Awesome that u had one, absolutely amazing bikes 🔥 I work on them myself (for others too) so that eliminates most problems. I believe Noland stopped working on them though.. thank mate!

For big bikes its a small track, for sumo its a really big track though 🔥

Thanks! I did in fact not change the gearing.. just the stock gearing. Might wanna play around with it in the future though 🔥🙌

Thanks! I have not yet heard the term starbucks bikes 🤔😆. For sure is it better for most riders to ride around on a lighter bike for a couple years to build their skills instead of fighting the power of the bike for years. Anyhow i love the xv platform and would love to get into racing them.. for now just free riding trackdays though 🔥

It will be up the 11th 12:00, sorry for already linking it when its not up yet 👀

@@2Wheeledd thanks alot. I am thinking about picking one up, do you have any recommendations where i can get some good info? How is the reliability, especially when tracking it? Best regards from Austria

@@sreeter01 Awesome! You definitely should! Reliability is no issue if u fix the few weak points and keep urself to the maintenance schedule. Tbis is my third year riding it and havent had real issues yet. Some of the things you should look at: - 2006-2007 models need new sealant between the engine cases, if there is orange sealant. - The oring of the water pump tends to leak - The starter system needs an upgrade, i recommend a stronger starter motor from Michele Gugliemo and a new sprag and a good battery - Buy an xv tuner cable, make sure the mapping and tps are good - Use the right oil and dont overfill it.. and for trackriding replace it every 5 hours - Make sure the oil flow valve is there and in good shape - Check for extreme heat and leakages.. yes this is a race engine and it gets hot.. but glowing headers 2 mins after starting shouldnt happen (can indicate the throttle bodies need syncing for instance) There is quite a few (more) things u need to be aware of but the engine itself is strong.. its just sensitive to abnormalities and maintenance. Then for modifications for trackriding.. different forks, caliper, shorter swingarm and 16.5inch front wheel make the most difference. Just ride with the standard supermoto slicks, even though 180 rear fits it rides like shit with it. If you need more in depth help just hit me up!(Instagram dm works best @2Wheeledd)

@@2Wheeledd thank you very much ill probably come back to that at one point. Enjoy your aprilia my man 👍

@@sreeter01 awesome, will do.. i have quite a few trackdays on the schedule upcoming months

Hehe yup! I remember that moment 😆

Hello! Seems like a normal price to me. Depends on what country and what options u like.. some track build sxv’s smxv’s and vdb’s go for 10-15k or more.. some projects and street sxv’s go for as little as 3k If u need help let me know. U can always message me on instagram @2Wheeledd

@@2Wheeledd Thank you very much! Of course, now I’ll subscribe to your Instagram, and I’ll definitely write when I can buy it, and if it’s not difficult for you, give me advice, thank you again!

@@5lowBurN awesome, sounds good

@@2Wheeledd And thank you to everyone in Netherlands for helping Ukraine

I filmed it with my insta 360 on a stick 🙃 check out my more recent videos or my instagram @2Wheeledd for some awesome footage 🔥 The sxv’s are absolutely amazing bikes, awesome to hear from another owner! Where you from?

@@2Wheeledd I looked it up the 360 technology seems just like the holy grail of motorcycle action cams. I'll need one. 😎 I'm from Germany. I always wanted the SXV because it's my dream bike since it first discussions in the magazines 2005. Now I own two (and one even in the VDB configuration, pistons, camshafts, engine block...). 😎

@@malamutebikes1340 awesome! Im working on a vdb myself too! Also building an rrv550 🔥

@@2Wheeledd VDB parts are not easy to find. 🙃 Mine are from an American Racing Team. What chassis do you want to use for your rrv550? That's always an interesting build.

@@malamutebikes1340 check out my instagram for daily updates on my build. Ill be using an sxv550 frame, possibly with vdb cutouts 😊

Yeah no problem, let me know when ur video is up!

Will do, thanks!

Shiit dude! I saw ur bike in the morning and thought damn awesome bike.. hope u recovery is gonna be well mate

Recovery will be 100% luckily, but it will take 6-8 weeks time. Anyways, nice riding & sound of the sxv !

