2003 SV650 HP/TQ mods?
The title should be 2003+. Planning on getting one of these next month as I want a V-twin sportbike that's not 1000CC and my options are limited. Used to ride a GSX-R750, KTM Supermoto, etc. I know this isn't going to have the power of the GSX-R, but what can I do that's reasonable in cost (no engine work, etc) to boost power?
BTW, I'm not a squid who can't ride, for those who don't know me. Pic below to prove it Last edited by Akilldema; 09-05-2010 at 07:32 PM.. |

Also - I'm planning on picking one up that's got upgraded forks/rear shock, so no need to mention that.

Yeah, gonna have to pass on all of those. Thanks for the tips, but I want another Japanese bike that requires minimal maintenance and can be ridden very hard without any fear of repercussions. Not to mention the availability of SVs makes them easy to find and fairly inexpensive.

Seriously man? I want something I can ride hard, I already have a quirky old V twin. I want a sportbike manufactured within the last 8 years or so. |

and you'll have a quick, inexpensive bike that'll blow the SV's away on the street or the track in every way they can be had for $3500-$4500, which is about the same as a decent SVs
