Just a suggestion, Jeremy. check the magnet's strength on the drain plug. My V strom has the same plug. I replaced it with a Dimple brand - super powerful and protects the engine much more. They're expensive, but worth it. Suzuki is like Harley , they put anemic drain plugs that don't do much. If you do keep the original , just use Honda type crush washer, which is flat and easy to remove. You can use the Honda type many times before replacing. Ive heard Harley's need Dimples, because they shed metal like a dog sheds hair. Suzuki Motors never have much attatched to the magnet- they make excellent engines. Have fun!
You should invest in a 3/8" drive torque wrench - the recommended torque for the sump drain bolt is only 23 NM. It is so easy to over tighten and strip the thread in the sump without a torque wrench ! - Would mean removing the sump and fitting a helicoil thread insert to make good.
Thanks for the video, I been thinking of trading my bike for a SV. so far I have learn 3 things, #1, use both hands to change the oil, #2 you like the word gushing and #3 you hitting puberty kind of late. with that crackling voice. Thank you again and good luck with your bike.
We’re your exhaust downpipes silver/chrome when you got the bike or were they the current colour. Not sure why but on the latest versions they seem to all look rusted!
2 things only because I am a little OCD the drain bolt you called a a nut twice. Second the crush washer on the the drain bolt guys if you for got to get one don’t sweat it you can reuse the same one 2 or 3 times max and it will not leak!
Haha ya I know, once I realized I said it in the video I couldn't take it back. It's hard trying to concentrate on the task at hand and doing the video at the same time. I had a little brain freeze for a few minutes there.
Isn't the first service mandatory to do it at an authorized suzuki workshop to maintain the warranty? I live in Italy, maybe in your country the rules are different..
may be a bit naïve question, but you oil seems pretty clean (not opaque). If the standard wisdom from cars apply, you probably don't need to change oil every 600miles, specially if there are synthetic oil for motorcycles. Thank you for nice content. I'm also thinking about getting a motorcycle license so your vides are really helpful.
Thanks a lot Nirav, I really appreciate that. To answer your question, when you buy a brand new motorcycle, the 600 mile oil change is extremely important even though the oil is still clean, because it helps flush out all the metal shavings and other particles that flake off your brand new engine. Since the bike is still being broken in, you want to flush all the debris and metal shavings out of your bike so it doesn't stay in there and build up and cause problems later on. The first oil change helps with that and that's why it is so important. My dealer specifically told me how important the 600 mile oil service is right after I had purchased the bike. So if you get yourself a new bike, make sure you read the manual and it will explain everything for you. If you have any questions about getting your motorcycle license or a bike, definitely let me know. I'm glad my videos help you out!
How come you didn’t take the bike back to the dealer . I pick up my brand new SV 650 in a few weeks and it has to go to the main dealer for the 600 to keep the warranty
@@peterkenworthy9219 you don’t have to bring it to the dealer to maintain warranty, you absolutely can do any amount of work yourself (and save a lot of money). They just want you to go back so they can charge you for a really simple service, but your warranty will be fine if you do it yourself. Just save the receipts for the oil/filter and keep a work log in case anything goes wrong ever and you can use that to show Suzuki.
@@thecriminalscum8669 Oh thanks . I always thought ( and cars too) that they had to return to a main dealer . I don’t care much fir them personally Once they have your money that’s it .I had my brand new SV650 delivered two weeks ago .thought I may have had a call from them to see if all was ok but nothing . Daughter has new Audi and after sales is poo 💩
nice to see that the drain bolt is by the lowest part of the engine when on the side stand, good design.
This was a helpful video. Thank you for making it.
Glad the video helped you out. I appreciate the comment.
thanks for the video demo. it will help alot to me for new biker.
Thank you Abu Amir, I really appreciate that!
Good job. Nice, simple, straight forward, and clear video. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a concise oil-change video. How did you not spill a drop?
great video..very thorough
Thanks a lot Ashneel Kumar

Thanks for the video!!
No problem, thanks for watching
Hi. Just small adjustment. If you unscrew drain bolt first and then the above vent bolt, your hand gonna stay clean
Awesome, thanks for the tip. That will be helpful for next time haha
That a nice bike man! It looks really good in black. I'm thinking of getting either this or a Vulcan S.
Maybe a little late, but the SV is totally superior in every way. And it's a proven design. One of the best engines on the planet...
@@TrustyZ900 Yeah I'm not really as interested in the Vulcan S as I once was. Right now it's between either the SV650 or Yamaha XSR700.
You'll have a blast on either. good luck!

Don't you need the dealer to do the first service to maintain the warranty?
Lmao at u squeaking on
This video should be called 'SV650. How to change oil with one hand. Tutorial'😄
It is written there that you need 2400 ml and not 2700😂