@@Joaaj glad to hear that! Good luck next months recovering and getting back in to shape 🙌 thanks for the compliment, i absolutely love the xv platform 🔥

Awesome to hear from you! Had a good time riding with him 🔥

This is a 2006 sxv550, full vdb spec. Sadly enough all sxv’s are old since they havent been made for over a decade 🥲

Do you mean in the first laps? When my slipperclutch is cold it disengages when i am braking 🙃

​@@2WheeleddDoes all slipper clutches work that way? Once I was thinking about installing one on my 990 smt but shit is expensive and needed only when road os wet or tires cold.

Yeah its amazing 🔥

Sad to hear, the bikes and the engines are great! The few having problems are just shouting harder than the majority riding them no problems. They need proper maintenance but when you do, you can enjoy them. Been riding mine for 3 years now, it never let me down once 🔥

I have an 450 VDB. Im doing an engine rebuild on it currently so im borrowing the parts onto my sxv untill the vdb engine is done 🔥🙃 If you want help upgrading your sxv let me know, i can come by many parts. Dm me on instagram if you want 🙌

Awesome! Absolutely love the bikes, if i can help you with anything hit me up 👌 (instagram @2Wheeledd)

unfortunately i don't have Instagram but i am in all the Sxv facebook groups and forum @@2Wheeledd

I have not had it on a dyno yet but i do have a full titanium exhaust and modified high flow intake and a custom mapping.. so guessing around 80hp on the wheel

It's not about the horsepower with these bikes - it's the torque. The only problem with these is they need constant servicing and rebuilding. Great bikes but high maintenance. And, of course, they sound immense 😁😁😁😁😁😁

@@justanothernoobe sxv has similar maintenance schedules to any other supermoto/mx bike.. most bikes need piston replaced at 30-50 hours.. sxv can do 100-120 hours on their pistons.. you have two though 😆

❤️

I have been doing trackdays with that bike for almost 3 years now and the bike has not let me down once 🔥🙌 Had an empty fuel tank once, had a broken killswitch once and had a worn out sprag once.. the engine has been running amazing though

@@2Wheeledd ive owned a 550 14 years and as much as i love it it something always lets me down

Yhh the difference is insane, other bikes weigh the same but the sxv has 30 hp more.. only the newest and tuned bikes get anywhere near the power of an sxv

Check me out on instagram for daily updates, @2Wheeledd! Currently im building an 450 VDB, i borrowed the frontend for my sxv until the engine of the VDB is done 🙃.. Awesome project will start right after the VDB is up and running 🔥

Just a practice day, sessions of 20 minutes, free riding all day

Yhh the SXV’s are absolutely amazing bikes! Good to hear other SXV riders, keep it up! Stay tuned, some awesome things happening next season 🔥

Thanks for your comment! People mostly use the mxv for conversion (smxv it will be then).. rxv can also be converted no problem, i got an full sxv frontend and rims if you like.. that would get you almost there already 🔥🙌 Keep in mind the xv platform requires some heavy maintenance and if you cannot do this yourself it will get expensive to own.. in 2 years of riding em i havent had real problems yet though 🔥

Thank you very much! Every day i keep learning more and more.. last season was better than my first season and i just know next season is gonna be better than last! Absolutely love the xv platform and cant wait to learn more and more. Dope to hear that you have been riding em for over 10 years! Keep it up

Depends on your gearing.. with stock gearing it tops out around 120 mph.. it has plenty power to go faster though

🙌🔥

😆😆🤣🙌

I have a Quickshifter installed 🙃

@@2Wheeledd Your XV seems to be properly set up and running very well - is it a Noland or Amauri Nunes build?

@@4R1P5R ahh yes it is working as i want it to! Rebuild it myself and did the track setup myself too. Did get some help of a good friend though 🙌

@@2Wheeledd Nice work man! I have a 2011 SXV 550 built and modified by Allen Noland. It's a weapon! Keep up the good work posting XV content...

@@4R1P5R poah dope! Currently rebuilding a sxv450 VDB for next season 🔥

Thank you very much! I enjoyed it a lot and more will come 🙌

You should!! They are absolutely amazing!! Rebuilding a 450 VDB currently, cant wait to race it

Thanks!

Yes ofcourse no problem, let me know when ur video is up!
