there. I have not gone through to identify why it had low compression as of yet but valve seals could be a good assumption. The cylinder heads from this engine will be sold for rebuild purposes to insure the next owner does have the valve seals replaced prior to installation. Both of my 2008 SV650S’ are at 10k and 49k and both run just as smooth as the other and have great compression. Every bike has a different story and history. Some are beaten on straight off the show room floor and never maintained. While others are properly maintained and may not have been ridden as hard. Some are ridden super hard and well maintained so they still perform tip top and you wouldn’t know the difference. The bike that this engine was removed from wasn’t well maintained and was in rough shape when it finally got to me.
I have the DL650 version of this engine outside of the bike, I’m checking to see if the motor is frozen by cranking on the crank and it’s not budging, would it be seized?
Congratulations on your new SV650 and welcome to the SV family! 🙂 The fast blinking turn signals are a super easy fix. Go on eBay an order a 7 pin flasher relay, swap it out with your factory flasher relay, and your problem will be fixed 🙂👍🏼 Please subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already. 😃
I have an 05 SV650 with an 09 engine in it, it somehow ate up all the oil in one week, I check it frequently but not daily. I managed to unseize it I think but now it idles at around 1k instead of the 1.5k ish it used to, and it has some fairly bad knock. What do you think it might be?
No. Just the camshafts. The side covers, clutch assembly and magneto will need to come off to access the lower sections of the chains and replace the guides.
Out of the 20+ SV650 and SV1000 engines I have dismantled. I’ve never used a case splitter. I’ve always used a rubber mallet. They all separate very easily.
Tools required for this are 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm sockets. An M20x1.5 grade 8 bolt to remove the magneto. I recommend a good impact gun. Flat head screw driver, rubber mallet for splitting the case or an actual case splitter, c clip pliers, needle nose pliers, and a few other tools I’m sure I forgot to mention. The tool at 3:10 is the magneto removal bolt. You can see a close up of how it’s used in my magneto removal video. Linked below. Hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/3wBIBvG1r58/w-d-xo.html
Stator cover, magneto cover, head gaskets, valve covers, and center case. Valve covers you may be able to get away with reusing. Those don’t tend to leak very often. But if your old ones feel brittle or have any tears when you remove them. I would recommend replacing them.
No problem at all. Hope everything is good inside your engine when you break it down. If you happen to need a replacement crank or any engine components. Check out my website WWW.MOTOPARTSSOURCE.COM. I have tons of used parts and will be breaking down a couple of engines over the next couple of weeks.
Not quite sure why you tore an engine down instead of fixing the low compression issue. With only 29k miles and in running condition the only reasons for low compression that are feasible to me having checked the service manual (and assuming you measured compression with a warm engine and wide open throttle) would be bad valve seating or valve tappet clearance too tight and out of spec. I bet this engine did not have valve clearance checks performed, which it had to have done twice in its life so far. A couple of new shims and this engine should easily reach 100 k miles and more without any further engine work. Mine has over 60 k miles and runs like a peach.
Hey there. I don’t sell engines that have low compression nor do I repair them. If an engine has good compression. I sell it as a whole. If the engine has low compression I dismantle it and sell it for parts. Either way. These parts from the dismantled engine will still be used by members of the SV community to help keep their bikes on the road. A lot of people ask me questions like this all the time when it comes to complete bikes. “Why would you dismantle a perfectly running SV with a clean title?!” At the end of the day. It’s just my job and you can’t save every bike.
Lmao! It’s a time lapse video. No fast forwarding. It’s obviously not a 5 minute breakdown. But the video time for the break down was under 5 minutes. Plenty of TH-camrs make videos titled “rebuilding a whatever in under 10 minutes” and that 10 minute video is a highlight montage of the main points of the build to allow you to see it all come together in 10 minutes or less. I used the same concept 🤷🏻♂️

Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate it and I’m glad you found the Timelapse helpful. 😃👍🏼
Thank You for all the SV650 info!
Knowledge is power! (Horse Power...)
No problem at all! Thanks for watching the videos 😃

Thanks for that !

I need to split the case to replace the shift forks ?
Yes. The transmission set is within the case.
I have the DL650 version of this engine outside of the bike, I’m checking to see if the motor is frozen by cranking on the crank and it’s not budging, would it be seized?
Usually means the engine is seized.
Just picked up an 05 sv650s…it’s got aftermarket turn signals and they blink pretty quick. Know of a fix for that?
Thanks man

Well if it has bad rod knock. It’s probably going to need a rebuild soon. I’m not sure what could’ve caused that much oil consumption.
Would the heads need to come off to do timing chains on this engine?
No. Just the camshafts. The side covers, clutch assembly and magneto will need to come off to access the lower sections of the chains and replace the guides.
@@PASSIONBUILT Common thing on these? I’ve got a rattle/ticking that sounds top end ish. But really struggling to put a finger on what it is
Do the Case's usually seperate that easily??
The manual uses a 'Case Seperater Tool'?
Out of the 20+ SV650 and SV1000 engines I have dismantled. I’ve never used a case splitter. I’ve always used a rubber mallet. They all separate very easily.
What tools/special tools are required for this job?
I saw one at 3:10
Tools required for this are 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm sockets. An M20x1.5 grade 8 bolt to remove the magneto. I recommend a good impact gun.

@@PASSIONBUILT thank you!
Another question if you know. What gaskets, if any, do i need when putting the motor back together?
Stator cover, magneto cover, head gaskets, valve covers, and center case. Valve covers you may be able to get away with reusing. Those don’t tend to leak very often. But if your old ones feel brittle or have any tears when you remove them. I would recommend replacing them.
@@PASSIONBUILT thank you soo much!! Gotta start getting these things together. And hope that the rod bearings is all thats making the engine knock!

watched in .25 speed and i still couldn't keep up.
I’ve been wanting to make a complete step by step video on this. But it would be super long. Maybe I’ll give it a shot soon 😃
